Description
Enter the shadowed gates of Kutha-ancient Sumer's feared and sacred necropolis-where the living and the dead spoke through rituals, offerings, and clay-born messengers. In this groundbreaking exploration of Mesopotamian religion, Ulysses King unearths the forgotten world of Sumerian necromancy. At the heart lies Nergal, god of plague and lord of the underworld, whose cult demanded reverence, sacrifice, and communication with the spirits of the dead. Drawing on archaeological evidence, mythological texts, and historical analysis, The Sumerian Necromancer's City offers a vivid journey into a civilization obsessed with death, where clay figurines carried messages into the netherworld, and rituals in the city of Kutha sought to appease divine wrath and secure protection from pestilence. Scholarly yet immersive, this book sheds light on the spiritual logic of the ancient world-and the enduring human desire to pierce the veil between life and death.
