About this episode
In this episode of GL Deep Dives, Gorgorod uncovers the truth behind the Sumerian King List — an ancient document claiming that early rulers lived for tens of thousands of years. Many see it as evidence of gods, extraterrestrials, or a forgotten advanced civilization… but what does the historical record really show?We break down the origins of the list, why Sumerian scribes inflated reigns to impossible lengths, and how politics — not the supernatural — shaped these legendary numbers. This is the story of how myth, propaganda, and power turned ordinary kings into immortal giants.? Ancient mysteries, modern clarity. No dogma, just deep dives.Support the show
