Episode Details

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.
