@sonsofthethreshold: 3,000 years ago, Babylon wrote down what to do if a lizard lands on your bed, plus 10,000 other things that might happen to you today. it's all in Šumma ālu, "if a city", the Babylonian book of omens: over 100 clay tablets of if-this-then-that. one whole tablet is just lizards. a lizard gets in your bag and has a lie down, you'll be annoyed. a line of ants in the house means the owner will die, mould on the walls means the money's going, and a bath in the evening means you'll never be rich. stubby toes make you rich, bad breath means nobody will agree with you, and the animals kept you up to speed on your relationship. your dreams counted too. there was even an undo button, and a stand-in king for the really bad ones. ancient Mesopotamia, superstition and divination. so what did your morning mean? send this to the friend who reads into everything. they'll want all 10,000. #ancienthistory #mesopotamia #babylon #darkacademia #esoteric
