‘somewhere beyond Urartu’
+.. psychedelic rock +..psychedelic +..60s Deep Fried Grandeur by Ryley Walker And Kikagaku Moyo + Honesty Flowers by Upupayāma + With Dim Light by Minami Deutsch/南ドイツ Mesopotamian rituals concerned with the dead and indeed all texts to do with ghosts make it clear that they are supposed to stay quiet and peaceful in the Netherworld, but it is never explained what they are supposed to be doing there or what they are waiting for. There was no moral assessment of a person’s life ahead of them, no punishment or reward, and certainly no choice between a heaven and a hell; the Mesopotamians never had that set of problems. But if there were no destination beyond the waiting, what were they waiting for, if not for the call to step back on the great cycle of birth and death, as and when there was a vacancy?
