I am in love with primary source based research. Recently I’ve collected three. Sumer, American System, and Greek classicist. (yeah yeah, i’m WELL aware I’m a million miles from primary when i have to rely on someone else to translate for me, but i only have so much time guys)
I’m on book three of Sitchin’s Earth Chronicles.
I’m on podcast replay part 7 of Wendell’s reading of Micheal Hudson’s book on the American System.
Then there is Dr. Ammon Hillman. What a wonderful loon. Or a demon. Or a drug broken guy. I’m sure Sitchin was similarly disparaged in his time.
He’s an egghead. He was raised baptist. Loves Greek (language, culture, etc). Wrote a book on drugs in antiquity. [The Chemical Muse: Drug Use and the Roots of Western Civilization by D.C.A. Hillman | Goodreads] Enjoys translating Greek Bible using his comprehension of drugs in antiquity.
Has a obscene delight in making claims as to Jesus, disciples, drugs and child sex practices.
Also teaches anyone interested in reading Greek (YT playlist).
He goes by the name Lady Babylon (on you tube). Very triggering, be aware. He describes Christianity/Judaism as a fairy tale.
But, I find, exactly like Sitchin - the parts where he simply does his take on direct translations of the original writings - there’s gold in them hills.
Sitchin’s attached narrative is mildly blasphemous.
Hillman/Lady Babylon’s attached narrative is intentionally flagrantly blasphemous.
He has three books published.
He has a very active You Tube.
He teaches greek (you can just do the work with him as teacher through YT playlist + basic greek reading book).
Here’s a LONG 3 podcast with Danny Jones that semi popularized him.
