Could You Survive The Mesopotamian Underworld? ForYouTube

The Mesopotamian concept of the underworld, or simply ‘life after death’, differed depending on the time period or the region one might’ve found themselves in. Indeed, there was no all encompassing book that detailed the rules or the features of what lurked on ‘the other side’ and there was no fundamental belief that determined whether a person might burn in the netherworld or live forever in the heavens. Naturally, when we think about the myriad of cultures from the Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians and Assyrians, there’s bound to be some ideas that were not congruent with each other, which meant that what might’ve been true for one group of people in the ancient times, might not have been the case for another group some thousand years later.
