Lucas and Luna explore the ancient Ammonite kingdom, centered at modern-day Amman. They discuss the biblical conflict with King David, the god Milcom, and the massive stone sculptures from the 9th century BCE. Lucas explains the Ammonite language, their economy based on trade and agriculture, and their eventual absorption into the Babylonian empire. The episode also touches on the mystery of the 8,000 human remains at Tell el-‘Umeiri and the modern descendants of the Ammonites. A deep dive into a culture that thrived between biblical narratives and imperial powers.
