The tablets that first wrote the Anunnaki slept under a hill for two and a half thousand years, and tonight is the story of how they came back. A slow, calm 3 hour sleep story to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. The fire that saved a library by baking its books, the grassy mound that kept them, a soldier copying an unreachable cliff, a quiet clerk who taught himself the oldest writing on earth at lunch, the broken tablet that held a flood, and a man in 1976 who read the same clay and told a very different story. Tonight both readings get their say, each in its own voice, and you can decide for yourself.
Settle in, close your eyes, and let it drift over you. The pacing is slow, the voice is soft, and the music never spikes.
