Inspired by a lecture that our very own Rita Lucarelli gave last year at Harvard's Semitic Museum on Magic and Demonology in Ancient Egypt, I've pulled together a few video and audio resources that talk about ancient demons, magic, and the underworld.
After Rita's talk, watch this short (5 minute) video with the very entertaining Irving Finkel, a curator at the British Museum, talking about ancient Mesopotamian demons. Irving Finkel has a bit more to say about Mesopotamian Ghostbusting in this 5-minute piece from the British Museum's Curator's Corner.
Moving to Mesoamerica and North America, watch a lecture Myths of Origin, Duality, and Vengeance (1-hour lecture from the University of Pennsylvania Museum), with Dr. Megan Kassabaum and Dr. Simon Martin.
Returning to Egypt, listen to a podcast Dreams, Nightmares, and Demons in Ancient Egypt with Dr Kasia Szpakowska (Associate Professor of Egyptology at Swansea University).
Next, check out an interesting 30-minute lecture by Brian Hoggard on Magical House Protection: The Archaeology of Counter-Witchcraft .
If you like that, you may also enjoy Dealing with the Devil: The Ritual Protection of Buildings Against Evil with James Wright (a 1-hour Archaeology & Ale Podcast out of the University of Sheffield).
Finally, if you haven't yet had a chance to explore Chauvet Cave by watching The Final Passage, it will be available for free online until June 7. Those who enjoyed The Final Passage may also like Into the Underworld (National Geographic 1-hour video with lectures and a panel discussion with four archaeologists).
