My new dishwasher came with a conveniently sized piece of packing foam, which I used my table saw to cut into ziggurats to populate lost lands with.

Call it password protected, I got this shit locked Put my hands on a mic, put my foes in a box Not a word you can tell me, came to give ’em hell these Bars full of scars from the punches that they dealt me Now I’m bullet training on tracks that never fail me Pull apart the bars nothing ever can derail me

Offerings at Ziggurats

-- based on offerings and writings, we know the Mesopotamians saw the gods as like them in appearance and action but with supernatural powers

-- the gods were like big, powerful kids that tended to throw temper tantrums

-- tantrums resulted in destructive things like dust storms from Pazuzu

-- gifts left at Ziggurats were things like toys, jams and jellies, and bread

-- Mesopotamians saw themselves as play-things of the gods, so they offered toys as a way of saying “play with this, not me”

-- had early human sacrifices      -- didn’t last long      -- accusation of human sacrifices comes from Hebrews, who left in 1800 BCE
