"Lightning flashes in the sky, while on Earth, the Moon trembles in fear."

It sounds like an apocalypse, but this is a millennia-old Hittite myth. In this episode of Veritas Antiqua, we trace a bilingual (Hattian and Hittite) ancient tablet to tell the story of the Moon God Kašku's fall from the sky.

The terrifying wrath of the Storm God, the Moon's crash into a marketplace, a cosmic panic that no one noticed, and the gods Hapantali and Kamrušepa trying to restore order...

And what does that mysterious "surrealist" lion drawing, sketched at the end of this ancient tablet, tell us about all this chaos?

Join us to discover one of Anatolia's most bizarre legends.
