Description

Joe Rogan and his guest discuss the discovery of ancient Ugaritic texts and how they help scholars understand the religious traditions that existed before parts of the Hebrew Bible were written. The conversation compares the Ugaritic serpent Lotan with the biblical Leviathan, including striking similarities in the language used to describe them. They also explore why dragons and sea monsters became symbols of chaos in ancient creation traditions.
