Dr Irving Finkel, curator at the British Museum, explores why the belief in ghosts is what makes us human.

There are few things more in common across cultures than the belief in ghosts. Ghosts inhabit something of the very essence of what it is to be human. Whether we personally 'believe' or not, we are all aware of ghosts and the rich mythologies and rituals surrounding them. They have inspired, fascinated and frightened us for centuries - yet most of us are only familiar with the vengeful apparitions of Shakespeare, or the ghastly spectres haunting the pages of 19th-century Gothic literature. But their origins are much, much older….

The First Ghosts: Most Ancient of Legacies takes us back to the very beginning. A world-renowned authority on cuneiform, the form of writing on clay tablets that dates back to 3400 BC, Irving Finkel has embarked upon an ancient ghost hunt, scouring these tablets to unlock the secrets of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians to breathe new life into the first ghost stories ever written. In The First Ghosts, he uncovers an extraordinarily rich seam of ancient spirit wisdom that has remained hidden for nearly 4,000 years, covering practical details of how to live with ghosts, how to get rid of them and bring them back and how to avoid becoming one, as well as exploring more philosophical questions: what are ghosts, why does the idea of them remain so powerful despite the lack of concrete evidence and what do they tell us about being human?


伊弗林·芬克尔斯坦(Dr Irving Finkel),英国博物馆的 curator,探讨了人们对幽灵信仰之所以让我们成为人类的原因。

在各种文化中,没有什么比相信幽灵更加普遍。幽灵承载着我们存在的本质特征的一部分。不管我们是否“相信”,我们都意识到了幽灵以及围绕它们丰富而神秘的神话和仪式。数世纪以来,它们一直激励、迷住并吓倒了我们——然而大多数人都只熟悉莎士比亚中的复仇幽灵或19世纪哥特文学中令人毛骨悚然的幽魂。

最早的幽灵:最古老的遗产带我们追溯到最初的起源。作为泥板上楔形文字形式书写学的权威,伊弗林·芬克尔斯坦自3400年前起,开始了一次古代幽灵搜查,在这些泥板上解密苏美尔人、巴比伦人和亚述人的秘密,以使人类历史上第一篇写成的幽灵故事焕发出新的生命。在这部《最早的幽灵》中,他揭露了数千年未曾被发现的古老精神智慧,包括如何与幽灵共处、如何摆脱它们以及如何召唤它们回来,还有避免成为幽灵的方法,以及探索更深层次的问题:什么是幽灵?尽管缺乏确凿证据,人们对这个概念保持如此强大的吸引力的原因是什么?以及它们能告诉我们些什么关于人类的本质?
