This episode was recorded live at the Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale conference held in Helsinki in July 2024. Simo Parpola reflects on his long and momentous career. He explains how he became an assyriologist, and how he came to focus on the Assyrians. A key collaboration led to one of the most significant projects in assyriological history. What was it like to study large groups of tablets in the days before bulk digitisation? How did they identify so many joins remotely? Simo then discusses what has brought him satisfaction, and offers advice to younger scholars. He also explains what else he has dedicated his time to. 2:19 why assyriology? 4:38 why study the Assyrians? 7:49 origins of the project 12:24 early digital technology 13:33 joining fragments 17:17 looking back 19:04 dream finds 20:54 reaction to other projects 21:28 finding support for the project 23:32 combining traditional and innovative thinking Music by Ruba Hillawi Website: http://wedgepod.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSM7ZlAAgOXv4fbTDRyrWgw Email: wedgepod@gmail.com Twitter: @wedge_pod Patreon: http://Patreon.com/WedgePod…
