Did you know the world's first written riddle is older than the Great Pyramid—and still unsolved?
Travel back to the cradle of civilization and meet the puzzles that trained priests, entertained kings, and quietly birthed logic itself. The Comprehensive Account of The Mesopotamian Riddle unveils clay tablets that illustrate how puzzles influenced river irrigation, assessed legal disputes, and even found their way into Plato's classroom.
Inside you'll discover:
Anticipate unexpected outcomes: uncovering clever puns in news articles, deconstructing weak reasoning at seminars, and dominating trivia evenings with stories of a drum that "sings only when beaten." Above all, you'll sense the pulse of history—not in timelines, but through curious inquiries that continue to seek resolution.
Skip over yet another unremarkable description or hit "Buy Now" to become part of a 4,000-year dialogue. Your mind, and the tale you'll share at your next gathering, will be grateful.
