Manage episode 509498574 series 3462321
Hola hola!This is Jorge and Fran again back on Spanish Loops, the podcast where stones, myths, and history collide.
Buckle up, because in our next episode, we’re unravelling “The Hand of Irulegui”.
A recent archaeological marvel from the Basque lands, glowing like a beacon in the darkness of our linguistic past. This isn’t just a statue or relic, it might be the missing clue to where the Basque language came from. Could it be that thissymbol, half myth, half history, holds the key to understanding who the Basques really are?
We’ll take you from dusty excavation sites to the living culture of today, talking while chasing the whispers of Irulegi. What does this hand-shaped inscribed artefact tell usabout language roots, tribal rituals, mythology, and possibly even how ancient Basque words came to life?
We’ll explore competing theories, the controversies, and what it could mean for Basque identity, not just for scholars, but for anyone with Basque blood, heritage, or curiosity.
Expect nothing and all. The secrets from this stone are still hidden somewhere in an excavation, and the moment the artefact's patterns come into view, the breathing hush of hypothesis, clashes interpretation.
Subscribe, share, and get your questions ready…, because the Hand of Irulegi wants to speak!
