Publisher's Synopsis
Lightbulb Moments in Human History tracks humanityâs big ideas and the eccentricities of those who conceived them. Along the way youâll find answers to questions such as: Why did the Sumerians have temple prostitutes? Just how psychotic was the God of the Old Testament? Why did parents in ancient Greece encourage their young sons to take older male lovers? And what on earth inspired the Mayans to have tobacco enemas? Funny. Irreverent. Never boring. This is not the history you were taught in school. Scott Edwin Williamsâ Lightbulb Moments in Human History engages, entertains, and provides hope that while times are tough, weâre not all going to hell in a handbasket.
