In this episode, I'm joined by author and scholar Dr. Gregory Shushan to delve into the fascinating world of near-death experiences (NDEs) and their influence on afterlife beliefs across various ancient civilizations. Dr. Shushan, an esteemed scholar affiliated with several universities and an award-winning author, discusses his latest book, Near Death Experience in Ancient Civilizations. The conversation covers intriguing insights from cultures such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and Mesoamerica, and explores how NDEs may have shaped religious thought and afterlife imagery. Dr. Shushan provides a unique perspective on near-death experiences, shamanic visions, and their cultural implications, making a compelling case for why these phenomena deserve more attention in the academic study of religions.
