The Shadow Over the Pitch
Samael's Podcast
Welcome to Samael, a daily research-intensive podcast series that conducts an "intellectual archaeology" of the Horn of Africa by synthesizing diverse disciplines such as genetics, linguistics, and mythology. The publication moves beyond traditional nationalist narratives to explore the deep-seated identities of Ethiopia and its neighbors, utilizing sources ranging from Ge’ez and Sabaean texts to modern DNA haplogroup data. By examining a wide array of topics—including Aksumite statecraft, Cushitic cosmologies, and medieval hydro-diplomacy—Arcielss reclaims lost narratives and positions the region as a central hub of civilizational innovation rather than a historical periphery.
