Megan Lewis is best known to the biblically-curious audience as the host of the Misquoting Jesus Podcast, but the history, literature, and cultures of Mesopotamia are her academic passion. She is the driving force behind the Digital Hammurabi YouTube channel and podcast, where she breaks down ancient history, texts, and languages with clarity, warmth, and the occasional metaphorical eye-roll at academic snobbery.

Megan holds a B.A. and M.Phil. in Ancient History and Assyriology from Birmingham University (UK), and an M.A. in Near Eastern Studies from Johns Hopkins University. She completed all but the dissertation in a Ph.D. program at Johns Hopkins before deciding that her time (and sanity) might be better spent making ancient knowledge available to more people. She might finish the doctorate someday, but in the meantime, she’s got a camera, a microphone, and a mission. Sometimes she even remembers to turn the microphone on!
