ancient history doesn’t have to feel ancient

Whether you’re curious about ancient languages or intrigued

by long-lost empires, you don’t need a degree (or a dusty bookshelf) to get started

At Digital Hammurabi, we make serious scholarship seriously accessible. Our courses are grounded, friendly, and taught by people who genuinely love this stuff — and want you to love it too

Why learn with us?

If you’ve ever wondered how people lived, spoke, and thought thousands of years ago, you’re in the right place.

Our courses go beyond textbooks and dry lectures. We invite you to step into the world of kings and scribes, merchants and myth-makers, exploring the languages, cultures, and histories of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and beyond.

Whether you're a complete beginner, an enthusiast, or a life-long student looking to deepen your knowledge, our courses are designed to be engaging, informative, and (most importantly), fun.

How it
works

Both our Language and History courses are available in two formats — choose what suits you best:

Live Classes

Join a scheduled course and learn in real time alongside other curious humans. You’ll get the chance to ask questions, hear others' perspectives, and be gently guided through the trickier bits.

On-Demand Courses

Prefer to learn in your own time (and possibly in your pyjamas)?

Our pre-recorded courses let you hit pause, rewind, and revisit whenever you like.

Whichever you choose, you’ll get real substance, clear teaching, and a space that welcomes all levels of experience.
