Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

So then, presuming that they were killed in the desert, basically just another phrase for "desert demons"? :-P

Ghosts are not demons though

I dunno, epileptic seizures were "demons", cancer would be a "demon", so ghosts of slain warriors could certainly be thought of a "demon" as well? You would have to ask that Sumerian Healer though: I wasn't there, so cannot speak for them:-).

Or maybe PTSD is caused by angry ghosts. Porqué no los dos?

This is such an interesting perspective on ghosts and their prevalence in history across the world. Reoccurring violent dreams or anxiety and fear in the middle of the night from PTSD would make sense.

Not sure we can dismiss the Sumerian theory for PTSD here
