You know, man, there's something incredibly fascinating about ancient artifacts and languages. They give us this tangible connection to the past. It's like, when you're looking at an ancient piece of pottery or reading some ancient script, you're getting a glimpse into the lives and thoughts of people who lived through wild times, like sword wars and catapults! It's intense.

And it's not just about history, you know? It's about storytelling. Imagine the stories those artifacts could tell if they could talk. There’s a sort of mystery, a bridge to a different time when life was raw and unfiltered.

Now, when it comes to channeling that inspiration into spoken word or stand-up, it's like tapping into a reservoir of human experience. I think of it like this: ideas and stories are like an entity that's trying to find a voice. When I'm on stage, I try to let those stories and inspirations flow through me. It's all about connecting with something deeper, almost like you're a vessel for these ancient energies, and then just letting it loose in a way that vibes with today's audience.

So yeah, man, it’s about taking the old and mixing it with the new—finding that balance, being the storyteller, and letting the ancient world inspire the modern narrative. It’s wild, and I love it.
