1
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:10.160
The Gollumn of Prague is a mystical clay guardian created

2
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:15.199
to protect a persecuted community. But was this supernatural entity

3
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:20.960
truly a hero or did it become a monster beyond control?

4
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:28.320
We're telling that story right here tonight.

5
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:38.119
What you were about to is bury based on witness accounts, testimonies,

6
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.200
and public record.

7
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:42.280
This is.

8
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.799
Terrifying and truth.

9
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.719
In the shadowy alleys of old Prague, a silent guardian

10
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.159
was said to rome a being shaped from clay, bound

11
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.760
by faith and brought to life through ancient whispers of power.

12
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:13.840
Created to protect, but feared for its uncontrollable strength, the

13
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.719
Gollum of Prague became more than just a legend. It

14
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.799
became a warning what happens when man dares to play creator?

15
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.840
And when does the line between protector and monster begin

16
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.799
to blur. This is a story I've always been fascinated

17
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.959
by because Jewish folklore is so undercovered in popular culture.

18
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.439
We'll get to all the details about the Gollum of

19
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:58.120
Prague right after these quick words. For centuries, this tale

20
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.359
has been whispered through the narrow streets and dark corners

21
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.879
of history. In Jewish tradition, the Gollum is a famous

22
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.879
figure that is said to have been made of clay.

23
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.000
This isn't just any guardian. It was carved out of

24
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.960
the ground and brought to life by old rights and

25
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.439
the will of the person who made it. Folklore is

26
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.120
a vast subject, and this story is merely a small

27
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:33.319
part of it. However, it illustrates how power, loyalty, and

28
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:39.800
manipulating an enigmatic force can yield unexpected outcomes. If you

29
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:45.280
believed you comprehended everything about legends and ancient guardians, well

30
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:51.039
you would be mistaken. While there are numerous myths circulating,

31
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:57.280
this one stands out. It revolves around a captivating tale

32
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:04.319
that has intrigued individuals for generations, sparking heated debates along

33
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:10.000
the way. Let's journey back in time to Prague during

34
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.280
the fifteen hundreds, where our narrative commences. This part of

35
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.879
town was vibrant, filled with the day to day lives

36
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.599
of its residents, but it wasn't all bright and sunny.

37
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.240
The Jewish people there were dealing with some pretty tough times,

38
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.719
facing dangers and unfair treatment just because of their beliefs.

39
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.360
In the midst of all this, there was one person

40
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:42.520
who really stood out Rabbi Low. Unlike the average person

41
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.520
of his time, he was deeply respected and incredibly wise. Moreover,

42
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.800
he had an enormous heart for everyone in his community.

43
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.400
Witnessing the challenging situations his people were encountering, he realized

44
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:05.319
he couldn't simply remain passive and do nothing. He yearned

45
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:12.479
to protect them, But the question remained how. The Gollumn,

46
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:19.439
a giant protector crafted from clay, emerged from there. However,

47
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.439
its creation was far from a simple task, akin to

48
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.199
playing with mud and water. It was a monumental undertaking

49
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:35.120
that required tapping into ancient and mystical knowledge, knowledge that

50
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:42.279
ordinary individuals dared not venture into. Driven by his unwavering

51
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.879
determination to aid his people, Rabbi Low embarked on a

52
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:53.279
clandestine mission. He delved deep into ancient tomes brimming with

53
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:59.720
spells and secrets. Combining prayer with immense effort to achieve

54
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:05.480
and extraordinary feat With reverent invocation of the sacred name

55
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:09.240
of God, he breathed life into a mixture of clay

56
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.000
and water. Before his very eyes, the Gollumn emerged from

57
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:21.240
the earth, standing tall and silent, poised to confront any

58
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:27.240
threats that might arise. This wasn't just any clay figure.

59
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:33.000
It was more like a superhero, crafted solely to protect

60
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.399
the Rabbi's people. Awe inspiring as it was, this creation

61
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.439
wasn't without risks. The Rabbi understood that dealing with such

62
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:50.480
powerful forces entailed significant responsibilities. Gazing upon the towering gollum,

63
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.199
there was a glimmer of hope for a safer future,

64
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:00.720
yet also a touch of uncertainty about the true implays

65
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:07.160
of bringing something so formidable to life. Rabbi low amidst

66
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:11.800
the vibrant heart of Prague, gazed upon his extraordinary creation,

67
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:19.879
the gollum named Joseph. Despite his imposing presence, Joseph's purpose

68
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.600
was evident. He was the guardian of the Jewish community

69
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:29.680
of Prague, which they so desperately needed. Unlike humans, Joseph

70
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:36.079
possessed an unwavering dedication, requiring neither sleep nor sustenance. His

71
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.079
very existence served as a shield protecting the ghettos from harm,

72
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.839
and his silent vigil deterred those with malice. Tales of

73
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.160
Joseph's strength spread throughout the city, evoking a mixture of

74
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.560
admiration and trepidation in the hearts of the people. However,

75
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:02.319
the power within Joseph carried an element of unpredictability. As

76
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:08.439
he faithfully served, incidents began to emerge, suggesting a degree

77
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:14.040
of autonomy. Stories whispered through the alleys of Prague about

78
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:19.639
the Gollum displaying anger, reacting with force not clearly guided

79
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:26.360
by his creator. The lines between protector and threat blurred

80
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.759
as the earthly creature crafted from prayers and clay, ventured

81
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:38.240
into the realm of agency Joseph the Gollum grew increasingly powerful,

82
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.800
yet equally erratic. Murmurs transformed into concerns, and the tales

83
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:49.879
took on a darker hue. Rabbi Low found himself confronted

84
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.680
with a dilemma, torn between the safety his Gollum provided

85
00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:01.000
and the potential chaos it might unleash. The very balance

86
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.879
of the Prague Jewish community hung in the balance, hinged

87
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:12.199
on the actions of their once celebrated sentinel. Ultimately, Rabbi

88
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.360
Low had to face the choice to prevent further calamity.

89
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.199
He resolved to deactivate the Gollum. The lore recounts the

90
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:27.399
Rabbi removing the divine essence from Joseph's mouth, or altering

91
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:32.200
the mystical inscriptions etched upon his form, which drained the

92
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:37.440
life force from the mighty protector. The clay colossus that

93
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.919
had once stood as a beacon of strength and safety

94
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:47.679
now lay dormant, a silent testament to the risks associated

95
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:54.559
with meddling with forces that transcend the boundaries of the divine.

96
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.120
The deactivation of the Gollumn didn't mark the end of

97
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.000
the story, however, Joseph and his creator's tale became a

98
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:10.080
timeless source of folklore. To this day. Speculations persist about

99
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:14.759
the Gollum's hidden resting place. Some believe it's concealed in

100
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:19.240
the attic of the old New Synagogue in Prague, dormant

101
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.879
yet ready to awaken if the Jewish people ever face

102
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:31.000
imminent danger. The Gollum's legacy continues to captivate inspiring conversations

103
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:36.120
as well as curiosity. It's a story of protection and power,

104
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:48.759
exploring the delicate balance between the two. Building upon the narrative,

105
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:53.440
our exploration delves into the mystical realm of Jewish lore,

106
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:59.639
where Rabbi Lowe's creation of Joseph finds its origins. In

107
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:05.960
ancient times, people pondered the possibility of creating artificial life,

108
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:11.399
a concept that transcended natural birth. This intriguing notion even

109
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.840
found its way into the Talmud, a revered collection of

110
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:21.480
Jewish teachings. According to these writings, while good and righteous

111
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:26.519
individuals might possess the potential to conjure a miniature world,

112
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:32.639
the act of sinning could restrict their abilities. During the

113
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:37.720
Middle Ages, there existed devoted Jewish mystics in southern Germany

114
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:43.159
who yearned to embark on a quest to create a gollum.

115
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.840
Unlike those who sought power or practical applications, these mystics

116
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.440
believed that by bringing a gollumn to life, they could

117
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.320
deepen their connection with God and potentially attain spiritual perfection.

118
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:05.200
Employed intricate combinations of Hebrew letters to attempt to transform

119
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:10.240
a statue crafted from clay or dust into a living entity.

120
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.480
For them, the pursuit of this creation process held greater

121
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:21.720
significance than the specific purpose they sought to achieve. In

122
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:27.799
nineteen ninety nine, artist Lynn Avidenka created a captivating peace

123
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:34.519
titled Breathing Mud, which depicted a Gollumn emerging amidst ten

124
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:38.720
divine powers believed to play a role in the creation

125
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:43.480
of the world. The comprehensive, step by step guide to

126
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.120
crafting a Gollum was discovered within ancient explanations of the

127
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:55.360
Book of Creation, another venerable text. These provided detailed instructions

128
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.679
specifying the precise words and names of God that should

129
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.840
be us used in a specific manner. They included intricate

130
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.440
drawings and charts that outlined the exact arrangement of letters

131
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:15.879
or alignment with celestial bodies. These ancient texts cautioned against

132
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:21.840
even the slightest mistake, emphasizing the inherent complexity and caution

133
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:28.279
required when attempting to create life in essence. The tale

134
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.679
of creating a Gollum intertwines faith, magic, and the profound

135
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.600
human desire to comprehend the essence of creation. It serves

136
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.879
as a testament to the curiosity and ambition of individuals

137
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:49.360
from a distant era, their relentless pursuit of transcending the

138
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:56.399
boundaries of humanity and reaching the divine. Continuing the legacy

139
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.960
of gollum myths, contemporary artists find in a ways to

140
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:08.000
explore this captivating theme. One striking example is Joshua Aberbanl's

141
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.639
contribution to the Galum exhibition at the Jewish Museum in Berlin.

142
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:19.519
His sculpture skillfully incorporates Hebrew letters central to traditional gollum

143
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:26.759
creation myths. Aberbanal's unique interpretation centers around the Hebrew word emmet,

144
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:32.080
meaning truth, which plays a pivotal role in animating a gollum.

145
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:38.600
The three letters alef, mem, and tav spell life when

146
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:44.039
combined as emmet. However, if the alef is removed, the

147
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:50.200
remaining letters form the word met or death, rendering the

148
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:55.960
gollum lifeless once again. In Aburbanl's sculpture, the mem and

149
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:59.799
tav form the body, while the ale f is placed

150
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:04.399
at as a removable piece, symbolizing the delicate balance between

151
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:11.759
creation and destruction, life and death. This depiction underscores the

152
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.399
transient nature of the gollum, caught between merely a collection

153
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:21.799
of letters or a living entity, depending on the presence

154
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:27.320
of the aleph. Other artists delve deeper into the traditional

155
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:33.279
materials believed to form gollumns earth, clay, sand, and dust.

156
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:39.519
These seemingly ordinary elements are transformed by artists into entities

157
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:44.840
imbued with life. This process not merely mystical, but also

158
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:52.120
a profound metaphor for the artistic process itself. Involves materializing raw,

159
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:58.000
unformed matter into something meaningful and alive, akin to the

160
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:03.759
transformation of a gollumn. Moreover, there's an intriguing parallel between

161
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:08.120
a gollum and the art it inspires. Once the creation

162
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:13.200
process is complete, the artwork, like a gollum, gains a

163
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:17.759
life of its own, beyond the creator's initial control. This

164
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:22.600
concept reflects the artistic journey striving to mold and imbue

165
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:28.120
life into creations, only to paradoxically lose control as these

166
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:34.879
creations acquire meanings and interpretations in the eyes of others.

167
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:40.320
These interpretations and repurposing of the gollum myth embody the

168
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:44.679
timeless allure of its appeal, as well as its reflective

169
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:50.799
nature on the essence of creation and creativity itself. The gollum,

170
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.600
once a mere relic of the past, has transcended its

171
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:59.600
historical context and found new relevance in contemporary pop culture.

172
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:06.679
Its rich metaphorical narrative continues to fascinate audiences, inspiring diverse

173
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:12.919
works of literature, film, and scholarly discussions. These works delve

174
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:19.159
into profound ethical considerations surrounding the act of creation, particularly

175
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:24.320
in the domains of more modern concepts like artificial intelligence

176
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:29.240
and robotics, the Gollum has become a symbol of creation

177
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:34.240
and the complexities of human identity. In modern literature, the

178
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:38.799
Gollum often appears as a magical or supernatural element, adding

179
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:44.360
some enchantment to narratives. In films, characters or robots resembling

180
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:49.159
the Gollum are frequently portrayed, reflecting the struggles of individuals

181
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.279
who grapple with their sense of self or purpose, a

182
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:58.960
theme that resonates deeply with the Gollum's origins. However, the

183
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.559
most intriguing application of the Gollum's story in contemporary discourse

184
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.759
lies in its exploration of the concept of artificial life.

185
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:13.519
When scientists and engineers develop robots or AI systems, they

186
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:18.319
draw parallels to the ancient tales of Gollum creation. Instead

187
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:23.200
of relying on magic, they harness technological advancements to bring

188
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:28.799
life to their creations. This process raises profound questions about

189
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:34.480
the potential consequences of our creations, echoing the Gollum's story

190
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:42.240
of unintended consequence. These stories and real world technological developments

191
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.920
serve as a kind of call to action, prompting us

192
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:50.759
to reflect on the responsibility we bear when creating anything,

193
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.559
whether it's a clay figure from an ancient tale or

194
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:59.279
a sophisticated computer system of today, the Gollumn reminds us

195
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:05.240
to consider whether our creations will be beneficial or potentially harmful,

196
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.720
urging us to exercise caution and ensure that they remain

197
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:15.599
under our control. What keeps the Gollum story so relevant

198
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:20.319
today is that it presents two distinct aspects of creating

199
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:25.079
something novel. It can be a force for protection and assistance,

200
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:29.960
yet there's always a risk that it might transform into

201
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:36.680
an unforeseen and uncontrollable entity. This concept embodies a delicate

202
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:42.200
balancing act as we embark on technological advancements or explore

203
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:48.000
novel concepts. We strive to accomplish positive outcomes while being

204
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:53.359
prepared for unexpected surprises and ensuring that our endeavors don't

205
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.960
veer off course. Whether we narrate stories, create movies, or

206
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.559
even develop ground breaking technologies, it's crucial to remember the

207
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:08.279
immense power we possess in shaping the world around us,

208
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:14.480
and the profound responsibility that accompanies it. As the Gollum

209
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:19.200
Story continues to be reinterpreted and presented in fresh new ways,

210
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:24.319
it serves as a constant reminder of these essential principles.

211
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.880
The myth of the Gollum, a clay creature imbued with prayer,

212
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.680
stands as a testament to the profound impact of faith,

213
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.880
the perils of unchecked power, and the enduring human quest

214
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:44.480
for protection against oppression. This narrative, both cautionary and deeply relatable,

215
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:50.640
explores themes of creation, safeguarding, and ultimately the difficult decisions

216
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:56.799
that accompany immense responsibility. So the next time you hear

217
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:01.519
a floorboard creak or the wind howl with an unsettling eeriness,

218
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:08.880
perhaps it's the Gollumn reminding us of the ancient era

219
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:13.359
when clay and faith united to protect a community and

220
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:18.680
dire need, and the unintended consequences of such an action.

221
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:25.319
Or perhaps that's too far fetched. Perhaps the Gollum is

222
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:28.960
simply the stuff of legend, the stuff of a long

223
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.640
time ago, of ancient mystic magic, that you have nothing

224
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:40.519
to fear. But perhaps that sound, that unexpected bump in

225
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:45.519
the night you're hearing as you lie cozy in your bed,

226
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:55.240
could be your Amazon echo listening, waiting, your cell phone

227
00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:01.119
series always listening. After all, the story of the Gollum

228
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:08.920
always leaves us with something to ponder. Terrifying and True

229
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:13.039
