Here is a first preview image of the visualisation of Piramesses, the capital city of Ramesses II. We are visualising a whole island full of houses, vegetation and at a later point also people. This is a very first draft and will change eventually, but you can have a first look. It only shows a […]

A new publication was sent to us, as they used one of our pictures. It is a compendium of the emergence of cities from the first houses up until now. Lötscher, Lienhard/Kühmichel, Kai (Eds.) 2016: Vom Haus zur Stadt. Stadtentwicklung sehen – erkennen – verstehen. Stadtzukünfte 9. Berlin.
We got published again, seems to be some kind of mesopotamian publication trend here in Germany.
We have been published again, this time also on the cover of the recent “Spektrum der Wissenschaft Spezial” about the emergence of cities. Today the deposit copies arrived and we are very proud.

Some folks over at Genial.ly turned one of our graphics, the childrens illustration of an excavation, into an interactive graphic, where you can click on the different people and get their job on the excavation. We are not sure whom to thank for that, but here it is:
As part of the Ancient Near East section at khanacademy.org, you can learn a lot about the Sumerian culture. One article is dedicated to the Anu Zuggurat and the White Temple in Uruk. We provided our reconstructions to illustrate that article and for everybody to understand better the complex architecture of that time. Take a […]
