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.

Complementing the ongoing exhibition “ana ziqquratim” in Strasbourg, the exhibition catalogue is published, where I was able to contribute a small article about the White Temple of Uruk.

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 […]

In the current issue of the German magazine “Archäologie Weltweit”, one of our reconstructions of the Oxus Temple is featured! The project of the Oxus Temple is not online on our website yet, but we will change that soon. You can have a look at the magazine for free here.
