Project Update: The Late Uruk Period Animation

One of our longer animation for the exhibition “Uruk – 5000 years megacity” was the one explaining the Late Uruk Period. We updated our project page of the Late Uruk Period and finally added the animation for you to watch. You’ll find it at the top here or at the bottom of the project page. […]

New (but old) project online: The Sin-kashid palace of Uruk

During the Uruk exhibition, that was displayed in Berlin and Herne during 2013 and 2014, we presented a detailed reconstruction of the Old-Babylonian palace of Sin-kashid. The nearly five minute long animation shows different parts of the palace and includes actual finds from the excavation. Uruk Visualisation Project: The Sin-kashid palace

New project online: Building H of Habuba Kabira

Not so long ago, we finished a small project that visualised a building in Habuba Kabira, dated into the Uruk Period. Finished is probably not the correct term, as this is only a preliminary result. The reconstruction of this building is based on the preliminary publications and the final publication is still not available. Nevertheless, […]

New project online: Architectural Layer 8 of Uruk

Recently, we finished a project that consists of three Middle-hall-type buildings, that were connected to each other and varying in size. Architectural Layer 8 of “Untersuchungsareal” 3 in Uruk revealed only these three buildings and some adjacent rooms. With some calculations, we reconstructed the height of the buildings and discovered, that the central building G […]

Mari: Visualisation of an excavation trench

We have been working on this project for a while now and finished it just recently.  Prof. Butterlin from the University of Paris commissioned us to recreate an excavation trench of Mari in 3D.  The site Tell Hariri, situated in modern Syria, is unreachable at the moment and the excavation team needed a tool to […]

New project online: The White Temple

After the exhibition “Uruk – 5000 years of the Megacity” has finally opened and is still running, we will – step by step – release some of the material that you can see in the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue. Today, we uploaded the project page of the White Temple. The inside view of the […]

Do you speak Turkish?

A while ago, we made a website on the prehistoric rock paintings of the Latmos Mountains in Western Turkey. The website was entirely in German and English. As the project is a German-Turkish cooperation, translating the website into Turkish was the right thing to do. With the help of Pınar Atılgan, we finally added the third […]

Virtual tour through the exhibition “The Tell Halaf Adventure”

In 2011, the very successful exhibition “The Tell Halaf Adventure” was displayed in the Pergamon-Museum, Berlin. The exhibition presented for the very first time reconstructed statues which were destroyed by the bombings of  World War II. 27.000 pieces were puzzled together over a period of 9 years and finally presented to the public. The exhibition […]

Visualisation of a silver atom

We are not only visualising archaeological content, we are interested in all kinds of science and this time we dove into the depths of physics and chemistry. Inspired by the first episode of Crash Course Chemistry by Hank Green, I visualised a simplified model of a silver atom. The theoretic model of this atom was […]

View the Stone-Cone building arise!

We updated the project page of the Stone-Cone building and added the final video. It shows the complete construction and reconstruction of the Stone-Cone building, from its complex foundation design to reflections about its inner installations. The video was made for a conference talk, so there is no sound, labels or explanations. Go and check it out!
