Expanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers.

How can we engage with the evidence regarding the early history of interconnectedness in the world?No publisherETAW2024/02/05 17:49:31 GMT-4EventJonathan Valk

https://isaw.nyu.edu/events/politics-of-flood
This lecture will take place in person at ISAW. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. New research in southern Iraq at the ancient city of Lagash, modern Tell al-Hiba, indicates that systemic flooding contributed to the site's demise at the end of Sumer's Early Dynastic period, circa 2,350 BCE. We know from contemporary sources that the "Lagash-Umma Border Conflict," comprising the earliest record in both text and image of organized violence, involved a territorial dispute between the rival city-states of Lagash and Umma over water in the Gu'edena, the ecologically rich "edge" of the Lower Mesopotamian floodplain.No publisher2024/01/24 17:30:57 GMT-4EventNew Discoveries at Lyktos:

Expanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers. Ancient Trimithis was one of many medium-sized cities in the Roman Empire; but unlike most, it was located right in the middle of Egypt’s inhospitable Western Desert, hundreds of kilometers from the Nile Valley, one of the driest places on earth. In this workshop we will explore how people adapted to and thrived in this harsh and changing environment by studying the results from NYU’s Amheida Excavations in Egypt’s Dakhla Oasis.No publisherETAW2024/01/11 14:56:47 GMT-4EventExpanding the Ancient World Workshop
