Marshland of Cities: Lagash and its Neighbors ca. 2500 BCE
Howard C. and Elizabeth Watts Petersen Annual Lecture
The earliest cities in the world arose in a dynamic wetland environment at the intersection of the Tigris-Euphrates delta and the shore of the Persian Gulf during the 4th- and 3rd-millennia BCE. Recent work at the site of Lagash, led by the Penn Museum, in collaboration with the University of Pisa and Cambridge University, focuses on reconstructing the ancient environment of southern Iraq through remote sensing, geological coring, and excavation. This illustrated lecture will bring this formative chapter of human history to life through an overview of this work to date, including geological, ethnographic, and archaeological evidence.

    Just another person trying to draw attention to themselves. The statement “my body is a monument” is just the most self centred statement you could make. It’s also amazing that these people are crying about “confederate monuments” being built. The only reason people have called for this was in response to middle class left wing activists (like this lady) taking down confederate monuments all across the country WITHOUT public consultation (talking about consent) because they represented the confederacy. Millions of men died in the Secession war and taking these monuments down WITHOUT consultation is disrespectful. Again, it is done by middle class kids (like this lady) who have accomplished nothing and believe they deserve attention. So they do it with emphatic speech like this one about their body being “a monument”. A monument to what? Stupidity? That is laughable.

    The knowledge that they'd be preserved if situated a certain way indicates a belief that their body had great importance. Perhaps a belief in resurrection.

    Twice the speaker relates 14,000 year old Gobekli Tepe. with the bible, and twice he admits they are not associated. Why? Adam and Eve are a myth, some say a legend, dated to about 6000 BCE. The biblical flood was later, but many biblical stories tend to be preceded by an earlier variation, as we find in the stories of Gilgamesh. Teach the know facts and avoid cluttering the lesson with distractions.

    I really like being able to see the artifacts - in pictures if not in display - but I agree they are as much tomb robbers as the others except the world profits from the archeologists’ work rather than just a few. I like that the Egyptian trend is to leave the mummies where they are found with efforts at security.
