Irving Finkel is always great to listen to.

Still the best short intro into cuneiform writing I've ever seen; by Irving Finkel, curator for cuneiform at the British Museum.
Worth rewatching, as I just did 🙂

Gwen had died earlier that day.
Not spooky, but poignant.
Well, if you don’t know her work, check it out. (I’ve given ‘The Babylonians’ to so many people as a present that one will probably be working its way to you somehow.)
And if you never knew Gwen, but know someone else brilliant & sharp & warm?
Don’t forget to keep in touch.
