SUMMARY:An Ancient Dream\, An Epic Poem\, and Daring Searches by Intrepid Architects/Archaeologists\, Unearth an Architectural Treasure And Solve a Centuries-Old Mystery: a Lecture by Margery al Chalabi
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting lecture on architecture and archeology.\nThe story starts with a team of archaeologists from the British Museum returning to a site in Iraq eighty years after its initial excavation by the French. \nThose earlier excavations led – eventually – to astonishing finds in both palatial structures and a major library of the world’s first written language – Sumerian – on 100\,000 shards of clay. \nThis latter find precipitated a search for the region’s history and ancient structures – the latter\, a search for several temples called The Eninnu. \nThe search required the archaeologists learn to read a language that had been dead – or altered/modified by generations of conquests and world-wide population movements – over millennia. And\, as an unintended consequence\, discovered the world’s oldest\, most-known\, most-revered\, most-translated piece of literature – The Epic of Gilgamesh. \n5:00 pm – Bar opens; 6:30 pm – Dinner ($40); 7:30 pm – Program \nRSVP by June 5
