Back to School in Babylonia: The Aims of Babylonian Education

What was it like going to school in Babylonia? Who were the students? How did they learn to read and write cuneiform? In conjunction with our newest special exhibition Back to School in Babylonia, this lecture explores school life in ancient Babylonia around 1740 BCE using a school and its artifacts excavated by the Joint Expedition to Nippur of ISAC and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. While exploring the curriculum and topics of education. UChicago professor, Susanne Paulus, addresses the aims of Babylonian education more broadly, touching on topics like literacy, skill training, and the formation of a scribal elite.
