What Was Life Like in Ancient Mesopotamia?

In this video I team up with none other than my favorite Near East archaeologist and Bagdad Battery skeptic: Dr. Brad Hafford. Career archaeologist and fellow YouTube teacher (@artifactuallyspeaking) Dr. Hafford takes us on a tour through the collections of the Penn Museum in Philadelphia. We will see ancient pottery, mysterious incantation bowls inscribed with long forgotten curses and the spectacular golden artifacts of royalty. Join us as we walk the galleries of this premier institution and learn first hand from experts the stories it has to tell.

Come check out the Penn Museum for yourself!
