@legalstyleblog @DrJamesHannam Hi there! Do check out our intro to Akkadian at oracc.org/saao/knpp/cune…

I'm obsessed with the question of how much ancient literature has survived to the present day. The answer isn't always what you'd expect: a case in point is Akkadian. (1/8)

@t_herrmi @DrJamesHannam 👋 We and @cdli_news like to think so too! You’ll find that between us way more than than 100,000 cuneiform tablets have been published online (transliterated, translated and lemmatised) in the past quarter-century! & there are other repositories too

@Apkallatu You are most welcome! Congratulations on the new release! 🥳🎉👏

Thanks to our graduate students past and present (full credits here: oracc.museum.upenn.edu/babcity/), and to the long-suffering ORACC team for their technical support and general awesomeness

We've just added a substantial number of Neo-Babylonian/Achaemenid documents to the BabCity corpus on ORACC - now 200 tablets and growing: oracc.museum.upenn.edu/babcity/pager @Oracctivity @opencuneiform

@cwjones89 @lrsiddall Deleted the tweet with the wrong url

@cwjones89 @lrsiddall Apologies! Some weird autocorrect has changed the url in that post: oracc.ub.uni-muenchen.de

Is the Oracc server for NB royal inscriptions down at the moment or is it just my computer/browser? @opencuneiform #cuneiform #cuneipeeps

@cwjones89 @lrsiddall Munich is fully functional; try reloading

@opencuneiform @lrsiddall Neither of them appear to be working at the moment!

@cwjones89 @lrsiddall We are in the process of setting up a new secure (https) server at Penn, which should solve these downtime issues — and provide a fantastic new search functionality too. ETA mid-January

Jobs alert! We are looking for a postdoc, a phd student and a research assistant to join me in UKSW in Warsaw researching Mesopotamian religion and sacred spaces. Application deadline 6 Nov for the postdoc and RA, 18 Nov for the phd scholarship.

We are excited to announce that the 68th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale will take place in Leiden from 17 to 20 July 2023! The theme of the conference is 'Inequality in the Ancient Near East'. #RAI68Leiden

@PavlaRosenstein @VarmanYash @cdli_news @Oracctivity For starters, you can teach yourself the basics of Akkadian and cuneiform at oracc.org/saao/cuneiform… if you like

@VarmanYash See the image for textbooks. Also text and background resources at: @cdli_news @Oracctivity @opencuneiform. Good luck! 🍀👍

Practicing my thumb impressions for when I leave my cylinder seal at home. Left side is the top of the thumbnail, right side is the edge of the thumbnail.

I'm absolutely THRILLED to announce that - thanks to the efforts of @may_alaseel and Azra Koçer - #Arabic and #Turkish translations of the #Sumerian literary debate 'Two Women B' are now available online @opencuneiform @Oracctivity 1/7 👇👇👇 oracc.museum.upenn.edu/dsst/Q000771

@Scaevola67 @cjcrisostomo @PavlaRosenstein Apologies! Looks like you have a lead now

@Scaevola67 @cjcrisostomo @PavlaRosenstein In a rather unlovely format, W.G. Lambert’s authoritative translation of the entire Enuma Elisš is at etana.org/node/581 You want tablets 6-7 of that

Delighted to announce that thanks to the efforts of @yennits my English translation of the #Sumerian debate with the wonderfully evocative title "Two Women B" is now fully lemmatized, making comparison of the Sumerian & English text easier than ever🧐 @opencuneiform @Oracctivity
