Have you ever wondered why there are 60 seconds in a minute or 360 degrees in a circle? This is based on Babylonian mathematics written in Akkadian and Sumerian languages in cuneiform on clay tablets! The durable clay tablets are like a time travel machine, throwing the reader back thousands of years and allowing them to witness the curiosity and efforts of someone who lived many years ago. In the workshop, children traveling back in time are inspired by the replica clay tablet found in Kültepe at the exhibition titled The Art of Weights and Measures and write on clay tablets in cuneiform script.

Capacity: 10 people
Süre: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop:250 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
