Demo conferences: based on interaction, the experiment combines manipulations made with the public and explanations of researchers Cuneiform writing is the first writing invented in the history of humanity. Come and discover this writing and the Mesopotamian civilization by participating in the school of scribes, inspired by that of Babylon 4000 years ago. You will be asked to write small cuneiform texts in fresh clay and to calculate as the Babylonians in base 60. By Cécile Michel, Assyriologue at the CNRS
