U sklopu ovotjedne YouTube preporuke dijelimo dva recentna videa British Museuma – jednog boljeg od drugog. Oba su nastala prigodom još nekoliko dana aktualne izložbe (do 24. veljače 2019.) “I am Ashurbanipal: king of the world, king of Assyria” koja se od studenog prošle godine održava u British Museumu.
Dr. Irving Finkel (1951.), britanski filolog i asirolog uspješno brani sposobnost pretvorbe apsolutno zamornih djelatnosti kao što je proučavanje i podučavanje razvoja (klinastog) pisma, u nevjerojatno zanimljiv – gotovo kulturnozabavni diskurs. 26-minutni video “Irving Finkel teaches how to write cuneiform I Curator’s Corner Season 4 Episode 8” u kojem Irving Finkel uči Nicka kako klinastim pismom napisati “Ašurbanipal” ne samo da je humorom usporediv s visokobudžetnim sitcomima već zaista prenosi mnogo znanja o klinastom pismu.

Irving Finkel teaches how to write cuneiform I Curator's Corner Season 4 Episode 8
When presented with a meeting-free Friday afternoon we did what any normal person who has access to Irving Finkel would do - we asked him to teach us cuneiform. We're not really sure Nick learned anything, but hopefully you will.

Irving Finkel | The Ark Before Noah: A Great Adventure
Irving Finkel, Assistant Keeper I with responsibility for cuneiform in the Department of the Middle East, British Museum.
This talk, illustrated by a PowerPoint, will describe what befell the speaker after one quite remarkable cuneiform tablet was brought for examination to the British Museum in London. The inscription on this four-thousand-year-old tablet led to a series of altogether unexpected discoveries, demanding a whole new look at Noah and his Ark, and culminating in a book and a documentary film.

Deciphering the world's oldest rule book | Irving Finkel | Curator's Corner pilot
Irving Finkel has possibly the coolest job in the world – he’s curator of cuneiform at the British Museum!
Since 1979 he’s been trawling the Museum’s 130,000 clay tablets for clues about life in ancient Mesopotamia. In this film, he tells us about a particular tablet he found that contains the rules of a board game – a board game that he’s been obsessed with since childhood!
We’re getting ready to make our first YouTube series and we need your help!
We’ve made pilot episodes for four series that we want you to watch. Tell us which one you like by giving the video (or videos) a ‘Like’. The video with the most likes by 23 Dec 2015 will have a series made from January 2016.
This series is Curators' Corner.

Imajući na umu kako je prije nekoliko dana Hrvatski sabor 22. veljače proglasio Danom hrvatske glagoljice i glagoljaštva – gotovo da se ideja o snimanju sličnog filmića u hrvatskom kontekstu nameće sama od sebe. Sigurno na Institutu za hrvatski jezik i jezikoslovlje postoji domaći Finkel sposoban da učini nemoguće – podijeli uzbudljivu istraživačku narav proučavanja glagoljice i glagoljaške baštine.
U drugom videu “Assyria vs Elam: The battle of Til Tuba” kustos Gareth Brereton vodi gledatelja kroz reljef koji je ukrašavao asirsku kraljevsku palaču i filmsku priču koju prikazuje – uzurpaciju prijestolja, bitku između Elamita i Asiraca kod Til Tube, gomilu nasilja i Ašurbanipalovu političku propagandu.

Assyria vs Elam: The battle of Til Tuba
The battle of Til Tuba reliefs are among some of the great masterpieces of ancient Assyrian art. The movement and details are truly stunning. That said, the scenes actually being depicted are anything but easy on the eye.
Join curator Gareth Brereton as he walks you through the reliefs that once decorated the last great king of Assyria's royal palace.
WARNING: includes scenes of drowning, flaying and wearing your deceased leader's head as a necklace.
DOUBLE WARNING: includes scenes of extreme royal hat misplacement.

I am Ashurbanipal
King Ashurbanipal of Assyria was the most powerful man on earth during his reign in the 7th century BC.
For nearly 40 years he ruled the largest empire the world had seen, which stretched over 1,000 miles from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the mountains of western Iran.
This major exhibition tells the story of Ashurbanipal through the British Museum’s unparalleled collection of Assyrian treasures and rare loans. Step into Ashurbanipal’s world through displays that evoke the splendour of his palace, with its spectacular sculptures, sumptuous furnishings and exotic gardens. Marvel at the workings of Ashurbanipal’s great library, the first in the world to be created with the ambition of housing all knowledge under one roof. Come face to face with one of history’s greatest forgotten kings.
