What happened in April at Esagil Games?
All around the Cambridge Festival and "Living or not living in a Sumerian city!"
We had great questions and debates with all participants during online workshops, stretching from Sumerian diet and commuting to cities as "safety net" and even land management to avoid desertification!
Four videos are available if you would like to know more about what it was all about!
