Join Jana Matuszak, an assistant professor of Sumerology at the University of Chicago, for an engaging lecture on the intriguing intersection between law and morality in Sumerian satirical tales. This thought-provoking lecture is part of the ISAC special exhibition, Back to School in Babylonia, which delves into various themes of ancient Mesopotamian culture. Ancient Iraq, renowned for its early development of casuistic law, notably showcased in the famous Laws of Hammurabi, also grappled with legal conundrums that were not addressed by royal legislation. Two Sumerian short stories, explored in this lecture, pose subversive questions and offer unexpected resolutions. This event promises to shed light on the complexities of legal systems in ancient societies and their connection to moral considerations. Taking place at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures' prestigious Breasted Hall in Chicago, this lecture is a must-attend for anyone interested in the fascinating history of law and morality in ancient civilizations. The event will be held on December 6, 2023, and admission is free. Don't miss this captivating opportunity to gain insights into the ancient Sumerian worldview.

Chicago&#39;s most worthwhile attractions&mdash;do your homework and you can spend a lot of time exploring. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, and some bronzes from the China Pavilion. This close encounter with art and history is incredibly satisfying and enriching.

It&#39;s worth visiting, but the price is a bit high, so it doesn&#39;t feel like great value for money. There&#39;s a slanted window inside that offers a downward view of the city, but that costs extra. Overall, it doesn&#39;t feel like good value for money.

小思文

The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.

Grant Park

Natural scenery

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.

I came to Field Museum in the year of 2021. At that time, COVID was still a big thing, however, I still want to visit. it was amazing to see such a beautiful museum.
