If you were a Roman merchant living in Anatolia during the Roman Empire, what would you experience in one day at the bazaar? Or if you were an Assyrian merchant in the early 2nd millennium BC, how would your first night in the inn go after the long and tiring journey from Mesopotamia to Anatolia? How would you defend yourself if you were on trial for tax evasion in Hittite courts during the Late Bronze Age?
Uncovering the past is amusing, although it is no easy task. In this workshop, participants will write short stories based on the Art of Weights and Measures exhibition, and while doing so, they will use their imaginations to reach out to the past. Then they will share these stories and their dreams about history with each other.
