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.

Dr. Irving Finkel is the Assistant Keeper of the Department of the Middle East at the British Museum in London. He is an Assyriologist and philologist specializing in cuneiform writing and the cultures of ancient Mesopotamia.
