On October 25, 2022, the AMPS project celebrated its first seminar meeting this year, welcoming three new members that joined our team, and a guest scholar from Japan. One of the new postdoctoral researchers in the team, Dr. Yuval Levavi, presented a lecture on Babylonian Chronicles, followed by a lively discussion. The occasion began with a short introduction of the various team members and affiliated researchers (all together 15 members), accompanied by some refreshments and raising a toast for the new academic year.

The AMPS project seeks to study ritual and scholarship in Mesopotamia both by studying Sumerian and Akkadian texts, as well as by focusing our attention to other societies and regions for comparisons. In our tour to the Galilee we had a comparative look at various ritual issues, both contemporary and ancient.
