Through this selective forgetting and remembering they secured their own place in Mesopotamian history and shaped the legacy of Akkad to this day.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/berlin/events/dhc-lecture-mit-marian-feldman-monuments-architecture-and-th-94426/", "official_url": "https://www.geschkult.fu-berlin.de/termine/2026-11-17_DHCL-Feldman.html", "image": "https://noky.io/images/8140163b3b289c5f7c1cd3f160f8821719f47e087cca8de9a77c4121698e2820-600.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-17T18:15:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "FB Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften", "address": "Koserstraße 20, 14195 Berlin", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "BerGSAS-Talk with Marian Feldmann (Johns Hopkins University): \"Between Monuments and Memory in Ancient Mespotomia\"", "start": "2026-11-18T10:15:00+01:00", "end": "2026-11-18T11:45:00+01:00", "place": "FB Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften", "address": "Koserstraße 20, 14195 Berlin", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["history/antiquity"], "description": "An informal BerGSAS-Talk with Marian Feldman of Johns Hopkins University about monuments and memory in ancient Mesopotamia.
