Returning the Benin Bronzes Cambridge University 2023-02-08 | In 1897, during the violent sacking of Benin City by British armed forces, thousands of artefacts were removed and subsequently sold in London. 116 objects, known as Benin Bronzes, eventually entered the collection of the University of Cambridge’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA). The University is now in the process of arranging for the return of these objects to Nigeria. In December 2022, the UK’s Charity Commission granted consent for the University to proceed. In this film, shot at The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the museum’s Director, Professor Nicholas Thomas, and its Senior Curator in Anthropology, Dr Mark Elliott, explain how the Benin Bronzes entered the collection, why the University is now returning them, and how this process has developed. They also pay tribute to exceptional artistic and cultural significance of the Benin Bronzes themselves. The film includes footage of a number of the Benin Bronzes in question on display in the museum.Read the full story here: www.cam.ac.uk/stories/beninreturn

Students in their third year or fourth year of study on a research doctorate who are self-funding can access that resource in addition to the hardship funds.Sometimes we recognise that students may not necessarily know how much they need over the course of a full year so we're also providing an opportunity this year for students to re-apply. A first application, you can receive up to £2,000. If you make a second application in the subsequent term, that will be for a maximum of £1,500 worth of assistance.

Ancient grammatical puzzle solved after 2,500 years Cambridge University 2022-12-15 | Learn more about the story here: bit.ly/SanskritGrammarPuzzleYTA grammatical problem which has defeated Sanskrit scholars since the 5th Century BC has finally been solved by an Indian PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Dr Rishi Rajpopat made the breakthrough by decoding a rule taught by “the father of linguistics” Pāṇini.The discovery makes it possible to 'derive' any Sanskrit word – to construct millions of grammatically correct words including ‘mantra’ and ‘guru’ – using Pāṇini’s revered ‘language machine’ which is widely considered to be one of the great intellectual achievements in history.Leading Sanskrit experts have described Rajpopat’s discovery as ‘revolutionary’ and it could now mean that Pāṇini’s grammar can be taught to computers for the first time.

Cambridge University Library Podcast: The Mystery of Darwins Stolen Notebooks Cambridge University 2022-11-21 | Darwin’s tiny, priceless Tree of Life sketch is arguably the most iconic drawing in the history of science. It is now on display at the @CamUniLib “The Tree of Life notebooks are Darwin at his most radical,” says Professor Jim Secord, a world expert on the subject. “The theory of natural selection and evolution is the foundation stone of modern biology and much of the rest of the sciences.”However, the notebooks were stolen in the early 2000s and were missing for two decades before their anonymous return in a pink gift bag on March 9, 2022 – alongside a very odd note!Despite an investigation that involved the Met Police, Interpol and a global public appeal, we still don’t know who took Darwin’s notebooks or why.But why would someone steal them in the first place? What makes Darwin’s Tree of Life notebooks so important that someone saw fit to spirit them away from Cambridge University Library then return them again – 20 years later.In this first podcast from one of the world’s great libraries, you’ll find out about the notebooks’ great importance, the endlessly curious life and letters of Charles Darwin, and the end of a nearly 50-year mega project to transcribe and publish 15,000 letters to and from Darwin – making them freely available to us all.00:00 – Intro01:50 – The mystery begins03:44 – An appeal is launched05:12 – The notebooks return08:34 – Darwin at his most radical11:45 – The Tree of Life sketch and Darwin’s theories14:17 – What is The Darwin Correspondence Project?15:34 – The correspondents16:38 – Darwin the man20:26 – It’s not just letters23:33 – How do you transcribe 15,000 letters?26:10 – Presenting his theories27:55 – The end of the project and Darwin’s legacy

Why are rhino horns getting smaller? Cambridge University 2022-11-01 | University of Cambridge researchers measured the horns of 80 rhinos, photographed in profile view between 1886 and 2018. Horn length was found to have decreased significantly in all species over the last century.
