Some objects are on view for the first time, among them clay tablets, drawings of zodiacs with planetary positions and a replica of the zodiac relief from Nemrut Dağ. Thematic sections follow how the zodiac and the horoscope began in Babylonia, spread across the ancient world, and fed both astrology and early astronomical calculation.

Adolf Erman and his team copied known Egyptian texts onto index cards, building an archive of more than a million cards from which the dictionary was compiled. After the First World War and inflation, a gift from John D. Rockefeller Jr. in 1924 paid for the printing. Material from the archive follows the path from ancient inscriptions to the finished volumes.

Papyri, coins and classical antiquities on the Dioscuri accompany it. The staircase hall once held casts of the Roman horse-tamer twins, destroyed in the Second World War. Curated by Philipp Bollmann.
