Enkidu! (Gilgamesh was one of the stories I studied when I took a Tolkein course in the seventies)...interesting to read "Uruk" as in "Uruk-hai"--must have provided Tolkein with some background color.

Coool.
Wonder just what they'll find when they fianlly DO start digging. Like any paintings on the floors or plaster still on the walls.
Wonder what pottery forms are there.

Uhhhh, Chinese writing has been discovered from about 7,000 years ago.
Unless I've forgotten simple math . . . 500 BC is more recent than 7,000 years ago.
