Several thoughts here:

1. Clearly, this merits a lot more research. There must be no delay in digging up every square inch of Syria, and I think we should extend that to the Bekaa Valley. Upside down and inside out. Important for the advancement of knowledge, don’t you know.

2. Since these people are extinct, we can tell ethnic jokes about them. Did you hear the one about the two Hurrian guys in the elevator?

3. I’m not sure I’d tell people I was an Assyriologist.

Perhaps they would find signs of ancient Hurranian WMDs.

Ok, so an Ammorite, a Kassite and a Hurrian walk into a bar
