Some historians have linked Uratu with the Biblical Ararat, and that has led several teams to search for Noah’s ark there.
Jimmy Hoffa!
“Klaatu barada nikto”?

Send Geraldo. Get him to crawl into a jar and seal him in for another 2800 years.
I am counting the days until the new Container Store opens here. (Sept. 26, fyi). Everything in my house will be boxed in perfect plastic containers when the archaeologists discover it in 1,500 years.
It sucks all the air out of jars. Because I'm weird like that.
One day as I was walking past there, I got just a really creepy, skin-crawly feeling that sort of stuck with me the rest of the day. When the woman who ran the department there came in, I asked her (sort of half-seriously) "Any ghosts in this old building?" She spun around and asked, "Why? What did you see?" I told her what I had felt in the hallway. Her response kind of surprised me, because she was a sort of no nonsense type of person. She told me that the building didn't have any ghosts, but that they would get artifacts coming through there that seemed to have energy attached to it. "A lot of people died in really horrible ways over some of these artifacts. We had an exhibit in here last year and people and guests were seeing dark shadows all over the museum, along with accompanying creepy feelings. I was so glad when that exhibit left. I wouldn't stay in the office a minute after 5:00 when that was here."
I don’t know that I’d want someone digging me up and propping me up in some museum for people to gawk at and whatever #idiots to make jokes about. Tut had it right in putting a curse on tomb robbers but failed to make it last.
Naw, that's just too mamsy pamsy. Mine will say, "May you be cursed with ex-wives stalking your every move."
Thanks umgud. GGG, and it's one of *those* topics.

Thanks umgud.
In inscriptions of the Assyrian King Shalmaneser I (1280-1261 B.C.) we find the first occurrence of the term Uruatri... eight countries, collectively referred to as Uruatri, situated in a mountainous region to the southeast of Lake Van... the Assyrian name of Uruatri had no ethnic significance... (perhaps meaning 'the mountainous country')... In Assyrian inscriptions of the 11th century B.C., we again find the term Uruatri, and from the second quarter of the 9th century, in the reign of Ashurnasirpal II (883-859 B.C.), it is of common occurrence, in the form Urartu, being used concurrently with the name of Nairi... (Boris B. Piotrovsky, Urartu pp 43-45)
Judge Crater!
Who is it for?
Two of the Urartian gods holding an unknown object. The plates were decorations for other items and were found at Rusahinili, an ancient Urartian fortress in Turkey.
Winged deity, Nimrud:
Those are purses and they're Black Friday shoppers at Wal Mart.
At least they look scary enough to be.
It's interesting to speculate what would have happened had the Turks been denied Anatolia and, later, Byzantium?
