Baffling 150km-long wall in Jordan is pre-Roman, say archaeologists The towers along the 'Khatt Shebib' don't seem to have served a military purpose: They may have been shelters from sandstorms. Story @ www.haaretz.com/jewish/archaeology/1.706066

The automatic regarding of documents with metallic ink will become much more difficult. This will probably mean a lot more research will be needed into the history of ink, pigments and dyes.

Urkesh was one of the main cities of the Hurrians (whom I consider one of the best bets to be a remnant of the ethnic Hyborians). The ruins are now menaced (like much in the Middle East) by the Islamic State: archive.archaeology.org/0807/abstracts/urkesh.html

Greek gibberish may be "Scythian": news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/09/140923-amazon-greek-vase-translations-science/I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around this. The Scythians were Indo-Europeans. That's nailed down pretty tight. While very cool, the Circassians are not Indo-Europeans. Perhaps it's analogous to the Cossack situation 2000yrs later, where the original Cossacks (on the whole) were Slavic Indo-Europeans, but then they later incorporated a lot of Circassians.
