TABLETS DETAILING AN
ANCIENT EEMIAN
CIVILIZATION UNCOVERED IN
BRITISH MUSEUM
London-A record curator's discovery of a
clay fragment collection excavated by
Englishman Austen Henry Layard from a
19th century archaeological site near
Nineveh could be revealed to be the first
historical record of an advanced
Pleistocene culture that thrived near the
Caspian Sea.
Directors from the Board of Trustees were
notified after the curators of the Special
Middle Eastern Collections accidentally
uncovered some twenty four engraved stone
tablets that had been stored with several
hundred other records in special curation
vaults, awaiting linguistical and
archaeological analysis.
The tablets, identified as the Nurubi
Fragments, would shatter both established
religious and scientific communities over the
world if declared authentic and will be
presented by the highly respected British
Museum's Principal Curator in a closed
special engagement with the Council for
British Archaeology next year.
"We will need to
reevaluate our current
theories of human
civilization if the record's
origins are authenticated.
The exciting revelations
being translated from the
Nurubi Fragments
indicates we must propose
the evidence that an
advanced stone age
civilization arose in the
Caspian Sea region and
thrived before the Wurm
glaciation that destroyed
them beside the
Neandathrals"
- Sir Henry Kendrick, Senior Lecturer
The Kouyunjik Mound where the Nurubi Fragments, also
known as the Miracles of Izal or the Revelations of Izal,
were found. Dated from 130,000 BC, the tablets are
among the most fantastic finds in Assyrian archaeology.
The fragments are now under conservation in the
Special Middle Eastern Collections in the British Museum.
An Unknown Civilization
Professor H. Philip Stannard, Babylonian
Studies, of the Courtland Institute of
Prehistoric and Archaeological Studies has
reported the tablets point to an advanced
Caspian civilization in the region, and were
excavated from the mound of Kouyunjik
within the boundary limits of Mosul, Iraq.
"We discover the ancient Coreans created a
thriving megalithic civilization which lasted
for several thousand years. While hunter-
gatherer theories prevails , recent
translations of the fragmants have painted
scenes of an astounding culture of human
engineering works, even possibly a Bronze
historical period characterized by the use of
metals, proto-writing, and the early features
of a limited geographical urban civilization
that surrounded the Caspian Sea ," he
remarks.
"These tablets provide only a brief evidence
of the Corean's archeological heritage. There
may be likely large undiscovered ruins
indicated by the tablet maps, which show
walled kingdoms reaching as far west as
Turkey, Azerbaijan, to northern Iran and
southeast to Turkmenistan," says Professor
Stannard.
A Mesopotamian Connection?
Iranian Scholar Payam Milani of the Fasa
University believes the proto culture of the
ancient Corean nations may have influenced
the Mesopotamian cultures rise in the Middle
East.
The Ur Excavations in 1900. The Corean city states
would have been built in wood and stone as Ur's
ziggurats. The Eemian archaeology may not have
survived the crushing ice and floods that lasted millennia
before the Holocene.
"This theories most astonishing evidences
were unearthed by Austen Henry Layard in
1852 within the famous library of
Ashurbanipal 22,000 cuneiform clay tablets,
which was named after Ashurbanipal, the last
great king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
Layard's find was sent to the British Museum
where the tablets were discovered this year.
How could the Nurubi Fragments have been
written in the Semitic language of Akkadian
radiocarbon dated from 130,000 BC when
the language was invented in the 30th
century BC? And how could the Corean social
structures recorded be so similar? This is the
enigma, " says Mr. Malini.
"Some historians acknowledge these records
could have been passed down over those
vast time periods of prehistory after the
Corean collapse which arrived in the Middle
East some hundred thousand years later," he
adds.
Ruins in Armenia
This historic announcement coincides several
months after state archeologists from
Yerevan National University unearthed a
network of ancient monumental structures of
an unknown modern human culture near
Lake Seven, Gegharkunik Province, a
massive city-state that had once dominated
the Ararat plain.
Paleontologists find the Mousterian ruins,
ranging from 160,000 BP to 90,000 BP, a
baffling mystery. The city appears to have
thrived and then become abandoned after
dramatic climatic changes scoured the
archaic landscapes, making the population
unsustainable, say experts.
"Our findings here suggests an early genus
of humans could have existed along side the
extinct Neanderthal Man as local
anthropological records have indicated on the
Armenian Plateau. Evidence of prehistoric
hominids have been found in caves and
fortified structures here," stated Professor
Henrik Lewy, Chief Anthropologist of the
Yerevan National University.
The oldest known culture established here in
36,000 BP was the Upper Paleolithic
Baradostian, a flint driven, cave dwelling,
hunter gathering anthropoid industry that
gradually migrated into the Zarzian culture.
Mesopotamia then entered history from the
Early Bronze Age, for which reason it is often
dubbed the cradle of civilization.
