Ancient Assyrian Tomb with 10 Skeletons Discovered in Iraq

Its so cool to read the memoirs of those times, when everything was still uncertain. I remember reading a really old Sumerian grammar, from the 1890s I think, and it had in it a story about how the Akkadians were the original cuneiform writers before the hostile Sumerians came and invaded their land and took their writing system One day when I have too much time on my hands I want to brush up on my French as there are these two massive volumes on the cuneiform decipherment process describing every small step of progress they made. From what I've been told the biggest breakthroughs came from Hincks, the eccentric Irish clergyman.
