---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Peter Holmes <peterdholmes@xtra.co.nz>Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2024 at 10:10 AM Subject: Spy satellite images lead archaeologists to site of historic battle in Iraq To: NZAA eNews Editor < glaw@lawas.co.nz> Declassified 1970s-era US spy satellite imagery has led a British-Iraqi archaeological team to what they believe is the site of a seventh-century battle that became decisive in the spread of Islam throughout the region. The Battle of al-Qadisiyah was fought in Mesopotamia — in present-day Iraq — in the A.D. 630s between Arab Muslims and the army of the Sassanid Persian dynasty during a period of Muslim expansion. The Arab army prevailed and continued on its march into Persia, now Iran.

Originally dated from a single radiocarbon (14C) measurement rather approximately 288±62 BCE [2, 3], Katzev and Swiny's recent publication [1] reports on the ship's dating as of 2023.

New find at Karahan Tepe - a hoard of stone vessels and plates. The bowls are made of black colored chlorite stone and are fully decorated with geometry and animal patterns. Numerous fireplaces were found in a structure that probably was a public building complex.
11,000 years old Karahan Tepe is just 37 km away from Göbekli Tepe, Türkiye.

a pinch we may self-host longer documents to link in the eNews, but they must be
