It appears that when the Oriental Institute recently changed its name (I know) their web site changeover broke some OI paper links. Some are ok, some are not. Oriental Institute Publication series appears to be all bad while Oriental Institute Communications work. I actually powered up and emailed them. Consider this a heads up about possible broken links and maybe having to do a ugly link fixing thing, hopefully not. Bonus - if you go to the new doc location [1] the download there just wedges.Ploversegg (talk) 17:59, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It amused me to refresh all the notable "lost cities" articles I could remember so I did Akkad, Akshak, Kesh, Ekallatum, Irisaĝrig, Kazallu, Diniktum, Hamazi, Lagaba, Rapiqum, Dūr-Abī-ešuḫ, Tummal, Larak, Opis, Šimānum, Garšana, Tikunani, and Washukanni. And Simurrum which I'm not 100% sure was a site vs area but since it was destroyed at least 9 times seems notable. And I might as well mention Karkar and Enegi which I didn't work on. I feel like I've forgotten a couple though so if this comes to you let me known or feel free. Thanks.Ploversegg (talk) 19:45, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
