Ancient Iraq - 3,300 Year Old City Discovered

Ancient Iraqis: 3,300 year old city found under a mound in Kurdistan | Al Bawaba:
"The earliest remains date back to Neolithic times, when farming first appeared in the Middle East, and a modern-day village called Satu Qala now lies on top of the tell.
The city thrived between 3,300 and 2,900 years ago, Cinzia Pappi, an archaeologist at the Universitt Leipzig in Germany, said.
The researchers were able to determine the site's ancient name when, during a survey of the area in 2008, a villager brought them an inscription with the city's ancient name engraved on it."
