Iraq's drought unveils 3,400-year-old palace of mysterious empire

It doesn't work like that actually. If we say that Vikings are Turkics, you would rightfully say it. Because %100 of historians would say they are not. In our case, according to researchs, some of the historians claim she was Turkic, others say Iranic due to some reasons. But no one can certainly say she was one of these two sides. This is what I mean "uncertanity". You have theories A and B. No once can %100 prove it's A. In some cases majority of international researchers and historians accept the theory X. Then it's accepted.

This case is not one of them. I hope I explained well what I am trying to say.

She was a queen of none Turkic people which were the Scythian so of course she was not Turkic. Just how genghiz khan was mongol and leader of the mongols we can’t say he was a Chinese.

The People of Mitanni

The Mitanni dynasty ruled over the northern Euphrates-Tigris region between c. 1475 BCE and c. 1275 BCE. While the Mitanni kings were Indo-Iranians, they used the language of the local people which was at that time a non Indo-Iranian language, Hurrian (and so the land is sometimes referred to in ancient records as the Land of the Hurrians). The historian Leick writes, "The population of Mitanni was predominantly Hurrian, but the ruling elites were Indo-European warriors who called themselves Mariannu and who worshipped deities with Vedic names such as Indar, Uruwana, and the collective Devas. This elite was to intermarry with the local population, as the names of their children testify" (120). The capital of Mitanni was Wassukanni, located on the headwaters of the River Habur, a tributary of the Euphrates.

Well christians think some powerful technology is buried in Iraqi/Syrian river in their prophecies

No they don't.

That’s what I thought first but isn’t that going to be found in the Euphrates ?



From what I recall only 1 out of 100 who go to retrieve the gold will survive and listening to a scholar (Allama Asrar Rashid,Bham), those who survive this and live to the time of Imam Mahdi Alahyis Salam will ask them for gold and will receive so much that they will want to return it but the Imam will refuse and then they will wish that if only we had not tried to retrieve the gold from the Euphrates because many of them will have injuries or will have lost someone close in this fitna. This indicates that the gold finding and the time of Imam Mahdi Alayhis Salam will be close

Actually that's Prophet Isa, and there will only be small number of believers in the Holy Land with the Prophet at that time. And it is some kind of currency and not gold. If it is even true.

So, it means that the mountain of gold is going to be discovered..

No doubt, as God foretold it. It should help boost the imaan of Muslims who are doubtful of Islam and/or God's existence these days.

And why should we not take it? What else is said?

Because a large number of groups will fight over this "gold" or "treasure" or "black gold" or whatever. And a lot of people will die trying to get it. Ultimately, this resource will be taken by Imam Mahdi. And Allah knows best.

Between, there is a large asteroid called Psyche 16 that is hurling towards earth. It is estimated that it has enough gold in it to make everyone in the planet by today's prices, a billionaire. Wonder where it will fall... hopefully somewhere near my home but not too close.

Nothing in Ahadeeth suggests that my friend. It is a sign before Mahdi takes allegiance at the Kaaba.

I believe it does my brother. But I will try to find the reference. I'm reciting from memory. And these hadith are not graded Sahih but are also not proved false.

Iraq's drought unveils 3,400-year-old palace of mysterious empire

Lewis Sanders IV

Receding waters in the Mosul Dam reservoir have unveiled "one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the region." Researchers said the Mittani Empire is one of the least understood ancient civilizations.

A team of German and Kurdish archaeologists have discovered a 3,400-year-old palace that belonged to the mysterious Mittani Empire, the University of Tübingen announced on Thursday.

The discovery was only made possible by a drought that significantly reduced water levels in the Mosul Dam reservoir.

"The find is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the region in recent decades and illustrates the success of the Kurdish-German cooperation," said Hasan Ahmed Qasim, a Kurdish archaeologist of the Duhok Directorate of Antiquites who worked on the site.

Shrouded in mystery

Last year, the team of archaeologists launched an emergency rescue evacuation of the ruins when receding waters revealed them on the ancient banks of the Tigris. The ruins are part of only a handful discovered from the Mittani Empire.

"The Mittani Empire is one of the least researched empires of the Ancient Near East," said archaeologist Ivana Puljiz of the University of Tübingen. "Even the capital of the Mittani Empire has not been identified."

Very little is known about the Mittani Empire

'Archaeological sensation'

The team had little time to spare as water levels continued to rise, eventually submerging the ruins again. At least 10 cuneiforms clay tablets were discovered inside the palace.

"We also found remains of wall paints in bright shades of red and blue," Puljiz said. "In the second millennium BCE, murals were probably a typical feature of palaces in the Ancient Near East, but we rarely find them preserved. Discovering wall paintings in Kemune is an archaeological sensation."

A team of researchers in Germany will now try to interpret the cuneiform tablets. They hope that the clay tablets will reveal more about the Mittani Empire, which once dominated life in parts of Syria and northern Mesopotamia.

Mittanis are not new to historical records

indeed, The Almighty Allah will never let his Beloved Prophet (S.A.W.W) words to be untrue.

Prophet (S.A.W.W) prohibit every muslim to not go anywhere near to that mountain of gold.

You talk like you were there. Why Muslims talk like this is beyond me, something is seriously wrong with our character and education.
