But that one didn't have the key words GGG added.

I looked for it, after someone mentioned the other article and didn't come up on GGG keyword search.

I addedd the GGG now.

The titles are totally different, so the search missed it.

Stone, bone and wooden tools have been unearthed, along with ceramic figures of people and animals.

Ceramic figures? WOW!

They can no longer wear the tag: Cradle of Civilization.

Who is the goofball who added "ancient astronauts" to the keywords?
How embarrassing...

I believe the "Fertice Crescent" in present-day Iraq would still be the "Cradle of Civilization;" however, this dramatically changes historical views of technological development and European migration.

It certainly does.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but, wasn't the first alphabet created in Mesopotamia, modern day Iraq?
