Talk:Assyriology

Wrong link
Hi, I want to point out that in section Assyriologists is a wrong link with Claus Wilcke. The link leads to the article Claus Wilcke. But that article deals with another Claus Wilcke, with the German actor Claus Wilcke. There should be a disambiguation. But here in this article the emeritus professor and former head of the Altorientalisches Institut of the Leipzig University Prof. Dr. Claus Wilcke is meant, see this page in German.

Decipherment of cuneiform
This section is a little confusing: we're told Niebuhr labeled "three trilingual inscriptions" from Persepolis as Class I, Class II, and Class III. In following paragraphs these are explained to be respectively Old Persian, Akkadian language and (unexplicitly) Sumerian language. The accounts I remember though speak of the Behistun Inscription as being crucial to Grotefend, the three languages being Old Persian, Elamite cuneiform, and Babylonian language. The Carsten Niebuhr article moreover says "He seems also to have visited the Behistun Inscription", though the latter article asserts that he published a transcription. Isn't there a main decipherment article somewhere? Sparafucil (talk) 04:13, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
