Talk:Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East

Big mess
One sentence reads "excavations at Nuzi and Tell el-Khaleifeh in the Sinai, where the earliest alphabet was found." Very messy and confusing:


 * 1) Nuzi (at least the one wikilinked) is in Mesopotamia, nowhere close to the Sinai.
 * 2) Tell el-Khaleifeh = Tell el-Kheleifeh? If yes, please add the wikilink.
 * 3) Tell el-Kheleifeh isn't in the Sinai Peninsula either, but at the southern end of the Arabah. Close, but not quite there. If that's what is meant, please amend.
 * 4) Neither Nuzi, nor Tell el-Kheleifeh have anything to do with the earliest alphabet. Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai and Wadi el-Hol in continental Egypt do. Just one big confusion? Or did someone remove Serabit from the list, and Sinai is an orphaned half-info making no sense anymore? Was Serabit excavated by Harvard? Less likely, but maybe Wadi el-Hol was?
