Talk:Karkemish

Actually, the article heading should be Karkemish rather than Carchemish, because that is a transcription from an ancient name written in cuneiform and other ancient Semitic sources, and the standard international transcription is with K and not with C any more. So, the old British Museum reports of course are titled "Carchemish", but the correct entry should now be Karkemish, in order to conform to standard international practice for this ancient toponym (cf. the new Turco-Italian Archaeological Expedition at Karkemish). Also David Hawkins in his authoritative Corpus of Hieroglyphic Luwian Inscriptions does not write Carchemish any more.
