Talk:Nuzi

Untitled
This is like the Amarna letters only older, with 10 times as many tablets, and having a significant impact on knowledge of events mentioned by the bible. Its really quite an important discovery, and it would be really nice to have an article that is at least up to the same standard as Amarna letters. --User talk:FDuffy 22:13, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

plagerized content
This article is mostly copied directly from the Encyclopedia Britanica and http://www.allreaders.com/topics/info_9276.asp so if I decide to unstub it, I will most likely kick that material to the curb totally and write from scratch. Ploversegg (talk) 23:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC) ploversegg

Claimed Old Testament parallels
In the mid-20th century, some scholars (I think including Cyrus Gordon, though he may not have been the most influential) claimed that there were very highly-specific resemblances between the customs and laws of the Nuzi tablets and the Biblical narratives of the Patriarchal age (mainly in the book of Genesis). This idea seems to have somewhat lost favor in recent decades, but it's relevant to this article... AnonMoos (talk) 13:19, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Coordinates
I just found the place on Google Earth, with the help of maps in, p. 14, 37, 82. The coordinates you give are several miles away. Is there a reason for that, such as to protect the security of the place? If not, I'll gladly update the coordinates. Hieronymus Illinensis (talk) 06:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
