Fair question. Roux started the process, but remember, those 40-foot soundings are typically only a few meters long and even fewer wide due to the sheer scale of the process. 99% of Ancient Mesopotamia is still buried deep beneath the sand. We simply have to make sense in the here and now with what little evidence we have, and try to use it to make the present a better place. My general take from the readings.
This was a great read. It makes me wonder if Roux's "foundation" will ever be remade. Or is every scholarly take further up the 40-foot dig?
