It is with great sadness that we inform that our colleague and dear friend, Frederick Mario Fales, assyriologist and professor of History of the Ancient Near East at @uniud, died April 15, 2024 in Rome. Mario has been the teacher of many of us and our epigraphist. 1/3

Very saddened to learn of the passing of Mario Fales this morning. He was an expert of Assyria and the Assyrian Empire, and his work on ancient identity was pioneering. He was a kind, joyful, and inspiring scholar who will be missed. imagazine.it/home_desk/addi…

The painful part of the story is that you see natural #heritage features that have been standing for millennia in #Mesopotamia and are now dramatically #vanishing: the marshes, the water springs and the rivers. Why and why is it happening now?
I will talk in this crucial workshop

The earliest historical documents from Anatolia were recorded on clay in a dialect of Akkadian known as Old Assyrian by Assyrian merchants trading in Anatolia in the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2000–1750 BCE).
