New (Ancient) Civilization In Central Asia

jeffsenter writes: "The NYTimes has an interesting story on a new major ancient cover unearthed in Central Asia. The civilization existed for about 500 years over 4000 years ago and was independent of other roughly competorary civilizations in China, the Indus Valley, and Mesopotamia. The civilization also had at least begun to develop its own unique writing system. The end of the Cold War and new relations between Russian and American scientists made the discoveries possible."

Wow they found my civilization...

I had just finished learning "alphabet, pottery, writing, masonry" when the Russians wiped my civ off the map. Quickest game ever.

I hadn't even finished building city walls...
