This has the potential to be a major find. Any library of texts is important.

Excavations led by a University of Toronto archaeologist at the site of a recently discovered temple in southeastern Turkey have uncovered a cache of cuneiform tablets dating back to the Iron Age period between 1200 and 600 BCE. Found in the temple's cella, or 'holy of holies', the tablets are part of a possible archive. The cella also contained gold, bronze and iron implements, libation vessels and ornately decorated ritual objects.

Let's hope it's not just ritualistic drivel, but instead a clear chronology and description of the Anunaki's exploits and era. We might find clues to Nubira's whereabouts! Wouldn't that be nice.

Or human entrails.

The meso- and south American indian civilisations kept that folklore up until only 500 years ago. So it wouldn't be surprising to find early Sumerians were doing the same 3,000/4,000 years BCE.
All three were strongly astrologically guided, astronomically aware cultures that shared a visiting-gods-mythology.
