The article as I found it was a summary of the press release issued by the archaeologists with no citations. I cited the ynet.com article that the teams' claims were published in. I sourced a skeptical opinion. I have yet to see peer-reviewed publications on the study or any claim of widespread acceptance.Cobalt blur (talk)18:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I re-wrote for tone and added sources, links, and citations, and financial disclosures. Described reception of claims and post-2020 international and Russian situation.Cobalt blur (talk)20:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
