| Technology has advanced so that archaeologists can

| whether these claims are true.

|

| German archaeologists have located the City of Uruk,

| and possibly even the tomb of Gilgamesh from ancient Sumeria.

| "He said the amazing discovery of the

| ancient city under the Iraqi desert

| had been made possible by modern

| technology. "By differences in magnetisation in

| the soil, you can look into the ground," Mr Fassbinder added.

| "The difference between mudbricks and sediments in the Euphrates

| river gives a very detailed structure."

| This creates a "magnetogram", which is then digitally mapped,

| effectively giving a town plan of Uruk."

|

| Co-operation between specialists (in philology,

| archaeology) from India, Pakistan and the rest of the world

| will help.
