Talk:Austen Henry Layard

message: The 1911 article states that Layard received the GCB in 1878 on the occasion of the Berlin Conference. This cannot be correct, as the Berlin Conference was in 1884. Other places mention him receiving it upon his retirement as ambassador in Constantinople, yet in the text of the Cyprus Convention he is listed with GCB in his title. Is there some source to find the correct info reagrding this?
:The Congress of Berlin was in 1878 as its function was to place the terms of the treaty of San-Stefano signed between the Ottoman Empire and Russia earlier that year before the great powers for renegotiation. According to the dictionary of national biography Layard got his GCB in June 1878 presumably due to his success in bringing the Ottoman Empire and Britain closer together.

::I see the problem. It was the Congress of Berlin, not the Berlin Conference. Looking at the Cyprus Convention, I noticed that Layard was not written with GCB on June 4, 1878, but he was on July 1, 1878. The Congress of Berlin began June 13, so that all seems consistent. --Mmm 08:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The British Museum does not mention Rassam as discoverer - this is only assumed.

message: Does anyone know of a clay tablet written around 700BC and contained celestial information from 3123 BC?  Supposedly, this also contains information about an 'impact' in the Swiss Alps about a town called Kfels in the Austrian Alps? Is this impact of sorts true and when did it happen?

::"The report he gave on his return proved to be controversial, generating negative responses in the Australian press"Sydney Morning Herald, 18 August 1858, Sydney Morning Herald, 5 September 1858
This wasn't found in the source - in fact it seemed to get a positive response eg see http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=layard+1858 - dates 17 Aug and 6 Aug.

It's not clear why the responses in an Australian newspaper where considered relavent here anyway, even if they existed in the first place.5.198.10.236 (talk) 17:01, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
