thread_title:  Reference 

message: It is stated twice in the article that the original location of Charax was in present day Kuwait. This is based on a single sentence in the three volume work by John Pairman Brown: "The city Charax was originally, before silting from the two great rivers stranded it inland, on the coast of the Persian Gulf NE of what is now Kuwait.". This sentence doesn't say that the city was located within the current territory of Kuwait, neither does it say that the city has moved from one locality to another. What it does say and/or imply is that silt carried downstream by the rivers accumulated at the coast, causing the coastline to gradually move southwards and causing the city to be no longer located on the coast, i.e. it was "stranded" inland. The specific location of the remains of Charax is at Naysān (Iraq) in Southern Iraq, to the north of Basrah. So, I'm going to remove the references to Kuwait.

message: Naysān (Iraq) and this page are obviously about exactly the same site. Since this page seems to be the more mature page, I would suggest moving Naysān (Iraq) into this one. Best, --Zoeperkoe (talk) 11:28, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

message: As of 2018, we have a tell in southern Iraq called Naysan and we also have a City discussed from antiquity called many things but I will refer to it as Charax Spasinu. 
While the ruins at the site of Naysan does exhibit almost all of the attributes of the ancient city including  a similar shape and location, the two items at the moment have not conclusively been established as the same thing, and they remain I believe two different things, one an entity in the written history of the area and the other a mound of dirt with archaeology.
I suggest they should remain separate articles.
