What are the names of the five people listed as having been killed?
One is well know, unsure about these other four.

True except in Persian.
Given it was introduced by Sumerians who were not Semitic, you get vowels. Adoption by the Semitic peoples preserved vowels.

Putting the concern of those who may misinterpret the changes above the goal of the truth, is also known as deception.
Encyclopedias stand the test of time with addendums, to facilitate corrections. Removing the transparency merely allows for cyclical references in the news.

It's really hard to not want to throw some Schadenfreude on those who pay mini-bar prices for technology.
Sadly I doubt this will be a last straw for most, given their investment in time standing in lines.

Just because the ship was discovered off the coast of Egypt does not mean it has anything to do with the culture and people of Modern day Egypt.

Given the long history of Akkadian and cuneiform usage by all of their neighbors, it's not as if they had to forsake writing. Just look at the ruins of Ebla for a comparison of civilization at that time.

Easy enough to identify that which the powers that be, deny a platform. The unaffiliated are generalized, and grouped together despite not being real bed fellows.
What modern labels did not exist for the entirety of human discourse? Yet our modern generation is the first to recognize some condition that eluded all those previous generations. Persecution unifies, and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. (e.g. the alienation of moderate Islam post 911)
