The finger-length cylinders were found at Tell Umm-el Marra, a former city located in today's northwestern Syria , once a bustling crossroads for two trade routes. Carbon dating techniques reveal that the objects date back 4,400 years to 2400 BC - preceding any other known alphabetic scripts by roughly 500 years.

Britain is in the grip of 'anticyclonic gloom' with the weather having been stuck in a rut of mist, fog and low cloud for weeks - and no sunshine on the horizon. Much of England and Wales has had no meaningful rainfall apart from some drizzle since October 28, although Scotland last saw downpours over the weekend. And the last day with widespread sunshine across the UK was October 27, although a few weather stations recorded several hours of brightness on Halloween. The country's weather is being dominated by high pressure, or an anticyclone, which has been blocking fronts bringing rain and resulting in an extended dry spell. While such a setup often leads to warm and sunny days with light winds in the summer months, they can result in 'anticyclonic gloom' in autumn and winter. The Met Office has confirmed Britain is under such a phenomenon this week, with the high pressure trapping an area of moisture near the earth's surface. Low cloud, mist and fog are then formed by this moisture, which cannot lift and clear because the sunshine and the winds are light - giving the dull conditions.
