    Thank you for this! It would be incredible if Robert created an extensive online course that we could purchase. Outside of studying Assyriology (which a lot of us can't do) there's not much for us out there- even finding good/reliable books is difficult. I'm sure Robert could provide lists for books and a wonderful curriculum. Please consider this, I am certain many Assyrians- especially the newer generation would purchase this, I know I would! 🙏🏼
