Anyone heard about the "new" script that is complicating the story about the earliest language?

I just read the free part of this article on the proto Elam language.  Made me wonder how teachers are using discoveries that change the way we understand the past.  Tell me your stories and OER at what point do you consider incorporating a discovery into the story you tell?

    New discoveries (and the spread of knowledge about them!) was always one of my favorite ways to highlight to students how history changes. They often start a course with me under the impression that history and the past are the same thing or that history is a settled thing. The idea that we used to think x until we found new evidence often seems abstract to the kids, so bringing contemporary examples into the conversation helps.
