See 9 May2013 post: http://vediccafe.blogspot.in/2013/05/ancient-central-asia-ramayana-connection.html The caption reads: "The rock relief is located on the cliff of mountain Darbadi Beula in the Zagos, Sulaimaniya, on the Iran-Iraq border."

It will be rash to jump to conclusions. A lot of questions in archaeological context of recovery, provenience information remain unanswered.
What is the location of this rock-cut frieze and cuneiform inscription? Has any archaeologist of the region visited the site and evaluated the locus and also the probable date of the inscription, images carved?
Yes, Dilmunites had contacts with Sarasvati-Sindhu civilization evidenced by thousands of so-called Dilmun or Persian Gulf seals carrying Indus Script hieroglyphs, and 'inscriptions'. The contact area signified by sites of Susa, Shahdad, Tepe Yahya, Failaka west of Mohenjo-daro and along the Persian Gulf does contain names such as Assur (pronounced Ashur) and there are also inscriptional evidences from Bogazkhoy (further north) of Proto-Indo-Aryan divinities like Mitra, Varuna invoked. This phase of civilizational contacts have yet to be fully narrated with falsifiable evidences.
If the Cuneiform inscription is dated together with the accompanying person carrying a dhanus and an adorant (like Hanuman) at his feet, the key is to read the inscription in an attested language. We DO NOT KNOW what the language is and what the transcription of the inscription 'reads'. This has to be commented upon by Assyriologists and Cuneiform epigraphists.
In sum, critical evaluation of ancient texts and objective discussions are in order, without citing pseudo-historians like Romila Thapar or Cambridge History tomes.
We should deploy the procedures laid down on Tantra-yukti research methodologies in Indian tradition of scholarship which were followed by Panini and Caraka.

6000 year old Lord Rama and Hanuman carvings in Silemania, Iraq
AN ANCIENT RAM-CHAPEL IN SUMER
One of the major triumphs of modern archaeology was the hair-raising discoveries of Sir Leonard Woolley at Ur. Amidst the ruins of Ur, he unearthed a Ram-chapel but totally missed its relevance in world history. This crucial finding not only bridges the wide gaps between Indian tradition and archaeology but also unfolds the historic bonds that once united ancient India, Iran and Sumer. Ram-Sin of (Larsa) to whose memory this chapel was dedicated must have been Rama of Valmiki. The name Ararama of Larsa may be an echo of Rama. This Ram-Chapel of Ur is the earliest known memorial to the great Rama and may have been erected by Dilmun merchants who resided nearby. Dilmun was always mentioned in the Sumerian texts together with Magan and Melukkha and it is possible that these three states were somehow allied to each other.
RAMA, BHARATA & LAKSHMANA IN SUMER
The Cambridge Ancient History[xvi][iii] which is usually not considered as a sourcebook for Indian history by writers like Romila Thapar contains priceless information relevant to Indian ancient history. In the highly authentic Sumerian king list appears such hallowed names as Bharat (Warad) Sin and Ram Sin. As Sin was the Moon god Chandra Ram Sin can be seen to be same as Rama Chandra. Bharat Sin ruled for 12 years (1834-1822 BC), exactly as stated in the Dasaratha Jataka. The Jataka statement, “Years sixty times hundred, and ten thousand more, all told, / Reigned strong-armed Rama”, only means that Rama reigned for sixty years which agrees exactly with the data of Assyriologists. Ram Sin was the longest reigning monarch of Mesopotamia who ruled for 60 years. The mention of the father in the inscriptions of both Warad Sin and Ram Sin is noteworthy and may point to a palace intrigue. Joan Oates is not aware of the Ramayana but writes with great insight (p. 61) that Warad sin was manoeuvred to the throne by his father. In Mesopotamia, a prince normally became king only after the death of his father. Lakshmana, mentioned the Bible as Lakhamar, ruled as a great king.

Proof of Ram Rajya: 6000 year old Lord Rama and Hanuman carvings in Silemania, Iraq
History seems to be unveiling itself in a very mysterious way. Upon observation on the series of events that has happened over a year and half we could see the resurgence of Dharma and the followers of Dharma are getting a sense of re-connection with their culture, tradition, philosophy and the beliefs that they have believed on for over 1000’s of years.
The faith of Hindus in their culture, tradition and philosophy has been so strong that wherever a Hindu ideology persists that environment has been peaceful, prosperous and happy, and that is why we have noticed that many rulers who came to conquer this great Hindu civilization in the end became a part of it; so be it Jews, Persians, Europeans or the Mohammedans. This belief is driven by philosophy of acceptance and co-existence to attain the highest goal.
One key feature of Hindu civilization has been the belief of RAM RAJYA, which means a kingdom ruled by Lord Ram, a man of highest ideal with utmost love and compassion for his people and strongly abiding by the values of righteousness. Its an ideal stage of human existence where people live in harmony, respect and compassionate towards each other strongly guided by values of righteousness.
Owing to this fact Lord Ram’s life has set an exemplifying standards for Hindus to live their life with righteousness guiding every actions of Hindus. It is also believed that Earth was always ruled by two forces Dharmic and Adharmic forces and when we look into our own life, we understand that we are also guided by two forces, path of righteousness and deceitfulness.
It is believed that RAM RAJYA, highest form of good governance of Ram almost engulfed across the world where every man respected each other for what they were. This idyllic living continued for a very long time where humanity was at its highest form touching the summit, and then gradually like any cycle of change sees downfall, humanity also lost that sweet spot and saw the rise of Adharmic (evil) forces where life was filled with lie, cheat, deceits and clashes.
Ram Rajya had its reach through out the entire world centering from India. The recent discovery of Sir Leonard Woolley at Ur. Amidst the ruins of Ur, unearthed a Ram-chapel that totally missed its relevance in world history. This crucial finding not only bridges the wide gaps between Indian tradition and archaeology but also unfolds the historic bonds that once united ancient India, Iran and Sumer. Ram-Sin of (Larsa) to whose memory this chapel was dedicated must have been Rama of Valmiki. The name Ararama of Larsa may be an echo of Rama. This Ram-Chapel of Ur is the earliest known memorial to the great Rama and may have been erected by Dilmun merchants who resided nearby. Dilmun was always mentioned in the Sumerian texts together with Magan and Melukkha and it is possible that these three states were somehow allied to each other.
Do share your feedback and stories and we would so that we could reach out to people with similar revelations.

Geological events related ice age that happened 15000 years ago, are described in Rigveda. While the British researchers have hard time assigning 800BC as the time when Rigveda was written.
Bottom line is just keep an open mind. Don’t have to surrender to everything said by some old white “so called” scholars. Use your own judgment.
