The only new-ish info is that the seem to have found some monument that stood there, or close to it. Modern journalism, more like.
This reminds me of a story a British newspaper ran a few years ago on Valentine's Day. It claimed that historians had found 'New' evidence that Cleopatra wasn't the stunning beauty that everybody thought she may have been. As proof they showed some coins showing Cleopatra's profile (including her big nose) and said that these coins had only recently been discovered, even though they'd been in museums for a long time.
