When looking at a mod described here at the Civilization Customization Wiki and here on the main forum of the subject : Civfanatics, I realized that this very popular mod (rated 5 stars on Steam Workshop, which is a rare feat amongst modded civilizations compared to the total number of civs made even by popular creators) adding Assyria by the female leader Sammuramat from renowned Brazilian mod creator TarcisioCM (or Bubblegum as they call themselves today) is lost. The only thing remaining of it being those articles, pictures and the music for it.
I tried looking into the Internet Archives, both for it (which you can see here web.archive.org/web/20171121235025/https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=635508373 ) and for the Steam Downloader direct download of it, but it's not possible to download it from the page itself and the sole capture of the direct downloader with this url doesn't work properly. There used to be a dropbox as a backsave but this one is no more there and has not been archived. The creator is private on Steam so no way to contact them from it unless I suppose you were friends with them, like a famous modder like JFD or Uighur_Ceasar would.
It is not just for my fun but also out of a desire for preservation that I try to save many of these (I've got past 1400 of these). Also, if anyone is looking for an unavailable map or civilisation I might just have it in my folder so feel free to ask me anytimes about it.
I sure hope such a popular mod is made available soon.
UPDATE : Nothing found in Civfanatics downloadable content either.

Does anyone here play Civilization 5? If so, you should check your MODS folder in the game files to see if you have it. WARNING : do not try to update a mod if it is no more on the Steam Workshop even if the game sees it as an update, doing so will just erase your civ with the expected updated version never to come. I lost many civs this way.
