Travel Guide Ebla - Tell Mardikh

A particularly important historic site, Ebla was discovered only in 1964 by a mission from the University of Rome led by Paolo Matthiae.It was still a long time since the excavations of the Royal Archives were carried out after eleven years of excavations.A formidable treasure that would undermine the well-entrenched idea that outside Mesopotamia there was no serious history of the third and end of the second millennium in Syria. It was discovered, far from the Euphrates, a brilliant civilization that possessed its language (named éblaïte) and maintained trade relations with neighboring empires.Emotion was so strong in historians and archaeologists that rumours arose around the world to warn against any possible falsification. The establishment of an International Committee for the Study of Ebla Texts has eliminated all doubts.To learn more about Ebla, a very interesting book is available on the website itself: Tell Mardik, Ebla, Fajr Haj Muhammad.
