Ancient City Of Urkesh – Home Of Kumarbi – The Foremost Son Of Anu
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Tell Mozan, the site of the ancient city of Urkesh, holds a significant place in both historical records and myths. This ancient city, nestled in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains in Al-Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria, is a treasure trove of historical and archaeological wonders.
It was founded during the fourth millennium BC, possibly by the Hurrians, on a site that appears to have been inhabited previously for a few centuries.
The beginnings of Urkesh are shrouded in mystery, adding to its allure. While the exact origins remain unknown, it is established that Urkesh dates back to at least the early fourth millennium BC. It occupied a vast area, encompassing both the plains and mountainous hinterland in what are now parts of Syria, Iraq, and Turkey.
