Syria - Constant "Hot Spot"
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The modern state of Syria was not
established until 1946, after the Second World War,
but it is a land that has been inhabited since
ancient times. Archaeologists have unearthed
evidence of habitation dating back to about
5000B.C. and Damascus is probably the world's
oldest continuously inhabited city. In 1800B.C.
the Assyrian King, Shamshi-Adad I established his
capital at Shubat Enlil, known today as Tell
Leilan, in northeast Syria. Consequently, because
of its ancient role in the Arab world, Syria
maintains a definite power, more than its
geographic size would indicate, within the region.
