Ancient Village or Settlement in Syria
Tell overlooking the Kadesh Battlefield where Ramses II and the Hittites waged war about 1300 BCE.
Some Assyrian artefacts were found there, but excavation is limited on account of the grave of an Islamic saint as well as a Mosque being located on the man made hill.
