…The oldest layer, Layer I, is dated to about 3500-2900 BC, and Layer VII to the 3rd-7th century BC. In the center of the tell is an acropolis about 170 meters in diameter, and Palace G, which belongs to Layer IIB1 (about 2400-2250 BC), was excavated there.

【シリア】より

…これはシリア史上まれにみる帝国であった。ここから出土した多数の粘土板文書(〈エブラ文書〉)は当時の歴史ばかりでなく,旧約聖書の族長伝説との関係でも議論を呼んでいる。前2000年ころから起こったアモリ人の定着運動は,第1にアレッポに強大な王国を成立させ,オロンテス川流域にアララクという都市を築いた。…
