Alalakh (English spelling)

Japanese: アララク(英語表記)Alalakh
Alalakh (English spelling)
An ancient city located in the Orontes River basin, between Antioch and Aleppo in northern Syria. Today, Tell Atchana, Turkey. It was surveyed by C. Woolley in 1936-49. Traces of habitation can be seen from the 4th millennium BC, but the city flourished most during the reign of Jari-rim (reigned c. 1780-50 BC), a contemporary of Hammurabi of Babylon. His walled palace is as magnificent as that of Zimri-rim of Mari (reigned c. 1779-61 BC). It was later conquered by the Hittite king Suppilulumash I (reigned c. 1375-35 BC), but continued to prosper as a commercial city with the seaport Al-Mina until its destruction by the invasion of the "Sea Peoples" in c. 1194 BC.
