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. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
