Its area was roughly 1.2 square kilometers, or 160 hectares, according to experts, and a 5 km wall was likely built around it.<\/p>\n<p>The earliest mention of Aleppo is from the Third Millennium BC (2,000\u20133000 BC), but it was known as Armi at the time. Armi was a city-state under the kingdom of Ebla, one of the earliest to possess great power and the third-most significant center of civilization after Mesopotamia and Egypt.<\/p>\n<h3>Inhabited since the Ice Age<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145483\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/uploads\/2023\/02\/dabbas-j0OhftYAXR4-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Alep\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/dabbas-j0OhftYAXR4-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/dabbas-j0OhftYAXR4-unsplash-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/dabbas-j0OhftYAXR4-unsplash-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/dabbas-j0OhftYAXR4-unsplash-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, it has been inhabited since the last Ice Age, which spans from 110,000 to 10,000 BC, and even before the Bronze Age. An archaeological dig was conducted 24 kilometers from Aleppo&#8217;s ancient city core. According to these digs, the city has been inhabited for roughly 13,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>This region of Syria is among the oldest places on Earth that have been continually inhabited for a longer period of time. The ancient metropolis is around 8,000 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was constructed around 2560 BC. Additionally, it is significantly older than the Pyramid of Djoser, the first pyramid ever constructed in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>So, by 10,560 BC, when the last Ice Age was starting to expire, this Syrian region was already populated and had an urban center.<\/p>\n<h3>Unknown Civilisation<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145489\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/uploads\/2023\/02\/essa-mhmad-_IzsIUGy4tQ-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"citadela\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/essa-mhmad-_IzsIUGy4tQ-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/essa-mhmad-_IzsIUGy4tQ-unsplash-280x420.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Since no documents from these towns have been discovered, its earliest name is unclear, but it first occurs on clay tablets from Sumer with cuneiform writing, which dates to around 5,000 years ago. The city is shown on the tablets as an economic and military powerhouse, indicating that it had a long history in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Since the new city was constructed on the ruins of the ancient town, it is unfortunate that the ancient city of Aleppo has not been well investigated. In addition, since 2011, it has been impacted by the Syrian civil war, with 30% of it destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>It should be remembered that the oldest temple in human history, G\u00f6bekli Tepe, which dates from the same period as ancient Aleppo, was built by a mysterious group of people 230 kilometers north of Aleppo, already in Turkey.<\/p>\n<h3>Gobekli Tepe<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145495\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/uploads\/2023\/02\/frank-samol-gslTbLa2FEA-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Gobekli Tepe\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are 20 stone circles and 200 massive pillars at G\u00f6bekli Tepe.
