Syria is the cradle of more than 30 different civilizations. It has more than 2000 historical sites. We can find the traces left by the pre-historic man, especially near the rivers. Because of its geographical situation between three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe, Syria suffered from many invasions and occupations. We can mention some of the civilizations that were in Syria: Acadian, Amorite, Babylonian, Assyrian and Islam… Since the first days of mankind, many kingdoms flourished in Syria: Ebla, Mari, Ugarit, Palmyra, Aleppo, Damascus…..

Aleppo plays a vital role in the history of the area since the time of the Akkadians and the Amorites.
