Located in northeastern Syria, Urkesh is one of the oldest cities in history dating back to at least 4000 BC. Its identification with the site of Tell Mozan is the most important achievement of the Tell Mozan / Ancient Urkesh Archaeological Project, to which we owe the discovery of cultural and historical elements that are fundamental to the understanding of Syro-Mesopotamia and, in particular, the Hurritish civilisation. The project is also a model of conservation and inclusion of the local population.
