Terqa

Terqa is an ancient archaeological site located in modern-day Syria, once a thriving city in Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE. It was an important cultural and economic hub along the Euphrates River, serving as a center for trade, governance, and religious activities. Excavations reveal well-preserved structures, artifacts, and inscriptions that provide insights into early urban development, social organization, and regional history. Terqa's strategic location and long history make it valuable for understanding the complexities of early Mesopotamian civilization and its influence on subsequent cultures.
