Ugarit Excavations

The Ugarit excavations refer to archaeological digs at the ancient city of Ugarit, located in modern-day Syria. Originally rediscovered in the early 20th century, these excavations have uncovered a rich array of artifacts, including inscriptions, tablets, and buildings that date back to around 1400 BCE. Ugarit was an important port and cultural hub in the Late Bronze Age, providing valuable insights into early alphabetic writing, mythology, and trade. The findings have significantly contributed to our understanding of ancient Near Eastern history and the development of early civilizations.
