Ruins Reborn: Exploring the Archaeology of Harran
On our third stop on our tour of the historical and archaeological sites of Turkey we visit the ancient ruins of Harran. With a history dating back several thousand years, this ancient archaeological site has seen the occupations of the Mesopotamians, Romans, and the last stand of the Assyrian Empire. It saw the construction of the first university during the Islamic Golden Age and a persistent culture around astrology from ancient moon cults to academic observatories.
Together we will navigate these ancient towers and gables to uncover the secrets of the ancient archaeological history of the city of Harran.
