Remarkable discovery of millennia-old building in Syria
By: Sultan Ahmed
DAMASCUS, Syria: Archaeologists have discovered an
11-millennium-old building on the banks of the Euphrates River
in northern Syria.
The head of the French archaeological team that made the find
said: "A remarkable discovery has just been uncovered of a
large circular building dating back to 8,800 BC near [the
locality of] Ja'de."
The building, much larger than normal houses, "had a
collective use, probably for all of the village or a group,"
Eric Coqueugniot said. "A part of this community building
takes the shape of the head of a bull and retains painted
decorations, the oldest known in the Middle East," he said.
"The multi-colored geometrical paintings" that decorate the
building would be displayed at the museum of Aleppo, in
northern Syria, he added.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
