Aslantepe Ruins

Aslantepe Ruins Between the years 2,700 and 2,500 BC, the city developed a unique cultural structure by breaking away from the Syrian-Mesopotamian culture.

Since 2000 BC, the city came under the influence of the expanding Hittite Empire. It was used as a base in the expedition of the Hittite King Suppiluliuma I to Washukanni, the capital of Mittani. Kammanu, one of the Late Hittite kingdoms established after the collapse of the Hittite Empire, became its capital. In these dates, the name of the city is mentioned as Melid in Assyrian documents. The kingdom that took the city as its capital was known as Kammanu or the Kingdom of Melid.
