1. Entering the Outer City

Text (PDF 111K)      This is a large open panel that is situated at the edge of the Outer City, as one enters it along one of the main roads that lead to the tell. Here I show only the panel situated at the northern end, the principal route for visitors coming from the Amuda-Qamishli highway. The other panels are identical, except for the map.
