Site Presentation (Version 1)

Activities

6 villages

Giorgio Buccellati – November 2026

Tell Mozan, Qarah Qob, Foukani, Bab al khair, Umm al Rabia, Briva. Our awareness campaign continues to move across the Urkesh region.

This month has also seen a particularly moving and significant moment for our project: the presentation in Tell Mozan. Among those who were seated in the small desks of the school kindly made available for the event, sat many of those workers who participated in our excavation campaigns in the past. And, in the front row, their sons - some of them possibly cannot even remember that, as children, they visited us on the excavations together with their fathers and mothers.

Our initiative is becoming more and more known throughout the area: our local collaborators tell us that in some villages the participation is particularly active, and those taking part in the presentations arrive “prepared”, having also spoken to others who attended the campaign in the other villages.

Interest is growing, as it also growing the expectation for the moment when the Park will finally be a reality.
