Damascus, Dec. 19 (SANA) The General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums announced on Friday the discovery of an archaeological tomb in the city of Manbij, northeast of Aleppo, dating back to the classical period. The discovery was made during emergency excavation work conducted by an archaeological mission at the site.
According to a statement published on the directorate’s official Facebook page, excavation work for a building on a private property in Manbij uncovered archaeological indicators, prompting the formation of an urgent excavation team from the Aleppo Directorate of Antiquities and Museums to assess the site.
The excavations uncovered a tomb consisting of a main chamber and three adjoining rooms with semi-circular arches—architectural features characteristic of the classical era. No artifacts of significant historical value were discovered inside the tomb.
The Directorate reaffirmed its commitment to preserving Syria’s cultural heritage and urged citizens to report any archaeological discoveries encountered during excavation or construction activities, thereby contributing to the protection of this invaluable heritage for future generations.
The Manbij region in eastern Aleppo is regarded as a natural open-air museum rich in ancient remains. Historically known as the “Sacred City” (Hierapolis), the area is home to several important archaeological sites, most notably Qalaat Najm, Umm al-Sarj site, and the ancient wall of Manbij, as well as Roman tombs, mosaic panels, and a wide range of archaeological finds.
