Aleppo is the oldest inhabited city in history.
It knew human settlement since the eleventh
millennium B.C. through the residential houses
which were discovered in Al-Qaramel Hill .Aleppo
has been conquered by many nations and
civilizations since the 4th millennium B.C., it
knew the Sumerians,Acadians, Amorites,
Babylonians, Hithies, Mitanians, Assyrians,
Arametes, Chaldeans, Greeks, Romans and
Byzantines.
The Arabian tribes lived in the 1st
millennium B.C. till the time of the Islamic
conquest which was liberation from the European
Byzantine occupation on one hand and a human
civilized rebalance to the native people on the
other hand.
The Islamic civilization through its
flexibility formed a new horizon that reshaped
other civilizations in this supreme tolerant
form. That form called for peace and
brotherhood.
Fifteen centuries ago up till now
Aleppo becomes one of the most important Islamic
cities through its economical, historical,
artistic and cultural legacy.
