EDITORS COMMENTS
Serjilla: A Glimpse into the Forgotten Necropolis of Ancient Syria (circa 473-7th century AD) This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of the ancient necropolis of Serjilla, located in the northwestern region of Syria, before the onset of the Syrian civil war. Established around 473 AD and abandoned by the 7th century, Serjilla was once a thriving city during the Late Antiquity period. The necropolis, a burial ground for the deceased, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this once-great city. The remains of the stone tombs, adorned with intricate Crismon decorations, stand proudly against the arid landscape of Jebel Riha. The sarcophagi and tombs, some still partially covered by the sands of time, bear witness to the religious practices and architectural prowess of the ancient Syrian civilization. The panoramic view of the necropolis offers a glimpse into the forgotten history of this once-vibrant city. The ruins, now silent and still, evoke a sense of awe and wonder, as we ponder the lives of those who once inhabited this land. The necropolis of Serjilla is a poignant reminder of the transient nature of human existence and the enduring power of history. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Serjilla's necropolis is a treasure trove of archaeological and historical significance. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our shared cultural heritage, as we continue to learn from the past and build towards a better future.
