Have you ever wondered Atlantis's imaginary place? Has the "lost city," she really swallowed by the triangle of the Bermuda? These speculations on Atlantis being somewhere beyond the Bermuda will always have to intrigue us for us.
What will be your reaction if a treasure emerges from a river by itself before you, then will hide again by an increase in the water level? This is the story of such an incident that took place not once but twice on the shores of the Tigre River and leave your mind blown, thinking that "the heavens above are only possible?"
Moussu dam
The Mosul Dam tank on the shore of the Tigre River is the largest barrage of Iraq, 3.4 km long and 113 m high. The dam was built in 1986 and has been a subject of controversy since. And the discovery that was unveiled in 2010 added to the titles that the dam has made since its construction.
Construction
The Mosul Dam Building was awarded to a German Italian building company that began building the dam in 1981 and the work of the buildings continued at the end of 1986, when the dam was finally inaugurated and began under the ownership of the Ministry of Water Resources.
Weak base
When the dam construction plan has been established, engineers were aware of the characteristics of the weak rocks that were to be the foundation of the dam. The rocks consisted mainly in marl and limestone and many cavities were found during excavations. So, what could have supported under such a low construction that would surprise the whole world?
Kurdistan
Kurdistan is a mountainous region and the Tigre-Euphrates River system is essential for the water supply of Iraq and dams are one of the most common resources to help irrigation. But the Tiger River has proven to be much more than just a resource for history, Iraq's present with the treasure that is kept hidden inside.
Political pressure
Each member of the construction company was aware of the problems that would occur after the construction of the dam, because the bed of the river is composed of gypsum and anhydrite, which means that it is a place potentially Unstable to build a dam. But the work has argued due to the political pressure on the location and the schedule.
Kurdistan of drought
Although Iraq is known as "two river land", because of the tiger and euphrates, the Kurdistan region in Iraq has faced drought situations because of very fewer rainfall and therefore a Falling the water level of the rivers.
Flood
When the construction of the dam was close to its departure, Kurdistan faces a flood alert while the water level had increased beyond the level of danger. At that time, the amount of precipitationIn the entire Iraq was high and that should have led to the treasure submersion in the river that was discovered after so many years.
Contrasting
Although there have been flood alerts in the 1980s, the last few years were completely contrasting with the disease and drought was expected in Iraq. With climate change, the conditions started to change and everything had returned to 2010.
Nature's response
Whenever we try to change the natural resources for our selfish benefits, nature comes back to you. The disturbance we do to nature is sure to have a consequence, and this has been exactly why the beginning of the Mosul dam has brought flood alerts and not much later, even a drought with it.
The only comfort
For the first time perhaps, a drought would give much more than stress, suffering and disadvantages. During difficult and difficult situations like a drought, there was a discovery that made headlines around the world.
The first step
With the drought in 2010, when the water level reduced as ever before, the amazing discovery felt in the tiger bed that has witnessed by archaeologists was as fascinating as to watch a phoenix at the height of its own ashes.
Threats
Shortly after the discovery was made, she hit the headlines and the whole world witnessed the captivating treasure. But with the discovery that archaeologists were busy entering depths, ISIS started to immerse threats and caused a barrier in the search for archaeologists.
View
When water levels fell, something long and enormous emerged from the inside of the river that had been immersed inside for a very long period. But before archaeologists can make an appropriate investigation into the discovery, the level of water lifted again with the unexpected nonsasonasonal rainfall, and the captivating discovery quickly drowned inside the river.
Re-emerged
After 2010, there was no idea of sensational discovery until 2018 when the water level decreased by another time. The precious discovery appeared again and archaeologists rushed to explore it. But nature did not give them a lot of time in this turn.
Reparteant
In 2018, archaeologists had hardly made solid confirmations when the discovery was still submerged in the water, leaving everyone with the question of when or if it will reveal again.
Pending
Since 2018, archaeologists from around the world have been waiting intensely awaiting the invaluable treasury to unveil itself because they believe it could be one of the greatest discoveries of the decade. "Find is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the region in recent decades," Hasanologist Kurdish Ahmed Qasim said in a press release.
An accident
The Mosul dam brought fame, power and status to Iraq. But engineers are also fighting struggles and are fighting a possible collapse of the dam at any time in the future. And this would not simply mean a loss of all the resources that had been placed in the manufacture of the dam but much more than that.
Loss of lives
The fall and failure of the dam would lead to devastations for more than a million people who would live around the Mossoules dam and built homes with their hard earned money and can not leave the place where everything is invested and Always would always be at risk of becoming drowned or moved.
Goal of the dam
The dam is a risk for a lot of lives, but the government tries to console the public that the dam is needed because it plays an important role in the booking of water gallons for irrigation nearbyfarms And it provides electricity to neighboring areas as well.
Useful tank
The Mosuss dam has not simply been helpful in providing electricity. The importance of the dam has increased when used to release water from its tanks when precipitation had reached its lowest in 2018. This opening of the tank was what led to the discovery of the beautiful treasure hidden. interior of the water that was ...
The treasure
The low water levels revealed a massive building, such as a palace inside the water. People who attended the emergence of this palace were from Dumbstruck to the sight, which was almost absent and never known by people living around the river for so many years. But what palace was it? Who lived there? And why was it inside the water?
A palace
A palace named Kemune palace by archaeologists has been revealed from the Tiger River and is considered 3400 years. And even if the building turned out, the archaeologists were in a dilemma as to when he would hide under the water and how long was their pocket to discover it.
Almost at any time
The archaeologists knew they had barely had the month of September and October to study the site because the end of October would bring winters and with it, precipitation, which conceals the palace again.
Inside the palace
The researchers began to discover the palace and studied eight rooms in detail on the ten rooms visible to them. It is on the basis of the study of these eight rooms that archaeologists have established that the Kemune Palace came from the Mitanni Empire.
Mitanni Empire
Almost nothing or very little has never been known or discovered on the Mitanni Empire. The main reason why the discovery of the palace had been so crucial for archaeologists was that they would be able to do in-depth research on this mysterious empire with the help of the palace.
Multiple civilizations
The land of Iraq is often called "cradle of civilization" because the oldest civilization in the world, the Sumerian civilization has been formed here. The Babylonian Empire that reigned in the 1800s, British Columbia was the next biggest civilization that was also formed on the ground of Iraq. And now was the revelation of another civilization.
Structure
The palace would have been 65 feet from the river when it was initially built. He had to have a high terrace according to the studies and the entire palace was surrounded by unusually thick mud bricks, being as thick as 2 meters for the stabilization of construction.
Cultural paintings
In the eight rooms that archaeologists studied and sought inside, they found wall paintings in shades of blue and red that did not look like anything before. There was only one location closer to the Kemune Palace where these types of murals were found and were very rare.
Another discovery
In addition to the murals exclusively of the period of Mitanni, archaeologists have also found ten clay tablets covered with cuneiform scenarios, the oldest form of writings in the world, known for their corner-shaped marks carried out by tools such as reeds like blunt.
Hope
"Texts, we hope to obtain information on the internal structure of the Mittani Empire, its economic organization and the relationship between the capital of Mittani with the administrative centers of the neighboring regions", Ivana Puljiz, Archaeologist of the University of Tübingen Institute National studies close to the East told CNN.
EMPIER EXTENT
The Empire of Mitanni extends from the eastern coast of the Mediterranean through parts of Syria, Turkey and Iraq. The Empire would have been established and existed in the 15th century BC
Power of Mitanni
The Empire of Mitanni started getting up when the old Babylonian Empire had reached its decline. The first started to gain power and became stronger because the latter started to become weak. The Empire has become so great and strong at some point that it was part of the "great power club" in the inclusion of Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia and the Kingdom of Hatti.
Hand control
By dominating the habur, the euphrates and the tiger, the inhabitants of Mitanni tried and to a certain extent succeed in making their empire stronger. It is said that the Empire would have extended during the reign of King Shaushtatar who was in power around 1430 BC.
Near the end
King Tushratta was the last leading king independently of the Empire of Mitanni and died in 1360 BC. And it was during the Tusshratta reign period that Wassukkani was dismissed by the King Supiluliumas Hittite, who finally led to the fall and decline of the Mitanni period.
Another round
King Tlushratta was murdered by anyone other than his own son who convinced a group of people to murder their own king. A civil war was followed after this devastating event and the son of Tusshratta Shattiwaza was rendered the king to the throne. But now, there was no one who could save the decline of the Empire.
The forgotten empire
Mitanni soon became the forgotten empire after the Hittites and Assyrias attacked the Empire one after the other and they did not have support to the shelter. When the Assyrians attacked the Mittani Empire, they destroyed all the chronologies, texts, remains, all that the Mitanni Empire possessed and that is why nothing has been recognized on the Empire.
Ray of hope
For archaeologists, the loss of all that was belonging to the Empire of Mitanni was a big loss after which they never really had a lot of things in their hands to seek civilization. In this case, the emergence of the Kemune palace was the lost hope of thearchaeologists.
Tablets translated
Among the ten tablets found in the Kemune Palace, some have been translated that provided us with clues. It may be possible for the city formerly named Zakhiku that may have increased up to 400 years, or more.
Race of humanity
It is sad to see how humanity is in a race with itself and that people have become so self-centered on the fact that they are so helpless from what is happening around them and what happens to things or the people around them. Nobody is more disturbed on something that does not concern them.
Archaeologists
Archaeologists are trying so hard to enter the depths of things that have risen or are on the point of decline. The profession of an archaeologist is a difficult way, but these people bring us details about the world that we never even knew existed around us, to modify and add to the past.
Story
Without history, there would have been no sense to every person's life. History gives us a feeling and feeling of belonging. We know what we are doing, what is the culture around us and the meaning of that. It is important that we know how we, humans have reached the present.
Continuous discoveries
The discoveries like the Kemune Palace are beneficial because, with the help of such discoveries, much more is added to the history of our ancestors and the United States. The revelation of the Kemune Palace has been an amazing discovery that has been added to the less known facts on the Empire of Mitanni and we hope that the palace emerges again from the river so that the more can be revealed in the history of the history of Civilizations.
