In this program we'll take a look at some of the earliest recorded history of one of the world's longest continuously occupied cities - Aleppo (Halab). For much of the Bronze Age, Aleppo was the capital of the wealthy and powerful kingdom of Yamhad. Fending off attacks from Shamshi-Adad's Kingdom of Upper Mesopotamia, it eventually succumbed to the might of the Hittite Empire, only to rise again centuries later. Along with Aleppo's most ancient history, we'll also take a look at artwork from the period.
