Summary
[edit]DescriptionCentral Street at Palmyra (I).jpg |
English: Palmyra (/ˌpælˈmaɪərə/; Arabic: تدمر; Tadmur; Aramaic: ܬܕܡܘܪܬܐ; Hebrew: תַּדְמוֹר, Modern Tadmor Tiberian Taḏmôr; Ancient Greek: Παλμύρα) was an ancient Aramaic city in central Syria. In antiquity, it was an important city located in an oasis 215 km (134 mi) northeast of Damascus and 180 km (110 mi) southwest of the Euphrates at Deir ez-Zor. It had long been a vital caravan stop for travellers crossing the Syrian desert and was known as the Bride of the Desert. The earliest documented reference to the city by its Semitic name Tadmor, Tadmur or Tudmur (which means "the town that repels" in Amorite and "the indomitable town" in Aramaic) is recorded in Babylonian tablets found in Mari. العربية: تدمر إحدى أهم المدن الأثرية عالميآ لها شهرتها ومكانتها، تقع في وسط سوريا وتتبع لمحافظة حمص، هي مدينة ذات أهمية تاريخية حيث كانت عاصمة مملكة تدمر وهي اليوم مدينة سياحية. تبعد 215 كيلومتر عن مدينة دمشق إلى الشمال الشرقي منها، وتقع على بعد 150 إلى الجنوب الغربي من نهر الفرات و160 كيلومتر شرق مدينة حمص. تعرف حاليا في سوريا باسم "عروس الصحراء"، وتدمر هي أقدم تسمية للمدينة وقد ظهرت في المخطوطات البابلية التي وجدت في مملكة ماري السورية على الفرات وتعني "بلد المقاومين" باللغة العمورية و"البلد التي لا تقهر" باللغة الآرامية السورية القديمة، ارتفع شأن المدينة بعد أن أصبحت عاصمة لمملكة من أهم ممالك الشرق مملكة تدمر ونافست روما وبسطت نفوذها على مناطق واسعة واتصفت تدمر بغناها الكبير وكانت مركزآ تجاريآ، واليوم هذة هي تدمر تتميز بأثارها الرائعة التي تدل على عظمتها وما وصلت اليه في سالف الزمان، تنتشر أثار تدمر على مساحة واسعة وتتكون من شوارع ممتدة تحيط بها الأعمدة وبوابات ومعابد ومسرح وحانات واكرابول وتتراتيل ومساكن وقصور وخزانات ومدافن وقلعة تاريخية.
