A modern capital whose voice - discreet but assured, moderate but yet not lacking in feeling - is having a decisive effect on the Arab world and in the Mediterranean area today. Damascus is said by its citizens be "the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world".
Damascus is known to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. There is firm evidence that in the third millennium BC, Damascus was a population center of a civilization that was considerably prosperous and economically influential. The earliest reference to the city was found in the archaeological site of Ebla in 1975; where the word "Damaski" was found on one of the clay tablets. Some historians believe that the city actually dates back to the seventh millennium BC. |
