Tell el Fakhariya, Archaeological remains in Ras al-Ayn, Syria.
Tell el Fakhariya spans 90 hectares with a central elevated mound containing layers of ancient settlements near the Khabur River basin.
The settlement, dating back to 2000 BCE, served as an important center during the Assyrian period and was known as Sikani around 1000 BCE.
Excavations at the site revealed a significant bilingual inscription in Akkadian and Aramaic languages, detailing the governance of ruler Hadad-yithi.
The archaeological site lies 2 kilometers from Ras al-Ayn center, with coordinates at 36°50'34"N latitude and 40°4'3"E longitude.
Scientific analysis of cuneiform tablets found at Tell el Fakhariya suggests connections to the Mittani capital Wassukanni from the Bronze Age period.
