Sultantepe, Archaeological tell in Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey.
The Sultantepe mound rises 50 meters above ground level, with a flat summit measuring 100 by 50 meters near the modern village.
Excavations revealed an Assyrian settlement from the eighth and seventh centuries BCE, which ended abruptly with the fall of Harran in 610 BCE.
The archaeological site contains remains of temples dedicated to several deities including Zababa, Baba, Ishtar, and the Sumerian moon god Sin.
The ancient artifacts and clay tablets discovered at Sultantepe are now preserved and displayed at the Archaeological Museum in Ankara.
Archaeologists discovered 600 clay tablets containing mathematical texts, medical knowledge, and forty previously unknown lines of the Creation Epic, Enuma Elish.
