Ebla

Ebla (Arabic: إبلا, modern: تل مرديخ, Tell Mardikh), was one of the earliest kingdoms in Syria. Its remains constitute a tell located about 55 km (34 mi) southwest of Aleppo near the village of Mardikh. Ebla was an important center throughout the third millennium BC and in the first half of the second millennium BC. Its discovery proved the Levant was a center of ancient, centralized civilization equal to Egypt and Mesopotamia, and ruled out the view that the latter two were the only important centers in the Near East during the early Bronze Age. Karl Moore described the first Eblaite kingdom as the first recorded world power.

Starting as a small settlement in the early Bronze Age (c. 3500 BC), Ebla developed into a trading empire and later into an expansionist power that imposed its hegemony over much of northern and eastern Syria. Its language, Eblaite, is now considered the earliest attested Semitic language after Akkadian. Ebla was destroyed during the 23rd century BC; it was then rebuilt and was mentioned in the records of the Third Dynasty of Ur. The second Ebla was a continuation of the first, ruled by a new royal dynasty. It was destroyed at the end of the third millennium BC, which paved the way for the Amorite tribes to settle in the city, forming the third Ebla. The third kingdom also flourished as a trade center; it became a subject and an ally of Yamhad (modern-day Aleppo) until its final destruction by the Hittite king Mursili I in c. 1600 BC.

Dealer In Death

by: Oi Polloi

Hey there Mr. Kipling
Exceedingly good cakes?
You're a dealer in death
Your cost image is a fake
MR. KIPLING - DEATH DEALER!
MR. KIPLING - LIFE STEALER!
We ask you this question
How many creatures must die
To provide the animal fat
For your apple pie?
In the slaughterhouse
The cattle scream and bleed
Animals condemneded to death
By the corporate greed
That fuels war and exploitation
And steals the earth from all of us
But now your rotting facade is crumbling
