Tell Abyad could have been the site of the neo-Assyrian–era Aramean inhabited settlement of ''Baliḫu'', mentioned in 814 BC. Later, various other empires ruled the area, such as the Romans, Byzantines, Sassanids, Umayyads, Abbasids and finally the Ottoman Empire. Tell Abyad remained Ottoman till the end of World War I, when it was incorporated in the French mandate of Syria. In 1915 deported Anatolian Armenians founded the modern town of Tell Abyad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tell Abyad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
