Unusual images come from Tell Mozan. Our workers on the site have written to inform us about an unusual snowfall, which has whitewashed the entire area around the site.
As you can see from the photos, the snow has covered the village of Mozan as well as the archaeological site of Urkesh. The pictures also show how, once again, our system of protection of the ancient structures has proved effective, protecting the walls of the Tupkish Palace and the large section in the area of the Temple Terrace.
The great monumental staircase is also covered with snow: as soon as the snow has melted, our workers will check the overall solidity of the ancient structure and intervene to secure it, if necessary.
