Ras Ibn Hani (F. Cobbing 1999) |
Ras Ibn Hani was the 'summer palace' of the Queens of Ugarit.Extensive excavations, still continuing, have revealed the remains of the Late Bronze-Age palace, which, like Emar on the Euphrates, was destroyed by the Sea-Peoples in the 12th century BC. The remains of the palace show the dramatic signs of this destruction, with mortar, mud-brick, and lime plaster bearing scorch marks and other evidence of having been subjected to a conflagration. Cypro-Phoenician pottery occurs at this site after the destruction, which suggests that this site was immediately re-settled by the invaders and their allies. |
