QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – <\/strong>The Antiquities Directorate of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) launched a project two months ago under the name of the \u201cThe Extended Project of Jazira,\u201d which aims to comprehensively restore the archaeological site at Tel Beydar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project also aims to equip warehouses with appropriate conditions to preserve and protect archaeological finds, according to those in charge of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the site had collapsed due to the weather conditions and lack of care, and the project supervisors expect to complete the restorations by December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site of Tel Beydar<\/a> is located in Upper Mesopotamia and more precisely in the Upper Syrian Jazira, a region called the \u201cKhabur Triangle\u201d, a sort of delta without a sea, formed by the tributaries of the Euphrates River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thamer al-Maish, a resident of the village of Tel Beydar (35 km north of Syria\u2019s city of Hasakah), is trying to smooth the plaster that he placed on the lower part of the wall of the ancient temple of Tel Beydar, a place inhabited by his ancestors, in an attempt to preserve what remains of this archaeological site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al-Maish, who oversees a team of nine workers restoring the archaeological site of Tel Beydar, told North Press that he had to choose a team who did not have experience working in the archaeological sites, as “it is impossible to find experts in the region.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al-Maish was assigned by the Antiquities Directorate to form a working group to restore the archaeological site, where he worked for years with the European Mission as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
