Alalakh (or Alalah, modern Tell Atchana near Antakya (ancient Antioch), Turkey), is the name of an ancient Amorite city and its associated city-state of the Amuq River valley, located in the Hatay region of southern Turkey, now represented by an extensive tell or city-mound. Alalakh was founded during the Middle Bronze Age in the 2nd millennium BC. The first palace was built c. 2000 BC, contemporary with the Third Dynasty of Ur. The written history of the site may begin under the name Alakhtum, with tablets from Mari in the 18th century BC, when the city was part of the kingdom of Yamhad (modern Aleppo). A dossier of tablets records that King Sumu-epeh sold the territory of Alakhtum to his son-in-law Zimri-Lim, king of Mari, retaining for himself overlordship. After the fall of Mari in 1765 BC, Alalakh seems to have come once again under the authority of Yamhad. King Abban of Aleppo bestowed it upon his brother Yarim-Lim, to replace the city of Irridi, which Abban destroyed after it revolted against Yarim-Lim.
