Camel Caravan close to Valley of Tombs, Palmyra, Syria
Camel Caravan close to Palmyra, Homs Governate, Syria. Dating back to the Neolithic, Palmyra was first attested in the early second millennium BC as a caravan stop for travellers crossing the Syrian Desert. Outside the ancient walls, to the west, the Palmyrenes constructed a series of large-scale funerary monuments which now form the so-called Valley of Tombs, a 1 km long necropolis (shown in this card). The monuments numbered more than 50 and were mostly in the shape of towers reaching up to four levels. Date: circa 1930
