Palmyra (/ˌpælˈmaɪrə/; Aramaic: ܬܕܡܘܪܬܐ Tedmurtā ; Arabic: تدمر Tadmor) is an ancient Semitic city in present-day Homs Governorate, Syria. Archaeological finds date back to the Neolithic period and the city was first documented in the early second millennium BC. Palmyra changed hands on a number of occasions between different empires, before becoming a subject of the Roman Empire in the first century AD.
The city grew wealthy from trade caravans; the Palmyrenes, renowned merchants, established colonies along the Silk Road and operated throughout the Roman Empire. Palmyra's wealth enabled the construction of monumental projects, such as the Great Colonnade, the Temple of Bel and the distinctive tower tombs. The Palmyrenes were a mix of Amorites, Arameans and Arabs. The city's social structure was tribal, and its inhabitants spoke Palmyrene (a dialect of Aramaic); Greek was used for commercial and diplomatic purposes. The culture of Palmyra, influenced by Greco-Roman culture, produced distinctive art and architecture that combined eastern and western traditions. The city's inhabitants worshiped local deities and Mesopotamian and Arab gods.

ISIL fighters have entered the Unesco World Heritage site of Palmyra, in Syria. The narrative of recent months, that ISIL's momentum had been stalled, has been shattered by its advances. Ramadi, the capital of Iraq's biggest province, and Palmyra, the cradle of civilisation are now in its hands. Al Jazeera's Caroline Malone reports.
A monitoring group says Islamic State militants have killed 20 men at the ancient theatre inside the Unesco World Heritage site of Palmyra in central Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says residents were rounded up and forced to watch the men being shot. The group says about 240 people - mostly soldiers - have now been killed by IS since it overran the town last week. The killings come as there are fears that IS may destroy the 2,000-year-old Roman-era ruins. Syrian officials said last week IS militants locked the doors to the museum at the site and placed guards at its doors. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-32920614#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns;_source=PublicRSS20-sa http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
The Russian military said on Thursday (April 21) it had completed the demining of the ancient part of the Syrian city of Palmyra, recaptured by Syrian and Russian forces in late March from militants. "Comrade commander-in-chief! As of today, the task of demining the architectural and historical part of Palmyra has been fully completed," Russian engineer troops commander Yuri Stavitski told President Vladimir Putin via video link from Palmyra. … READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2016/04/21/russia-completes-demining-of-archeological-site-in-palmyra-syria What are the top stories today?

ISIL fighters have destroyed two Islamic shrines close to the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra or Tadmur, as it's also known. It's the first time they've targeted historical sites since they took over the city, but experts fear there's more destruction to come. Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reports.
"Palmyra was under control of the co-called Islamic State for almost a year. During that time, its architectural heritage was partially destroyed. The iconic Bel Temple and the Temple of Baalshamin, built more than 2000 years ago were left in ruins," reported Euronews' correspondent Denis Loctier from the ancient site. International experts are on site in Palmyra assessing the extent of the damage. Many have expressed relief that the worst may have been avoided.

Das antike Palmyra gehört zu den bedeutesten Ausgrabungsstätten Syriens und steht auf der Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes. Die Siedlung, Tempel und Gräber decken weitläufiges Areal ab. Wir hatten bei unserer Reise mit Eberhardt TRAVEL einen Tag Zeit, ein paar Eindrücke zu gewinnen. Wir schlenderten über die Kolonadenstraße, sahen das Theater, besuchten einen Grabturm und ein unterirdisches Grab. Besonders beeindruckend war der Tempel des Baal. Zum Abschluss hatten wir einen wunderbaren Blick von der Burg, die mit rund 700 Jahren in dieser Gegend eher ein junges Gebäude ist. Palmyra war übrigens eine Oasenstadt, die aus mehrere Quellen gespeist wurde. Leider ist inzwischen auch die letzte Quelle versiegt. Das Grün zieht sich langsam zurück. Intensiv Palmyra erleben kann man hier: http://ww...
