Artificial 22-meter hill located at the Tell Banat site, at the Txuri Monument, in Northern Syria, built 4,300 years ago. The material collected then has now been investigated and has come to the conclusion that it could be the oldest monument in tribute to the dead in the war that has been found.
In addition, it can be the first practical example of a special type of building described in several Mesopotamian texts, which consisted in forming structures by ordering bodies or bones of the dead in a certain way. However, the monument is not visitable, since it has been submerged since the Tishrin dam was built in 1999 on the Euphrates river.
