Historical overview:
During the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius (491-518 AD), after more than 60 years of peace, a serious conflict with Persia broke out. It lasted from 502 to 506 AD and was known as the Anastasian War. It became the prelude to a long series of armed skirmishes, devastating both empires throughout the next century. The Anastasian War demonstrated the weakness of the Byzantine armed forces and the generals responsible for the failure explained their defeat to the lack of a solid military base belonging to the Byzantine Empire in the region. Meanwhile, the Persians possessed a mighty fortress near the town of Nisibis (now Nusaybin).
For this reason the Emperor Anastasius, taking advantage of a momentary respite in the war, due to the involvement of Persian troops in the east, ordered the construction of a fortress in the village of Dara. It was located 18 km west of Nisibis and just 5 km from the border with Persia. The fortress was to serve as a military base and guard the frontier territories. Its construction involved the masons from all over Mesopotamia, and the work progressed very quickly. The new city was founded on three hills, with the citadel on the highest hill. Also, huge warehouses, water cisterns, and public baths were built. A new settlement was named Anastasiopolis, in honor of the emperor and it was established as the capital of the province of Mesopotamia.
Unfortunately, due to the rush during the construction of the fortress, its walls were found to be of poor quality, and severe weather conditions quickly worsened the problem, destroying long stretches of fortifications. That's why the Emperor Justinian I (527-565 AD) was forced to finance the repair of extensive fortifications in Dara. Additionally, he ordered to raise the height of the internal wall up to 20 meters. The towers were strengthened and expanded to achieve a height of 30 meters. To finish the work of strengthening the defenses of Dara, a moat was dug and filled with water.
What's more, the engineers working in Dara, on the orders of the Emperor, changed the course of the nearby river Cordes so that it started to flow through the city. They achieved this by digging a canal that led the waters of the river to the city. In this way, Dara obtained virtually unlimited access to drinking water. In addition, because the canal ran underground and rerouted the river to the surface 65 km to the north of the city, it severely limited the access to water for potential invaders during the siege. Indeed, such a solution saved the town several times during the prolonged wars with Persia.
To prevent flooding, which in the past had threatened the city, a magnificent arch dam was built, one of the first of its kind in the history of engineering. Unfortunately, its location remains unknown. In addition, at the same time, more structures were built, including the barracks for the army and two new churches: the Great Church and the Church of St. Bartholomew. After these changes, the city received a new name, of course, associated with the Emperor Justinian, and from then on was known as Iustiniana Nova.
In 530 AD, a battle was fought near Dara. It was one of the armed clashes during the so-called Iberian War, waged in the years 526-532 between the Eastern Roman Empire and Persia. Byzantine army led by General Belisarius won a significant victory over the Persians for the first time in almost 100 years. This result gave Byzantium the control over the strategically important areas of northern Mesopotamia, despite the later defeat of Belisarius, suffered a year later, at the Battle of Callinicum. Because of this defeat Belisarius was relieved of his command and recalled to Constantinople, where he suppressed the Nika riots directed against the emperor Justinian next year.
In 540 and 544 AD, the Persian army led by Khosrow I Anushiruwan (of the immortal soul) unsuccessfully attacked Dara. It was only in 574, when, despite all fortifications, Dara was conquered by the Persians. Apparently on hearing the news of its fall the Byzantine Emperor Justin II went mad. The empire was ruled until his death in 578 by his wife Sophia and their adopted son Tiberius II Constantine. In the meantime, the Persian army continued its march to the west, but it stopped by the death of Khosrow I.
After the conclusion of peace with Persia in 590 the city was returned to the Byzantines by the Sassanid ruler Khosrow II. It was then looted by the same ruler in 605, after a siege that lasted for nine months. This time, the Persians decided to raze Dara to the ground.
The city was rebuilt by the Byzantines in 628, but only 11 years later it was conquered by the Arabs, freshly converted to Islam. Dara remained in the hands of the Arabs for over 300 years. In the 10th century, the city was sacked twice (in 942 and 958) by the Byzantines.
Unfortunately I don't speak the language but this is a beautiful place that I have never seen highlighted on TH-cam or anywhere else

@@anniequiriath3280 gracias muy amable saludos de mi parte
Daha önce gidip görmüştüm lâkin verilen bilgiler ile çekimin detaylı bir video olarak sunulması çok güzel olmuş bir emeğinize sağlık Serdar Bey 👍
Çok teşekkür ederim.
Increíble.. MARAVILLA.
Que lugar bello moderno!!!!! Sentido de arquitectura futuros también nunca oí hablar de este lugar!
Doğup büyüdüğüm muhteşem bir yeraltı şehri emeğinizden dolayı kutlarım
Teşekkür ederim.
I can’t understand a word but thank you much for sharing & the view👍❤️
Emeğinize sağlık çekim mükemmel olmuş. Dara yı sizinle keşfetmiş oldum. Memleketimiz gelmiş geçmiş tarihi kalıntılarla dolu. Görmek lazım.
Reminds me of the underground cities in Turkey, much older than a mere 500bc.
Good production!!. Thanks for sharing.
Gracias por tan excelente video. La Historia antigua de nuestro planeta tierra ya esta disponible para explorar. La historia de mesopotamia Y persia, son parte de un conjunto de eventos que han marcado nuestra civilización como seres humanos. Desafortunadamente La oscuridad matiene oculta la lúz.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. the commentator is speaking Turkish, and you put Turkish subtitles, does that make sense to you? someone, there, is not thinking at all. Where is the English subtitle? thank you for the overview. at least.
I will do new one ( English version) about here as soon as possible...
Puedes hacer el esfuerzo y te consigues un traductor al español y a otros idiomas también de tal forma que comprendamos la explicación de este bello lugar. Muchas gracias
Verdaderamente maravilloso. Por favor traduzcan al español.
Luxe el medio oriente o asia ke kultura hizo eso ? Increible..
very well made video, thank you from germany! there are, though, two questions for me: from which sources did you get this detailed information about the city´s everchanging and tragic fate that you conveyed in the description?
and do you realize that the remains of this city look exactly like many other "megalithic" places around the world?
there are the so-called etruscan cave dwellings and funeral places in italy, others on crimea peninsula, again similar ones in japan and peru - just to name some very few ... .
even here in my country you can find rocks (maybe not exactly the same material but) with inbuilt dwelling places - not just caves - which have many details in common with this place called dara.
Yeni keşfettim yemeklerin bile milyonlarca izlendiği ülkemizde senin gibi güzel insanların da değeri bilinir inşallah. Yolun bahtın açık olsun kardeşim.
Çok teşekkür ederim, sağolun
This should be a World Heritage site because it belongs to Mankind. The ancient Giants had machinery beyond anything we have now. thank you.
Thank you
Or scaffolding.
"Giants had machinery beyond anything we have?" Now there you go again.
I really want to know what they are saying...no translation/ captions😕
Is this Farsi? Not sure if that spelling is correct
His speaking Turkish
I'm lucky enough to have some Turkish friends I'll watch this again in their company

Şöyle güzel bilgili bir videoda bu kadar yüksek müzik sesini anlamıyorum lütfen müzik sesini biraz daha az eklerseniz daha iyi olur
Bir daha ki sefere öyle yaparız, teşekkürler
Ogrenmis ve izlemis oldum
Tesekkurler
Ne mutlu bana, ben teşekkür ederim
Emeklerine sağlık kardeşim, teşekkür ederim.
Çok teşekkür ederim.
Yıllar önce Akıncı okulunda öğretmenlik yaparken gitmiştik Dara'ya. O zamanlar daha yeni başlıyordu kazı çalışmaları. Mardin güzel şehir ülkemizin diğer şehirleri gibi. İnşallah tekrar ziyaret etmek nasip olur Mardin'i.
inşallah.. merkezin videosu da altta.

Looks Like a Stone cutting place from Outside.
Massive Boulder were Cut Out from above to the Ground to build something hundred Miles away, and then they used the Rest as a living place and Cut in Underground...
Very nice !!!
Please Serdar Bey in english, is very,very intersting video.Thx a lot ,from Romania
Beautiful place
Kazı felan yapıldığı yok yapılsa çok daha fazlası çıkar daha fazla turist çeker ama maalesef üzerinde durulmuyor
Ellerinize emeyinize sağlık olsun inşallah çok güzel bir video olmuş 👏👍🧿🧿❤️🤲💐
Çok teşekkür ederim sağolun.
@@drone35 rica ederim Serdar bey❤️🧿🤲
wow this stone was carved from the top down like the Kailasha temples. and it it machine carved! so that means it was from the time before the flood 11,600 years ago. What a find and thank you for this!
I can understand some turkish the basics
But this is to elaborate to understand… anyway never seen this marvel before!! Amazing!! Some English subtitles would’ve been perfect!
Harika ve büyüleyici bir yer DARA 🎉Bana hemen Petrayı hatırlattı her iki antik kent Muhteşem emeğinize sağlık 🎉
Omy what a gem! 💕
Emeğinize çok teşekkür ediyorum.
Sayenizde Dara yı nerede olduģunu öģrendik
Çok ilginç .👍👍👍
Çok teşekkür ediyorum, sağolun.
Güzel çekim olmuş. Elinize sağlık. İnsan hep daha fazlasını ister ya, nedense yine izlemeye doyamadım ve eksik kalmış gibi. Daha çok görülmesi gereken yerler var diye düşünüyorum. Video'nun birinde muhteşem bir Sarnıç olduğunu da görmüştüm. Haklı olarak gerisini kalkın gidin, gezin görün diyeceksiniz ama istediğimiz halde onu yapamıyoruz. İmkanlarımız el vermiyor. Zaten o kadar çok gezilip görülmesi gereken yer var ki, buna ne zaman ne de imkan el verir. Geçim derdi olmayan insanlar için olabilir ama bizim gibiler için zor. Teşekkürler emekleriniz için.
Çok teşekkür ederim, inşallah gönlünüze göre gezip dolaşırsınız her yerleri.
Emeğine sağlık aslan kardeşim , dilerim seni daha iyi yerlerde görürüz ............
Çok teşekkürler
Çok güzelbir çekim emeğinize saglik
Çok teşekkür ederim..
Nice 👍👌
MASHAALLAH khub valo video...
Que bonito sería si pudiera entender loque dice
Pero gusto gracias
Se llama la ciudad de los muertos.Esta en Turquía, cerca de la frontera Siria, hay videos en Espsñol en TH-cam
Nice job. Great to see the contents. Numeric size information would have been nice. And dating of structure. Who needs words for this video?
Astonishing!garranti of use till today!amaizing inginiering
Salut....mit einem Untertitel wäre das natürlich noch viel interessanter (es lebe das Internet...grins). Tolle Bilder - es lebe die Geschichte :-)
I have travelled around parts of Turkey but did not know of this absolute gem of a place. Where is it exactly?
MARDİN, border of Turkey and Syria
Cok kaliteli bir anlatim, mükemmel belgesel .
Çok etkileyici bir tarihi anlatıyorsunuz
Seslendirme bana ait değil. ama anlatıcı adına da teşekkür ederim.
Muy INTERESANTE, pero donde está exactamente y sobretodo de que siglo o época es.. ??? GRACIAS ! ❓
Por los comentarios anteriores,esta en Siria.
Gracias, me he informado y es de época romana.
Que lugar maravilloso!! Esas construciones no las hizo un humano, tiene que haber sido alguien con una fuerza mucho más que un hombre común, tienen que haber usado algo que ponía blanda la roca para cavar de esa manera
Viajeros de espacio kon otras tecnicas vivieron algun tiempo y luego se fueron
Çok güzel bir tarihi goruntu
Çok teşekkürler. Mekan çok ilginç bir yer, gidilip görülmesini, şiddetle tavsiye ederim.
Can you imagine all the places they don't show? Never seen windows cut out like that is amazing 👏
Müziğin olması bı yönden iyi ayrı bir heyecan katıyor ama müzik sesinin biraz daha düşük olması lazım
Yinede emeğinize sağlık
Videoda ses sürekli inip çıkıyor ve bir kısmında hiç ses yok. Düzeltebilir misiniz.
Y cómo pudieron hacer semejante construcción en la roca. Además ese esqueleto parece de un gigante. Increíble
COK DEĞIŞIK BAMBAŞKA MAŞA-ALLAH
Seste neden problem var ? Bı yerde kopuyor sonra yine geliyor
English subtitles= more views! We are crazy for knowledge as were like mushrooms kept in the dark and fed shit! Were sick of it. Still watching because i love our aincient culture
Gılgamış destanı.. Mardin.. Ölümsüzlüğü arıyan kral.. Gercekten ölümsüz olmuş..
Amazing!!!
Tebrikler, tam da yapmak istediğim gibi bir video olmuş.
great history in Syria in greater Syria 🎶👍💖
Videoda ses sorunu var. Konuşma kesiliyor çoğu yerde.
Fantastic, beautiful place
Amazing.
Hmm why’s the audio backward?
Una pena que no este SUBTITULADO; hay muy poco material sobre AIN DARA y no es de muy buena calidad; gracias igual !!!
How can I learn more in English? I look up Dara and see something completely different.
there are English informations blow in video.. I will do new one ( English version) about here as soon as posiable...
@@drone35 That would be very much appreciated. Thank you Serdar. For bringing us this amazing archaeological discovery! It is truly, an amazing site to see. I can't wait to learn more about it.
So I will subscribe my friend. Thank you again!
Also, give my compliments to the drone pilot. Almost felt like I was there in person. Excellent footage, of a very beautiful site. I hope I can visit one day.
Çok güzel
Çok teşekkür ederim..
👍👏👏 elinize sağlık
Eyvallah Mustafam, elimizden geldiği kadar işte..
This place looks fascinating but I couldn’t understand what the narrator was saying. Or even where this site is located.
Благодарю за видео.
В этом году поеду туда
Алла жазса дәм тартса 🙏🏻
Thank you. We will waiting you. There are many interesting and mystical places in our country. I'm sure you'll discover them on your trip, too.
Is anyone paying attention to the size of the crypts in front of the monument? must be 12' at least!
Dónde es ahí, que país es, como se llama en español.
ulkemizin her bi yeride tarih fiskiriyor🔩🔩👍👍👍
Çekimler çok güzel,
Bu kadar ilginç yeri anlatırken bu sese ne lüzum var.
Güneydoğu gezilip görülmesi gereken yerlerden birincisidir.
Şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum.
Gittim, gördüm.Harika bir bölge.
Defalarca gitmek isterim.
Güvenli mi? Gidip dönememek var terör bölgesi olduğundan??
Gayet güvenli, ben İzmirden çıkıp gidip çektim.. Hiç bir problem yaşamadım..
Where and what is this place? Please translate 🙏. Fascinating!

Qué lugar tan interesante ! subtitulos en español, inglés o italiano, por favor :))
...und in deutsch bitte 👽
That's an ancient quarry turned into a living space.
It doesn't seem so. The original megalithic structure in the middle, what little there is left of it, was there millennia before the very primitive tombs that are left there now. The church in Ethiopia's Lalibela or Petra also come to mind. You don't go from first building a Bugatti Veyron and then build a Model A Ford, or worse a horse and buggy.
Yes I agree that was a quarry originally. You can see layers and rows where they removed the blocks and later used to build homes by opening rooms into the walls. I would like to hear the narrative translated.
3 ve 5 dakika arasında ses yok
Video hazırlanırken 3 ayrı müzik eklenmişti, tek tek çıkartıyorum müzikleri. Bu arada anlatım sesi de gitmiş, tekrar yerine koyacağım sağolun..
The person speaking in this video sounds like the VOICE OF ....ENGIN ALTAN ZUYATAN
Dara antik kenti çok geniş bir alana sahip olmasına rağmen araştırılmıyor ve kazı yapılmıyor çok eski ve bir çok medeniyete ev sahipliği varmış
Pl keep option for English translation
I will it second video about here
It is possible to see the marks where the soft mud was scraped away so long ago .It would take enourmous effort to reproduce these sites, since the clay has petrified long ago
Where is this place?!
İyi güzel de niye sürekli anlatım kesilmiş , kırpılmış onu anlamadım
Awsome
Ömrü hayatımda bilmediğim bir yer i rüyamda gördüm arka tarafında giden bir derenin sırtında altın çıktığını gördüm hayretler içindeyim
Amazing place!
Имено так делали первые дома себе люди по всей планете.Возраст таких сооружений и домов 27.500лет. Продолжительность года в те времена была длинее и времени было у людей больше как в году так и вдень.А изночально единица измирения как ГОД была вообще 1, но в этой единице было 1000дней, через десятки тысяч лет длина года уменьшалась во днях,и сейчас же наш год и его единица измерения года стала 360дней,пройдет еще немало десятков тысяч лет и единица измерения как год будет вдвое меньше чем сейчас,к тому времени исчезнут времена года и их смена станет незаметной вообще,как будто весна,лето,осень и зима стали одним целым и одним единым как сама единица измерения Год...
Çok güzel çekim. Bir de sessiz izlemenizi tavsiye ederim. Daha çok detaylar ortaya çıkıyor.
Müzik çok yüksek ve bir şey anlaşılmıyor maalesef.
Yapılmış olan bu dara Antik Kenti videosu, bir belgesel değildir. Herhangi yayıncı bir kurum için HAZIRLANMAMIŞ olup, Ülkemizin Tarihi ve Turizmimine faydası düşünülerek yapılmış olan, tamamen HOBİ amaçlı bir videodur.
Yoğun istekleriniz üzerine müzik kapatıldı.. Eğer gerçekten Dara Antik kenti hakkında daha detaylı bilgi edinmek istiyorsanız,
yazılı metinlere, tarihi dökümanlara başvurmanızı öneririm..
Saygılarımla.
why do you write an english title if the video is not in English??
Sorry that I dont understand but I can say that it's very important in history
wow. how old must this place be...
Buraya gittim harika bir yapıt
Ben de görmek isterim de sağ salim dönermiyiz bilemem ondan gidemiyoruz malum nusaybin sıcak bolge😕
No subtitles!?
