Palmyra (/ˌpælˈmaɪrə/; Aramaic:ܬܕܡܘܪܬܐTedmurtā ; Arabic:تدمرTadmor) 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.
Tadmur is the administrative center of the Tadmur District and the Tadmur Subdistrict. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), the city had a population of 51,323 and the subdistrict a population of 55,062 in the 2004 census. Tadmur's inhabitants were recorded to be Sunni Muslims in 1838. During the Syrian Civil War, the city's population significantly increased due to the influx of internally-displaced refugees from other parts of the country.
Palmyra, the ancient city steeped in legend and nestled in the heart of the Syrian desert, is renowned for its beautiful funerary sculpted portraits. The sculptures and reliefs have been dispersed around the globe, but now a team of international archaeologists are working to unravel their secrets. The legendary city's rich history and multicultural identity serve as a focal point for scholars as they meticulously reconstruct family trees depicted in stone. Through the exploration of these sculptures, the exceptional nature of Palmyra emerges, underlining its legendary status and historical significance in the 21st century.

Palmyra before the destruction of ISIL 🇸🇾 Syria
An oasis in the Syrian desert, north-east of Damascus, Palmyra contains the monumental ruins of a great city that was one of the most important cultural centres of the ancient world. From the 1st to the 2nd century, the art and architecture of Palmyra, standing at the crossroads of several civilizations, married Graeco-Roman techniques with local traditions and Persian influences.
Following the capture of Palmyra in Syria, ISIL was reported as not intending to demolish the city's World Heritage Site (while still intending to destroy any statues deemed 'polytheistic'). On 27 May 2015, ISIL released an 87-second video showing parts of the apparently undamaged ancient colonnades, the Temple of Bel and the Roman theatre.

8.6 The Legacy of Palmyra
The ruins of ancient cities still matter today, as places of memory, as symbols of identity. The ancient city of Palmyra, for example, has inspired generations of artists, scholars, and common visitors. Yet, the recent destruction of some of the city`s finest monuments shows that it is a contested place, too. The video provides an overview of the reception of Palmyra since the end of antiquity.
This video is part of the MOOC "Discovering Greek & Roman Cities" which was produced by the Strategic Partnership "Ancient Cities", a cooperation between the Christian-Albrechts-University at Kiel, the University of Aarhus, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athen, the University of Bergen, the Open University of the Netherlands and Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne.

On 30 August 2015, ISIL demolished the Temple of Bel with explosives. Satellite imagery of the site taken shortly after showed almost nothing remained. (wikipedia)

Palmyra (/ˌpælˈmaɪrə/; Aramaic:ܬܕܡܘܪܬܐTedmurtā ; Arabic:تدمرTadmor) 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.
Only a few old petals left On the rose that touched your hand My little heart is a graveyard It's a no man's land You could tell I didn't care, you kept pushing till I did Woke up in a pit of despair on your bed And I wondered how I could do without you How absurd, how absurd, how absurd Put my lipstick back on, look myself in the eye I'm heading out in the cold hard world And I'm getting very good at saying my goodbyes My goodbyes, my goodbyes My goodbyes, my goodbyes Can you read the inscription? It seems to once have said He better take me with him When he goes I'm good as dead Put some roses on the stones, look your friends in the eye If nothing else we've got that old sucking line And I'll dance at your funeral if you dance at mine You dance at mine, you dance at mine You dance at mine, you dance at mine They took it all and I don't care, already said my farewell Sweet Palmyra and her uncle's [Incomprehensible] Have to hit that long road that passes straight through hell Straight through hell, straight through hell I wish you well sweet Palmyra I wish you well sweet Palmyra
