Namhansanseong
Namhansanseong Fortress was the emergency capital of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), located in a mountainous area 25 km southeast of Seoul. Built and guarded by Buddhist monks, the fortress could accommodate 4,000 people and served important administrative and military functions. Its earliest remains date back to the 7th century, but it was rebuilt several times, especially in the early 17th century to guard against attacks by the Qing Dynasty. The city embodies a synthesis of defensive military engineering concepts of the time, based on Chinese and Japanese influences, and changes in the art of defense after the introduction of weapons using gunpowder from the West. Inhabited since ancient times and long a provincial capital, the city contains a variety of military, civil and religious buildings that became a symbol of Korean sovereignty.
Arslantepe Mound
The Arslantepe Mound is a 30-meter-high archaeological site located in the Malatya Plain, 12 kilometers southwest of the Euphrates River. Archaeological evidence at the site indicates that it was inhabited from at least the 6th millennium BC to the late Roman period. The earliest strata of the Early Uruk period are characterized by adobe houses from the first half of the 4th millennium BC. The most prominent and prosperous period of the site was the Late Chalcolithic period, during which the so-called palace complex was built. Extensive evidence also confirms the presence of the Early Bronze Age, the most prominent of which is the Royal Tomb Complex. Archaeological strata then extend to the Old Assyrian and Hittite periods, including the Neo-Hittite period. The site demonstrates the processes that led to the emergence of state societies and complex bureaucratic systems that predate writing in the Near East. Many exceptional metal objects and weapons have been unearthed at the site, including the earliest swords known to date in the world, indicating that organized forms of combat began to become the prerogative of the elite, who displayed these swords as instruments of their new political power.
