Years: 2925BCE - 2782BCE
Mari (present Tell Hariri), an ancient Sumerian and Amorite city situated on the western bank of Euphrates river seven miles (eleven kilometers) northwest of Abu Kemal, Syria, is thought to have been inhabited since the fifth millennium BCE, although it flourishes with series of superimposed palaces that spans a thousand years, beginning in 2900 BCE.
The city is strategically important as a relay point between the Sumerian cities of lower Mesopotamia, and the cities of northern Syria.
Sumer requires building materials such as timber and stone from northern Syria, and these materials have to go through Mari to reach Sumer.
