Ancient history of Ablakh and its monuments

Ablakh is one of the oldest areas around Sulaimani with an ancient and rich history. This area was an independent village in the past, but due to the development of the city has become an important neighborhood in Sulaimani. Research indicates that the history of Ablakh is very old and some historians believe that its name dates back to the time of the Lulubis, which is evidence of the antiquity and importance of this area.
Ablakh was originally a large village with several different neighborhoods and streets. The local people spent most of their time farming, raising livestock and trading. Their social life was known for cooperation and unity, and mosques played an important role in organizing the spiritual and social life of the people. As time went on and the city expanded, arable land decreased and the way of life of the inhabitants changed.
Historically, Ablakh had a special place during the Ottoman period. At that time, the village belonged to the Sarchnar area and had a large number of houses. A number of Ablakh people also held positions and responsibilities in the Ottoman state. This shows that Ablakh was not just an ordinary village, but played its own role in the political and social life of the region.
The ancient monuments of Ablakh are an important part of the history of this region. Among them, the monument of «Msekan» has a special reputation. According to archaeological research, this monument dates back to about 1600 BC and proves the continuity of human life in the area. Clay and archaeological evidence have been found there showing that the area was inhabited at different times.
The tomb of a skeleton has also been found at the Copper Archaeological Site buried in a private manner. This discovery is important evidence for the lifestyle and traditions of ancient people. Through such artifacts, archaeologists can obtain important information about human life, their beliefs and measures.
Finally, Ablakh is an important historical and cultural area with an ancient history. It has moved from an old village to a neighborhood in Sulaimani, but still preserves its historical heritage. Preserving this cultural and historical heritage is a national duty, because these places are part of the identity and history of the Kurdish people and help us to know our past better.
