" The cross-shaped limestone cemetery was discovered in the Nasiriya area in the remote Hasaka province, some 440 miles northeast of the capital Damascus and contained coins, pottery shards and bracelets dating to the later Aramaic era, Al-Thawra newspaper reported."

 

"Just on Tuesday, an even older cemetery from the 2nd century A.D. was discovered in the famed ruins of Palmyra, one of the region's most impressive sites from Classical antiquity."
