Tell Ta'yinat is a low-lying ancient tell on the east bank at the bend of the Orontes River where it flows through the Amuq valley, in the Hatay province of southeastern Turkey about 25 kilometers south east of Antakya (ancient Antioch), and lies near Tell Atchana, the site of the ancient city of Alalakh. Tell Ta'yinat has been proposed as the site of Alalaḫu, inhabited in late 3rd millennium BC, mentioned in Ebla's Palace G archive;[1] and in later times as Kinalua, the capital city of an Iron Age Neo-Hittite kingdom.[2] Among the findings are an Iron Age temple and several 1st millennium BC cuneiform tablets.[3]
