wind whipped dust and sand, the
markers of drought and desertfica-
tion.
When the rainfall stopped, many
people in the area apparently went
to the still thriving cities in the
southern part of the Tigris
Euphrates River valley, deep in
what is now Iraq.
"We see in the historic records of
the era that there were incursions of
non-southern peoples,” Weiss said.
"They are depicted as barbarians
This led to the collapse of the
imperial core of the region and was
followed by a time of no dynastic
control.
“This was a period described in
the native sources as chaos,” he
said.
Eventually, the drought ended and
people returned to the upper
Tigris-Euprates valley, Weiss said.
Over the centuries, soil layers and
ruins from the drought era were
buried under 15 feet of new dirt.

Researchers says cities in
northern Mesopotamia, a Middle
Eastern area known as the "cradle
of civilization,” were wiped out 4,000
years ago when the climate changed
suddenly and brought on a 300 year
drought.
The new finding, just published in
the journal Science, gives powerful
support for earlier studies that
suggested there was an abrupt
change in climate that dealt a severe
blow to agriculture from Egypt to
India, said Harvey Weiss, a Yale
University archeologist.
"This set of climatic conditions is
documented along the Nile, in
eastern Africa, in the Indus River
valley (India and Pakistan) and in
Palestine," Weiss said. “We're not
talking about a narrowly defined
region.”
The new study is based on an
analysis of soil from buried rooftops
and areas around buildings un-
covered in Tell Leilan, an
archeology site in Syria, Weiss said
The site was once a thriving city of
about 10,000 people on the upper
plains of the Tigris-Euphrates River
valley. Humanity made some of its
early moves toward a settled,
agriculturally based civilization in
this area.
Tell Leilan was surrounded by
wheat and barley fields in 2200 B.C.,
Weiss said. There was commerce
with larger cities to the south, and
the area had become a key part of
the Akkadian empire, one of
history's early nations.
The climate was excellent there,
with wet winters, dry summers and
a long growing season, he said.
“These (were) people who
cultivated wheat and barley," he
said. “They had donkeys and
probably horses. This is during the
early bronze age."
Fortresses were built in the area,
and there is evidence of an advanced
culture taking root and flourishing at
this newly civilized region in the
north.
But suddenly, all that ended.
Weiss said an examination of soil
samples by Maric-Agnes Courty of
the Centre National de Recherche
Scientifique in Paris found none of
the insects and worm traces that
normally are in moist soil
