Kummuh

Neo-Hittite kingdom

Kummuh was a Neo-Hittite kingdom in the Iron Age, located on the west bank of the Upper Euphrates within the eastern loop of the river between Melid (north) and Carchemish (south). The city is identified with the classical-period Samosata (modern-day Samsat Höyük), which has now been flooded under the waters of a newly built dam.
