Daraa, SANA- “Every research in history that does not include Syria is incomplete and cannot be written down.” With this speech, British history researcher , Daniel Yang, began his speech about his visit to the archaeological and historical monuments in Syria.
Yang said that he is preparing for a master’s thesis in history in his country, and he wanted the East to be part of his study, particularly Syria due to the successive Phoenician, Sumerian, Roman and other civilizations, leading to the Arab civilization.
During his visit to the ancient city of Busra al-Sham, the researcher affirmed in a statement to SANA reporter that every Syrian archaeological area has a story of love with the history of nations, and visiting its antiquities takes months, so that the researcher can form the first cornerstone for his research on history.
Yang noted that what he witnessed during his tour of Aleppo, Hama, and Homs, all the way to Damascus and Busra al-Sham, asserts the greatness of this country throughout history.
Yang pointed out that when he was planning to visit Syria, he received many warnings, but he found the opposite of this grim picture, as he saw “a wonderful people who deserve life and smile despite their harsh conditions.”
“It is great to see the archaeological structure in Syria and the beauty of historical places. The Roman theatre in Bosras has a tale that I cannot finish telling from an engineering architecture, a beauty that hijacks minds and honestly I say: I did not expect what I saw”, he added.
Yang expressed his shock and sorrow at the scenes of destruction caused by terrorism to the monuments, particularly in Palmyra, in addition to the destruction of residential buildings and infrastructure, wishing Syria to have the ability to overcome the ordeal.
“Syria has a pulse in the heart of every person who loves culture and civilization,” Yang concluded.
