Both were built by the Kurdish Ayyubid Dynasty in the mid-14th century as the region rebounded from the Mongol invasion and occupation of Anatolia. During relocation of major monuments in the new city, royal graves were excavated from the Süleyman Mosque mausoleum and its minaret and ancillary sections of wall containing a fountain were cut and moved. However, the majority of Süleyman Mosque as well as the entirety of the Koç Mosque were buried under earth and capped with concrete before being inundated in 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f218e32b8ddefb517bf002/1605237273983-G9IBU5BHMY08819YAAZC/Hasankeyf+%288+of+20%29.jpg Hasankeyf - Beehives line the foundations of centuries-old palaces and urban forms in the Sâlihiyye Gardens The Sâlihiyye Garden district rose to prominence when it became the capitol of the Sokmen branch of Artukids in the 12th century.

Partially excavated by Turkish and Japanese teams, the site’s round living and cooking structures can be seen alongside stone mortar’s for processing grains. These sites are also characterized by burials beneath house floors in the hocker position - a body laid on their side in the fetal position. It was flooded in 2019, with very little of the site excavated. In my opinion, it is Hasankeyf's most important loss. At other points along the Tigris River, similar early Neolithic sites were lost including Gusir Höyük, Körtik Tepe, and Çattepe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f218e32b8ddefb517bf002/1605064193990-G316E98K1TXZGSL8UYWS/6D3A1491.jpg Hasankeyf - Hasankeyf in March 2017 One of several classic views of Hasankeyf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f218e32b8ddefb517bf002/1606978290988-SB24QQA2GG946JYZTUUL/DJI_0273.jpg Hasankeyf - The Hasankeyf Citadel By the 4th century CE, Hasankeyf had become an important Roman outpost on the edge of the Persian Empire.

The Christian character of Hasankeyf peaked in the 5th century when it became the Nestorian bishop’s see under the Byzantine Empire. After the city fell to the Arabs in 738, Christians were recorded as being the majority in Hasankeyf until conflict in 1915 saw the Kurds kill their Christian neighbors or force their conversion to Islam.

The new city currently has no such trees and likely has upland soils without rich river nutrients that have helped Hasankeyf’s gardens achieve their historic bounty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f218e32b8ddefb517bf002/1574652404860-X969JLJ3T6FF9UFBF0NX/Hasankeyf+%2820+of+20%29.jpg Hasankeyf - A family moves their possessions from their home in old Hasankeyf About 3,500 residents were forced to move from their homes. Residents were reimbursed for the old homes at about half the rate per square foot of the cost of the homes in New Hasankeyf, meaning that almost all are now burdened by many thousands of lira of debt. Additionally, residents who were unmarried or working outside Hasankeyf at the 2017 deadline did not qualify for housing in the new city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f218e32b8ddefb517bf002/1574651914434-ZUPX7DK1DIJVSYL6ABHN/Hasankeyf+%2810+of+20%29.jpg Hasankeyf - A cardak from one of the Hasankeyf's riverside cafes rests downriver of the city.
