Comentario/comentario

Alalaḫ está situado en la actualidad en el país de Turquía, pero culturalmente pertenecía a la misma zona que el resto de siro-palestina. Esto es así incluso varios siglos después con los reinos luvio-arameos. Los leones griegos están hablando en general de sus primos orientales, porque uno de los distintivos de la cultura de la zona siria son las esculturas espectaculares de leones como esta de Ain Dara (un reino luvio-arameo del mismo nombre) o Tell Tayinat (identificado posiblemente como Kinaluwa capital del reino luvio de Unqī) o Sam'al/otro (un reino arameo, actual ciudad de Zincirli).

Alalaḫ is placed nowadays inside the territory of the country of Turkey, but culturally it belonged to the same zone of the rest of siro-palestine. This is like that even several centuries after, with the luwian-arameans kingdoms (also incorrectly known as new-hittites). The greek lions are talking in general of its oriental cousins, because one of the distintive of the cultures present in the syrian zone were the spectacular sculptures of lions like this of Ain Dara (a luwian-aramean kingdom of the same name) or Tell Tayinat (maybe identificable with the capital city named Kinaluwa of the luwian kingdom of Unqī) or Sam'al/another (an aramean kingdom, nowaday city of Zincirli).
