About Doliche
Dülük, also known as Dolikhe or Doliche (Ancient Greek: Δολίχη; Armenian: Տլուք, romanized: Tlukʿ), or Tulupa, is an ancient city located in the Şehitkamil district of Gaziantep, in the neighborhood that bears the same name. Dülük is considered the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in Turkey. Artifacts from the Copper Age have been discovered here, along with evidence of some of the earliest known mathematical calculations.
Throughout history, the city changed hands numerous times, being ruled in succession by the Hittites, Medes, Assyrians, Persians, and Alexander the Great. The foundation of a nearby city, Antiochia ad Taurum (present-day Gaziantep), gradually diminished Dülük’s importance, leading to its current form.
