French researcher Jean-Baptiste Yon of Lyon’s National Center for Archaeological Research has begun work on studying Greek and Latin texts in Palmyra, Syria, the Syrian Arab News Agency reports.
Yon affirmed the importance of these texts in introducing Palmyra’s civilization and its cultural impact on east and west to scholars and scientists.
Yon pointed out that Palmyra is considered an important center for similar studies, with it having been a melting pot that gathered most of the world’s cultural and civilized currents during the first three AD centuries.
