The Amik, Amuk, or Amuq Valley (Arabic: الأعماق al-A’maq) is located in the southern part of Turkey, in the Hatay Province, close to the city of Antakya (Antioch). It is notable for a series of archaeological sites in the "plain of Antioch".[1] Along with Dabiq in north western Syria, it is believed to be one of the future sites of the battle of Armageddon according to Islamic eschatology.[2][3][4][5][6]
The primary sites of the series are Tell al-Judaidah, Çatalhöyük (Amuq), Tell Tayinat, Tell Kurdu, Alalakh, and Tell Dhahab.[7] Tell Judaidah was surveyed by Robert Braidwood and excavated by C. MacEwan of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago in the 1930s.[8][9]
