Coordinates: 36°49′47″N 38°00′54″E / 36.82972°N 38.01500°E / 36.82972; 38.01500 Map of Syria in the second millennium BC, showing the location of Carchemish, or "Karkemish." Carchemish or Karkemish was an important ancient capital at times independent but also having been part of the Mitanni, Hittite and Neo Assyrian Empires, now on the frontier between Turkey and Syria. It was the location of an important battle between the Babylonians and Egyptians, mentioned in the Bible. Modern neighbouring cities are Karkamış in Turkey and Jarabulus in Syria ; the original form of the modern toponym seems to have been Djerabis, likely derived from the ancient name of the Hellenistic-Roman settlement Europos.
