Eğil Barrage

The rich historical background of the Eğil District and its hosting of various civilizations is quite fascinating. These historical treasures await discovery before being submerged under the waters of the Dicle Dam Lake. The district seems to have a rich potential in terms of archaeological remains and historical structures that bear the traces of diverse civilizations.

The legends suggesting the presence of tombs containing the remains of 8 prophets and saints within Eğil underline the religious and cultural significance of the region. Furthermore, the existence of royal tombs from different periods indicates the strategic and cultural importance of the Eğil District in the past.

Among the archaeological remains found in the region, ancient settlements, temples, fortifications, and other structures can be identified. These remnants provide significant evidence of how Eğil has been influenced and inhabited by various civilizations throughout history.

However, with the rise of the waters of the Dicle Dam Lake, these historical remnants may have been submerged underwater. This situation presents a great opportunity for archaeologists and historians in the region for extensive research and exploration. The discovery and investigation of this area could shed further light on the history and cultural heritage of the region.
