Amnatos

NoteAmnatos

The Nur Mountains (Turkish: Nur Dağ ları, "Mountains of Holy Light"), formerly known as
Alma-Dağ ,,(Kurdish: Çiyayê Gewr, "The White-grayish Mountain"), the ancient Amanus
(Ancient Greek: Ἁμανό ς), medieval Black Mountain or Arabic Jabal al-Lukkam, is a mountain
range in the Hatay Province of south-central Turkey, which starts south of the Taurus
Mountains (and is linked with it), south of the Ceyhan river (old name: Pyramus), runs
roughly parallel to the Gulf of İskenderun (old name: Gulf of Issus) (İskenderun was called
Alexandria of Cilicia) and ends in the Mediterranean coast between the Gulf of İskenderun
and the Orontes (Asi) river mouth.
The range has about 100 miles (200 kilometers) in length and reaches a maximum elevation
of 2,240 m (7,350 ft) and divides the coastal region of Cilicia from Antioch and inland Syria
making a natural border between Asia Minor (Anatolia), in the southeast region, and the
rest of Southwest Asia. The highest peak is Bozdağ Dağ ı. A major pass through the
mountains known as the Belen Pass (Syrian Gates) is located near the town of Belen.
Another pass known as the Amanic Gates (Bahçe Pass) lies farther north.
The specific term "Mount Amanus" is referred to by ancient writers. In the Middle Ages, it
was called the Black Mountain in Byzantine Greek, Armenian, Syriac and Latin. There were
numerous Armenian, Melkite, Jacobite, Georgian, and Catholic monasteries and hermits in
the mountains. On account of this, it was called Gâ vur Dağ (Mount of Infidels) by the Turks.
In 1028, the Emperor Romanos III, disturbed by the number of "heretical" (i.e., Syriac and
Armenian) monks in the Black Mountain, tried to draft them for his campaign against
Aleppo.
