A few kilometres from Altnbaak are the archaeological remains of ancient Harran, a major commercial, cultural, and religious centre first inhabited in the Early Bronze Age III (3rd millennium BCE) period.
The earliest records of Harran come from the Ebla tablets (c. 2300 BCE). From these, it is known that an early king or mayor of Harran had married an Eblaite princess, Zugalum, who then became "queen of Harran", and whose name appears in a number of documents. It appears that Harran remained a part of the regional Eblaite kingdom for some time thereafter.
