Norias of Hama : ウィキペディア英語版 | Norias of Hama
The Norias of Hama ((アラビア語:نواعير حماة)) are a number of norias ("wheels of pots") along the Orontes River in the city of Hama, Syria. Only seventeen of the original norias remain. They are mostly unused now and serve an aesthetic purpose. They were called "the most splendid norias ever constructed".〔Needham and Ronan, 1995, p.281.〕 The norias of Hama were submitted as a tentative World Heritage Site by the Syrian Arab Republic in June 1999.〔http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1291〕 ==History==
The earliest evidence for norias in Hama suggests they were developed during the Byzantine era, although none of the norias in Hama today precede the Ayyubid period. However, a mosaic found at Apamea dating to 469 AD pictures a noria very similar to those at Hama, suggesting they may have earlier origins. Now only 17 norias remain, unused.〔Ring, Berney, Salkin, La Boda, Watson, and Schellinger, 1996, p.137-138.〕
