Alalakh (Hittite: Alalaḫ) was an ancient city-state, a late Bronze Age capital in the Amuq River valley of Turkey's Hatay Province. It was occupied from before 2000 BC, when the first palace was built, and likely destroyed in the 12th century BC and never reoccupied. The city contained palaces, temples, private houses and fortifications. Modern Antakya has developed near the site.
The remains of Alalakh have formed an extensive mound; the modern archaeological site is known as Tell Atchana. It was first excavated in the 1930s and 1940s by a British team. A team sponsored by the University of Chicago started surveys in the late 20th century, and has conducted excavations led by K. Aslihan Yener in the early 21st century. She is now leading work sponsored by Mustafa Kemal University and the Turkish government.
History
Alalakh was founded by the Amorites (in the territory of present-day Turkey) during the Middle Bronze Age in the 2nd millennium BC. The first palace was built c. 2000 BC, contemporary with the Third Dynasty of Ur.

All Back
by: Chris BrownOh, if I have a moment, I'd capture that moment
You would be right here next to me
If I had the secret, the secret to your love
I would place the treasure beneath my heart
Lock it all up and throw away the key
I would never give it up
'Cause I was just a fool, a fool for you
When I love you so childishly
And I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all back
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
I want it all, now I want it all back
If there is a green light and it's supposed to turn yellow
Better to the flow, 'cause I know your heart is turning gray
If I had the minutes, I would turn 'em into hours
And make love to your money, not your body instead
I was just a fool, a fool for you
That didn't know what I had until I lost you
Every single moment you turn up here
Instead of dead to me, that everything seemed so clear
And I want it all back
(I gotta have it all)
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, said, I want it all
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
I want it all, now I want it all back
Now anything isn't everything
If everything, everything isn't with you
Now I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
Want it all, now I want it all back
Now I want it all back, now I want it all back
