aram on maps

Upper Mesopotamia, which includes Tur Abdin, Diyarbakir, Edessa, and Harran, is traditionally said to have been known as “Aram.”

Mesopotamia is called Aram-Nahrin, and the mountains of Tur Abdin are known as Mons Masius, named after Mash, the son of Aram, demonstrating the Aramean heritage of the region.
