The Tomb of Suleyman Shah is the supposed burial place of Suleyman Shah, the grandson of Seljuk Bey . He supposedly drowned in the Euphrates in modern-day Syria and an Ottoman tomb in or near Qal'at Ja'bar has been associated with Suleyman Shah.[1] In accordance with Article 9 of the Treaty of Ankara (1921) signed between France and Turkey, the tomb has been considered Turkish territory.[2] When the area where the tomb was located was flooded by Lake Assad, the reservoir of the Tabqa Dam, the tomb was moved to a new location north of Qal'at Ja'bar.[3]
