Shmemis
Shmemis also ash-Shmemis, ash-Shmamis) is a castle located 5 km north west of Salamiyah and 30 km south east from Hama. The castle was first built, on top of an extinct volcano, in the 1st century BC by Sampsiceramus I, the first Priest King of the Royal family of Emesa. Most of the original structure was subsequently destroyed by an earthquake. It was later destroyed by the Persian king Khosrau II in AD 613. It was rebuilt in AD 1229 by Assad ud-Din Shirkoh, an Ayyubid governor of Homs.
Al-Salamiyah
Salamiyah is a city and district in western Syria, in the Hama Governorate. It is located 33 km southeast of Hama, 45 km northeast of Homs. The city is nicknamed the "mother of Cairo" because it was the birthplace of the second Fatamid Caliph Muhammad al-Qaim Bi-Amrillah, who's dynasty would eventually establish the city of Cairo, and the early headquarters of his father Ubayd Allah al-Mahdi Billah who founded the Fatamid Caliphate.
Royal family of Emesa
The royal family of Emesa, also known as the Emesani Dynasty or the Sempsigerami of Emesa, sometimes known as The Sampsiceramids were a ruling Roman client dynasty of priest-kings in Emesa, Syria Province. They can be viewed both as Arameans and Arabs.
Chmemis Castle
Chmemis Castle is located at 5 km northwest of Salamiyah city in Syria, on an isolated mountain, which is part of the mountain range of al-Ola. The first construction dates back to the Chmemisgram family princes who ruled the city of Homs in late Hellenistic and early Roman period. This fortress has survived until the Persians had destroyed and burnt like all the fortifications in the Middle East that they took. The castle was rebuilt by the Ayyubid Cherkouh.
