'''Тель-Фехерия''' (Тель-Эль-Фехерия) — городище на территории Сирийской Арабской Республики. Предположительно на его месте находилась Вашшуканни — столица хурритского государства [[Митанни]].
Городище стоит на реке [[Хабур]].
'''Tell el Fakhariya''', or '''Tell el Fecheriyeh''' with variants, is an ancient site in the [[Khabur River]] basin in the [[Al Hasakah Governorate]] of northern [[Syria]]. It is the alleged site of '''Washukanni''', the capital of [[Mitanni]].
In the area exists several mounds called:
* '''Tell el Fakhariya'''
* '''Ras el 'Ayn'''
* '''Tell Halaf''' - see the separate [[Tell Halaf]] article about the Neolithic site and the Halafian culture, and the [[Aramean]] and Neo-[[Assyria]]n city of [[Guzana]].
== The identification of Tell el Fakhariya with Washukanni ==
The Neo-Assyrian city of '''Sikan''' is identified with the Hurrian capital of Mitanni; '''Washukanni'''. The name is believed to be a later Assyrianized version from its Hurrian, or Indo-Aryan, original into ''(Wa-)Sikan(-ni)''. The site has not been fully excavated and no discoveries from the Hurrian occupation of the site have yet been found.
== Washukanni ==
Washukanni, or ''Waššukanni'' (also spelled '''Washshukanni''', '''Wassuganni''', '''Vasukhani''', or a combination of these variants) was the capital of the [[Hurrian]] kingdom of [[Mitanni]] from c.[[1500 BC]]. The name is similar to the [[Sanskrit]] phrase for "a mine of wealth."
Washukanni flourished as a capital city for two centuries. The city is known to have been sacked by the [[Hittites]] under [[Suppiluliumas I]] who installed a Hurrian vassal king, [[Shattiwaza]]. The city was sacked again by the [[Assyria]]n king [[Adad-nirari I]] around [[1290 BC]], but very little else is known of its history.
== Sikan ==
The ancient Neo-Assyrian city of '''Sikan''' is on the southern edge of the mound at '''Ras el 'Ayn'''. Its location is near the modern-day Tell el Fakhariya, where a famous Neo-Assyrian statue of Adadit'i, the king of [[Guzana]] and Sikan was discovered in the 1970s.
