  Atil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atil, also spelled Itil (Turkic for "Big River"), was a name of the Volga River and of the capital of Khazaria from the middle of the 8th century until towards the end of the 10th century.
Atil was located along the Atil (Volga) delta at the northwestern corner of the Caspian Sea.
Al-Biruni (mid-1000s) reported that Atil was again in ruins, and did not mention the later city of Saqsin which was built nearby, so it is possible that this new Atil was only destroyed in the middle of the eleventh century.
