"Le château est top. La ville de Byblos fait un peu « fake », mais outre l’aspect parc d’attraction touristique l’endroit est mignon et la plage publique correcte pour faire un plouf. "

"UNESCO World Heritage Byblos (or Jbeil) is one;of the oldest cities in the world, with a history that dates back around 7,000 ears. It was a thriving port and a hugely important city in the Phoenician Empire. The Phoenicians (also known as Canaanites) came from what is now Lebanon, and their empire expanded throughout the Middle East and beyond; among the things they gave to the world was the root of the Greek, Etruscan and Western alphabets. Since the Phoenicians. Byblos has been inhabited by representatives of some of the world's great cultures. The city has been claimed by Egyptians, Persians, Ottomans, Arabs, Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines. Consequently, archeological excavations have brought forth a wealth of treasures from all these disparate cultures. In many ways, the study of Byblos can be seen as the study of human civilization. As each new culture arrived at Byblos, it introduced different rules and religions. Temples were sacked and recreated as a shrine to whichever god the newest settlers worshipped. One of the most stunning ruined temples, littered as it is with a huge number of old obelisks, has been named the Temple of the Obelisks. It must have once been a truly majestic temple; today it is a truly majestic ruin. Other remarkable ruins at the site include the Phoenicians' necropolis, a 4,000-year-old Egyptian temple, a Roman amphitheater, and a twelfth-century crusader's castle. In 1860 a Frenchman called Ernest Renan began excavating the site of the old city, but the bulk of the work was carried out during the twentieth century, with a number of prominent archeologists sharing the work over five decades of digs that began in the 1920s. Amazingly, Byblos has managed to escape the worst battles of Lebanon's recent war, although it remains at risk from bombs for as long as the people of Lebanon remain in danger."
