The following climate information has been supplied by the Meteorological Office, local tourist offices and other sources and is given as a guide only. Reborn Again To the Lebanese poet Khalil Gibran, Beirut was the city that "died and was reborn a thousand times". It's true that the history of the Lebanon is a perpetual tale of destruction and resurrection, ever since its foundation by the Phoenicians in the 3rd millennium BC. There must surely be more than a tenuous connection between the Phoenicians and the phoenix, the legendary bird said to build its own funeral pyre and rise anew from its ashes. This small strip of land between the mountains and the sea was assailed by wave upon wave of conquerors: Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Franks and Turks. Every conquest brought its share of devastation, but also a promise of regeneration. The proud Phoenicians could never be quashed. Long before the Greeks, they sailed far afield, beyond the confines of the Mediterranean to the west coast of Africa, even to Britain.

My driver, Ahmad, was beaming as, together we stood atop Qalaat Ibn Maani (Ibn Maani's castle), on a hill top overlooking the remains of Palmyra - known to the Arabs as Tadmur - in Syria. The remnants were once thriving desert metropolis, 220 km (134 mi) northeast of Damascus, in Syria, and for centuries inspired romantic recollections by wayfarers and literary men. Looking over them today, it is no wonder they believed only a supernatural being could have conjured such a magnificent metropolis in the middle of a desert.

Extractions: Ancient Craft Traditions Kept a Lost Story Alive by Gregory Jon Harbert Inside the various ancient traditions of art reside keys that often unlock the doors to many mysteries of our past. As we journey farther and farther into the mists of the Celtic world, we discover not an isolated culture, but rather a culture connected to the rest of the world. The treasure map that began this voyage to discovery was created by an anthropologist who was studying the oral traditions of the miners of Cornwall. He recorded traditional songs sung by the tinsmiths there, including: "Joseph was a tin man, Joseph was in the tin trade...". After some investigation, he discovered that the Joseph being referred to was none other than Joseph of Arimathea, great uncle of Jesus Christ, Mary's uncle. Upon further investigation, a rather large pantheon of local oral traditions were discovered. Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy in his "History of England" writes, "The (early) British mines mainly supplied the glorious adornment of Solomon's Temple." Specifically, the aqueducts of Jerusalem built by King Solomon, thousands of miles from England. These aqueducts were made from lead found only in England - Cornwall, specifically. This lead was transporting on large ships, known as 'Hippos,' as long ago as 1,500 B.C. or earlier.

This encompasses the Ancient civilizations of Egypt, Libya and Nubia/Kush, those of the Levantine Coast and Palestine including the Canaanites (Phoenicians, Hebrews/Israelites, Philistines, Arameans, Amorites, and so on) the Hittites, Phrygia, Lydia, the Hurrians and the Kingdom of Mitanni, Urartu, the Scythians, the Cimmerians, Assyria, Babylonia, Sumer, Elam, and the Persians and Medes to mention only a few. Occasionally course content includes modern Bahrain (ancient Dilmun), the southern area of the Saudi Arabian pennisula, and the ancient Indus Valley civilization. The department offers courses in modern and ancient languages as its primary strength. In fluxuating years, Standard Arabic, modern Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish are offered, while the history and culture of the modern historical Middle East is studied within NMC from its inception, through the Medieval Period, to the modern day.
Syria Gate - About Syria - Amrit By Carol Miller See Gwendolyn Leick, Who s Who in the ancient Near east was a continental foothold for the phoenicians (SyroCanaanites See The Art of the middle east, New York http://www.syriagate.com/Syria/about/cities/Tartous/amrit-cm.htm
Extractions: Sun Tzu, The Art of War Amrit's enigmatic cistern, in actual fact a beautiful fountain, nearly square, is presumed to date from the fifth and fourth centuries before Christ, though many consider it much older, the work of a long-vanished cult. It measures exactly 56.48 meters long by 50.49 meters wide; and was enclosed by a princely arcade whose lintels were supported on sturdy and well-worked stone pilasters. In the center stands, to this day, an elaborate stone altar, supposedly, in its time, consecrated to Melkart in his avocation of healer, though it surely had an oracular application as well. Oracles were a common form of healing, through communion with "the powers", or were used as cautionary tales concerning "right conduct", as well as for more politically oriented interests, such as the rights of the monarch, royal policy, even military strategy. Later, in the confusion of migrations in search of water, new pasture lands, new trade routes and new markets, combined with the missionary zeal of any incoming populace, the gods and cult-figures began to merge. Melkart, originally a Greek deity associated with curative powers, became identified, for the coastal Phoenicians, with the Egyptian healer Eshmun, and for later Greeks, more attuned to conquest than curing, with Hercules. But was Amrit Phoenician or Greek? It might have been a colony of the ubiquitous Arameans, an Aryan offshoot, who are presumed to have come from the Caspian, or perhaps the Indus Valley, ultimately to dominate western Syria. (See: Gregory L. Possehl, Indus Age, The Beginnings, Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania, 1999.)

Athens University, Athens, Greece opening Lecture, Athens MBC Meeting, November 1991 SUMMARY. An account is given of the contributions made to Mediterranean culture by all the peoples that have populated the various countries, at different moments of history. Many favourable circumstances have contributed to this, especially the privileged geographical location of the Mediterranean area between 3 continents, the mild and healthful climate, the inheritance of important civilizations of Mesopotamia, India and China, the facile communication by maritime routes, as well as the invention of writing.

Extractions: With New Englanders for parents, I grew up in Newton Centre, Massachusetts. I had (still do!) a twin sister named Lee. We were quite different: she was outgoing and sociable, while I was shy and liked to do things by myself. We fought a bit as kidsbut we're great friends today. Our dad, a professor of English at Northeastern University in Boston, often invited students to our home. Being part of the Northeastern community was a big part of our lives. Our mom, a home economics teacher, made our clothes and excellent pies. We were lucky kids.
