History Geography Politics Attractions ... Visas Museums Getting There Getting Around National Museum The National Museum of Beirut is a must on every visitor's itinerary as it contains priceless items of different civilizations and examples of the earliest alphabetical writings. The museum houses today collections from the Prehistoric era, Bronze and Iron age, Hellenistic period, Roman period, Byzantine period, and Arab conquest Mamluk period. Visitors today can discover 1,300 archeological artifacts spread over two floors. Priceless large stone artifacts are confined to the ground floor which exhibits 75 large stone objects from sarcophagi, statues, mosaics, stelae . . . The hall in the basement houses the large Ford Collection of 27 anthropoid sarcophagi. The museum's story goes back to the 1920's when a central collection point was needed for archaeological finds. Work on the handsome building, designed in a neo-pharaonic style, was begun in 1930 and completed in 1937. When it opened in May 1943 it displayed antiquities from excavations in Beirut, Sidon, and Tyre. Further discoveries around the country added more material and over the next three decades the museum served as one of Lebanon's most important cultural institutions.

HISTORY of LEBANON T he first written artifacts from the ancient Lebanon tell us about the first known occupants of the land, Phoenicians. As long as 5000 years ago, people known also as Canaanites of the Bible were living here. Ancient Greeks called them Phoenicians. They were living in cities like Byblos, Sidon and Tyre and involving with commercial and maritime activities. These three cities were among the most important port-cities of the ancient times. Tyre was considered to be the most important of the Phoenician city-states. The ancient people of the city built a business empire nearly 3000 years ago. They founded Carthage in the 9th century B.C. and reached the Straits of Gibraltar. They colonized part of Cyprus, Rhodes and the Aegean Islands. They founded Tashish, a great commercial colony, on the coast of Spain. After reaching most remote parts of the Mediterranean region, they sailed around Africa. Starting from the Gulf of Aqaba they returned to Egypt. E gyptian domination of the Phoenician cities started in about 1500 B.C. and continued for many centuries. Only there was a period during which the Hittites, an Indo-European civilization from Anatolia, dominated the areas covering Syria and Lebanon. After a short period the Egyptians took over the control of Lebanon again. A s the Egyptian domination ceased to exist, Phoenicia enjoyed a period of independence. This was interrupted by the Assryians. This Assryian domination was very brutal. The relative prosperity came back only after the Persian king Cyrus' conquering of Phoenicia in 538 B.C. The Phoenician fleet became a major weapon in the hands of Persian kings to conquer the rest of the Mediterranean region during the following centuries.

Alexander the Great The Cradle of Western Civilization The civilization of ancient Greece flowered more than 2500 years ago but it influences the way we live today. Greece is a peninsula in southeastern Europe. The people of the region attempted to explain the world through the laws of nature. They made important discoveries in science. They developed democracy, where people govern themselves rather than being ruled by a king. The Greeks also valued beauty and imagination. They wrote many stories and plays that continue to be performed today. The ancient Greeks developed a great deal of what we take for granted . This is why Greece is often known as the Cradle of Western Civilization. The people of ancient Greece could not farm most of their mountainous, rocky land, so they became excellent sailors who traveled to distant lands. The Greeks learned the alphabet from the Phoenicians, a sea faring people from modern day Syria and Lebanon. The mountainous land also meant that it was difficult to invade Greek lands.

Contact Us By Donna Cameron Writing, an essential trait of civilization, is thought to have been introduced to the western world with the invention of a wedge shaped character system, "cuneiform" (cuneus, in Latin, means wedge) by the Sumerians, c.4000 B.C. The Sumerians were an ancient people who inhabited the marshes of the Persian Gulf, at the southern end of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This ancient world is also known by historians as the "cradle of civilization" or the “Fertile Crescent". It included land which has become the modern Middle East nations of Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. From about 1100 B.C. the first Phoenician cities appeared in what is now Lebanon, on the Mediterranean Sea. On their travels, merchants of ancient Phoenicia (c.1100-700 B.C.) needed a simplified system of writing to keep their business records. Cuneiform was much too cumbersome for the fast-paced Phoenician traders, with it's 600+ symbols. To improve their world trade transactions and thus increase their wealth and power, the Phoenicians discovered a way to keep records using just 22 written symbols, c.900 B.C. Soon, their writing system was carried to trading centers throughout the Mediterranean world. The Greeks and Romans later modified the shapes of the original 22 letters and added 4 others, creating the alphabet we use today. The word "alphabet" comes from the first two letters of the Phoenician alphabet, "aleph" and "beth".

This period encompasses four main eras: 1. The “Dark Age” 1200-911 BCE 2. The Neo-Assyrian Empire 911-612 BCE 3. The Neo-Babylonian Empire 612-539 BCE 4. The Persian or Achaemenian Empire 539-331 BCE During the first period there was no “great power” in the Near East or Mediterranean This was a time of small, local kingdoms.
