  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

Our understanding of Sumerian writing, lexicography, grammar, literature, agriculture, and socio-economic institutions all bear his deep imprint. He was a mentor, teacher, and friend to two generations of Sumerologists, Assyriologists, and archaeologists. It remains the greatest honor of my career to have come to Chicago to replace Miguel after he retired in 2001. Born outside of Barcelona in 1926 and trained in Paris, Miguel came to the US in 1958 to take the position of associate researcher under Samuel Noah Kramer at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania.

  • Phoenician-Byblos.Pdf
    BYBLOS مسار الفينيقيني THE PHOENICIANS' ROUTE بيبلوس INTRODUCTION Jbeil (ancient Byblos) is known for its historical port that hosted the trade between Ancient Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean. Byblos is considered one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and, according to the Phoenician writer Sanchuniathon, Byblos is the first city of the Phoenicians. Today, it is a typical Middle Eastern city (with its enchanting souq and Medieval port near the Phoe- nician port) visited mainly for its archaeological area, accessible through a castle built in the 12th century with stone blocks retrieved from Roman buildings. It preserves the remains of the ancient Amorite city, the famous Temple of Obelisks of the Phoenician era and a Roman amphitheatre. Byblos is a heritage site inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List (1984).

  • Report on Mission to Byblos (Lebanon)
    Report on Mission to Byblos (Lebanon) 12-17 November 2001 Demetrios Michaelides 49-51 rue de la Fédération - 75015 Paris - France - Tel + 33 1 45 67 67 70 - Fax + 33 1 45 66 06 22 1 Reactive Monitoring Mission to Byblos (Report prepared by Demetrios Michaelides, January/February 2002) Preamble On 11 July 2001, Mrs Regina Durighello (Assistant coordinator, ICOMOS) forwarded to me (electronically) a letter from Mr Jean-Louis Luxen (Secretary General of ICOMOS), with which, he invited me to carry out, on behalf of ICOMOS, a five-day mission "to examine the state of preservation of the archaeological mound and the presentation of the Byblos (Lebanon) World Heritage Site". The letter also defined the terms of the mission and fixed it at some time "before the end of September 2001". The letter arrived by post on 30 July and on the same day I wrote to both Mr Luxen and Mr Henry Cleere, accepting the invitation. After a request from Mr Frédéric Husseini (Director General of Antiquities of Lebanon), the time of the visit was postponed and then eventually fixed for November. The Mission took place between 12-17 November, and, during my stay in the Lebanon, I was greatly assisted by Mr Jo Kreidi (Director of Projects UNESCO Regional Office), who arranged all appointments and practicalities, and Miss Samar Karam (Archaeologist of the Direction Générale des Antiquités - hitherto DGA). I visited Byblos and Jbeit every day and Miss Karam accompanied me everywhere (Mrs Tania Zaven, the archaeologist working in Byblos being away on maternity leave). She was untiring and willing to pass on to me her first-hand knowledge of the monuments of Byblos and the way of life in Jbeil, the modern town that has succeeded it.

  • FAO MISSION to ASSESS the IMPACT of the FINANCIAL CRISIS on AGRICULTURE in the REPUBLIC of LEBANON 21 September 2020 IMPORTANT
    SPECIAL REPORT FAO MISSION TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS ON AGRICULTURE IN THE REPUBLIC OF LEBANON 21 September 2020 IMPORTANT This report is based on information valid at the time of its finalization in April 2020. Since then, many economic and social developments have taken place in the country. On 4 August 2020, a devastating explosion occurred in the Beirut Port, leaving some 200 people dead and over 6 000 people injured. The blast destroyed parts of the port including the bulk terminal and main grain silo, ruined neighbourhoods in the vicinity and caused material damages in the greater Beirut area. The explosion added another dimension to a multi-faceted crisis Lebanon had already been facing, as the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the deterioration of economic conditions, with unemployment and poverty increasing and inflation rates skyrocketing. In July 2020 (last information available), consumer prices increased by over 112 percent compared to July 2019, while the food price inflation reached over 330 percent year on year. Nevertheless, the current report contains a valid description of the sector that can still be useful to inform policy decisions and provide background information on the agricultural sector in Lebanon.

  • Jbeil (Byblos)
    8.0 JBEIL (BYBLOS) JBEIL (BYBLOS) 8.0 Geographic Context Located 38 km from Beirut, along the Mediterranean coast, the city of Jbeil sits halfway between Tripoli and the capital. The city itself is part of the caza of Jbeil, which includes 84 other villages subdivided into 20 municipalities, 13 of which have formed an administrative federation. The municipal boundaries of the city cover 75 hectares and include an estimated 20,000 inhabitants, only half of which are registered in the area (Phares, 2000). Covering an area of 10 hectares (10,000 km2), the ancient core of the city is the most well preserved inhabited cultural site in Lebanon today (see Map 1). Map 1 Jbeil 2001 174 8.1 Overview of Obstacles to Cultural Preservation and Urban Development Cultural heritage and tourism development in Jbeil has to address several of the problems which characterize the national scene; that is the lack of institutional and legislative frameworks, the absence of a multi-sectoral approach, deficiency in financial and human resources, deteriorating urban environments and complex tenure conditions etc. Locally, other issues unique to Jbeil will pose a distinct challenge/advantage to any project. Some of these characteristics are: • The historic city is well preserved. • Very low incidence of residence in the city. • Suffers from poor visitor turnover. • Surrounding populations rarely frequent the historic core. • Current plans to extend the port could threaten the environmental and historic character of the ancient core. • The caza of Jbeil functions almost as a distant suburb of the capital. • Jbeil is a regional node in rural urban migration especially from the area of Batroun.

Scott: The Phoenicians and the Formation of the Western World Comparative Civilizations Review 25 The Phoenicians and the Formation of the Western World1 John C. Scott A small maritime region, Phoenicia lay on the Eastern Mediterranean coast. The Phoenicians, who were Semites, emerged as a distinct Canaanite group around 3200 B.C. Hemmed in by the Lebanon Mountains, their first cities were Byblos, Sidon, Tyre, and Aradus.2 Scholars agree that there are two sources of the Western tradition: Judeo-Christian doctrine and ancient Greek intellectualism. More generally, there is recognition that Western civilization is largely built atop the Near Eastern civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. A basic question arises, however, as to which ancient people specifically prepared the way for the West to develop. While early Aegean cultures are often viewed as the mainspring, assessment of the growing literature reveals that the city-states of Phoenicia stimulated (Bronze Age) and fostered (Iron Age) Western civilization.
