Archaeological Discoveries In Lebanon
Archaeology or archeology is the scientific study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of Artifact (archaeology), artifacts, architecture, biofact (archaeology), biofacts or ecofacts, archaeological site, sites, and cultural landscapes. Archaeology can be considered both a social science and a branch of the humanities. It is usually considered an independent academic discipline, but may also be classified as part of anthropology (in North America – the four-field approach), history or geography. Archaeologists study human prehistory and history, from the development of the first stone tools at Lomekwi in East Africa 3.3 million years ago up until recent decades. Archaeology is distinct from palaeontology, which is the study of fossil remains. Archaeology is particularly important for learning about prehistoric societies, for which, by definition, there are no written records. Prehistory includes ove ...

5th-century BC Artifacts
The 5th century is the time period from 401 ( CDI) through 500 ( D) ''Anno Domini'' (AD) or Common Era (CE) in the Julian calendar. The 5th century is noted for being a period of migration and political instability throughout Eurasia. It saw the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, which came to an end in 476 AD. This empire had been ruled by a succession of weak emperors, with the real political might being increasingly concentrated among military leaders. Internal instability allowed a Visigoth army to reach and ransack Rome in 410. Some recovery took place during the following decades, but the Western Empire received another serious blow when a second foreign group, the Vandals, occupied Carthage, capital of an extremely important province in Africa. Attempts to retake the province were interrupted by the invasion of the Huns under Attila. After Attila's defeat, both Eastern and Western empires joined forces for a final assault on Vandal North Africa, but this campaign was a s ...

Ba'alat, Lady Of Byblos
Baʻalat or Baʻalat Gebal ( phn, 𐤁𐤏𐤋𐤕 𐤂𐤁𐤋 ''BʿLT GBL'', literally "Lady of Byblos"), was the goddess of the city of Byblos, Phoenicia in ancient times. She was sometimes known to the Greeks as Baaltis or Atargatis. Baʻalat Gebal was generally identified with the pan- Semitic goddess ʻAshtart (Astarte) and, like ʻAshtart, equated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite. However, Sanchuniathon presents Baʻalat Gebal as a sister of ʻAshtart and Asherah, and calls Baʻalat Gebal by the name ''Dione'', meaning that he identified her either with Asherah or with the mother of Greek Aphrodite, the Titan goddess Dione. According to Sanchuniathon, Baaltis/Dione, like Asherah and ʻAshtart, was the sister of 'El and they had daughters together. He states that it was El who gave the city of Byblos to her. Baʻalat Gebal was distinguished in iconography from ʻAshtart or other aspects of ʻAshtart or similar goddesses by two, tall, upright feathers in her headdress ...
