Nahr el Kalb
The stela of Nahr el-Kalb, the Lycus or Dog River, sum up the entire history of Lebanon, from High Antiquity to the present, evoking clearly the successive advances of the Pharaonic, Assyro-Babylonian, Greek, Roman, Arab, French and British armies which braved all the obstacles surrounding this difficult and very steep crossing point to carve commemorative stela on the rocks.
Series of commemorative stela erected at the same place in the open air gives a definite picture of all the important stages of the history of Lebanon, from High Antiquity to the present day. These vital witnesses are safeguarded to be inscribed deeply and for ever in the memory of the world.. There are seventeen ancient inscriptions as well as a number of modern ones. The oldest inscription dates back to the days of the Egyptian ruler Rameses II (1279–1212 B.C.).
