Tyre ｜ Located on the southern coast of Lebanon, 83 km south of Beirut, the antique town of Tyre was the great Phoenician city that reigned over the seas and founded prosperous colonies such as Cadiz and Carthage and according to legend, was the place of the discovery of purple pigment.
Baalbek im Libanon
The platform of the Baalbek temple (Beirut) was made before romans and greeks and it was made with stones that weight thousands of tons (more than 1200 tons each) that were moved there, elevated from the ground and moved one over the other to realize the platform itself. We don't know how. Nothing in the world even TODAY could move these stones.

This map of modern Lebanon reveals some of the continuity between ancient Phoenicia and the modern Lebanese state. The northern-most Phoenician city-state was Arvad, just a bit beyond the northern borders of Lebanon; the southern-most Phoenician city-state was Akko, known today as Acre, and it lies just inside the Israeli border. The boundaries of ancient Phoenicia thus looked like a slightly extended version of modern Lebanon.
