Byblos

Ancient Phoenician city (modern Jebeil), 32 km/20 mi north of Beirut, Lebanon. Known to the Assyrians and Babylonians as Gubla, it had a thriving export of cedar and pinewood to Egypt as early as 1500 BC. In Roman times it boasted an amphitheatre, baths, and a temple, and was known for its celebration of the resurrection of Adonis, worshipped as a god of vegetation.
