Nebuchadmezzar's
Pillars
(105 Km from Chtaura)
Located seven to eight kilometers beyond Hermel along the road
after Sharbine village, are two inscriptions of Nebuchadnezzar
engraved on a hollowed-out niche on the rock. There is one on
each side of the wadi through which the road passes. The
inscriptions, which both have the same text, are also
duplicated at Dog River north of Beirut.
The text tells of this famous Babylonian
king's conquests in Lebanon. |
