Meet the Giant 🙋🏻♂️
Colossus of Byblos
In the 4th. millenium B.C. Byblos / Jbeil was the most prominent settlement in today's Lebanon. Strong commercial and political relations with the ancient Egyptian Empire have been documented back to that period. This limestone colossus, unearthed in Byblos in 1926 but still to be dated precisely, bears testimony to the influence of Egypt in ancient Byblos.
