Ras Baalbek is 500 metres west of a Neolithic rock shelter called Ras Baalbek.
To the east there are ruins that are alleged to be the remains of a Roman aqueduct. Inhabitants of the village have confirmed it was once called "Connaya," suggesting a link to the ancient settlement of Conna, mentioned in the work of Antonius. Notable features include the monastery of "Our Lady of Ras Baalbek" (Deir Saidat ar-Ras) and two Byzantine churches. One church is in the centre of the village and the other lies by the Roman aqueduct.
In 1838, Eli Smith noted Ras Baalbek's population as being predominantly Catholic Christian.
In 2014, the war with ISIS in the nearby village of Arsal resulted in the residents of Ras Baalbek forming a militia to protect the village. The militias were allied to the Lebanese Armed Forces. In September 2016 the Lebanese Army attacked Islamic State positions near Ras Baalbek.

Brissa: The inscriptions are written in forms of columns from top to bottom (a scetch of these columns can be found in the pictures at the end of the article). For the most part of the inscriptions, it speaks about Nebuchadnezzar’s military campaigns, religious processions, and public works in Babylon.
Mentioning Lebanon in the inscriptions reflect the intentions of Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest - the exploitation of the natural resources and the building of roads to gain ready access to them.
The king also mixes his political aims with a “concern for the welfare” of the locals.
Here is the part where Lebanon is mostly mentioned in the reliefs:
“On that day, Lebanon, the mountain of cedars, the luxuriant forest of Marduk (the patron god of Babylon) of sweet smell, whose excellent cedars whichnot …. for the cultic place of another god had not been taken for the (palace) of another king. I cut (with my pure hands) and - Marduk the king had called me (to bring this into effect) - (cedars) which were lift for a palace of a ruler, a king … heaven and earth, (Lebanon) where a foreign enemy had exercised rulership, and whose yield (the enemy) had taken away by force, so its people had fled, had taken refuge far away.

Very successful program ! Congratulations. If I may just make one comment :). My heart ached for the poor كديشة though. :( . Does she need to have her face covered like that? Isn’t it enough that she is strapped with such a short rein and must keep going round and round for hours? I really felt sorry for her. Maybe you can use your program to raise awareness on issues like empathy towards animals. But thanks again for a great program.

Mud brick not so good unless it’s fire resistant i suppose. My Lebanese parents moved to a town outside of Melbourne vic 1970 and mother was pregnant with me. Around midnight or thereafter the next door house engulfed in flames 🔥 because of mud brick. The hot water unit was hard up against the outside mud brick wall. My father initially thought his own house was on fire 🔥 because of the intensity of the flames The house was completely destroyed very quickly.

[@cynthiabolanis255]

You mentioned the 500 maronites in Baalbek. Are there any Orthodox Christians left in Lebanon or have they all immigrated to other countries

[@GeorgeLahout]

There are so many but immigration is on the rise in Lebanon as this country is heavily being affected by the foreign policies of the others . Hopefully one day all lebanese abroad including myself will come back and make an impact :)
