Driven by their desire for trade and the acquisition of such commodities as silver from Spain, gold from Africa, and tin from the Scilly Isles, the Phoenicians sailed far and wide, even beyond the Mediterranean's traditional safe limits of the Pillars of Hercules and into the Atlantic. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/897/the-phoenicians---master-mariners/ #History #Aegean #Baalbek #Byblos

The temple complex of #Baalbek, located in the Bekaa Valley/#Lebanon. The breathtaking site contains some of the largest #Roman temples ever built. The so-called Bacchus temple is one of the best preserved temples of the Roman period.
It's UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984 and one of the most amazing sites I have ever been to.
