Baalbek

For the most part, residents of Ras Baalbek say they feel secure.

Ras Baalbek is just one of a handful of Christian villages in the northern Bekaa Valley not far from the Syrian border.

They were Nature's enormous mockery of the most ambitious architecture of man, the pyramids of Egypt and the platform of Baalbek.

West of Baalbek one of these pillars is to be seen, called the pillar of the maidens, and there is another not far from Acre.

Furthermore, how can we interest ourselves in his fiction of history concerning Baalbek?

Our forces pushed on northwards, meeting with little or no opposition, and occupying Baalbek, Tripolis and Homs.

And one day, when we were pumping out the water he asked me if I thought this was easier than rolling our roofs in Baalbek.
