Nahr el-Kalb

From ArchaeoWiki

Nahr el-Kalb (Arabic: نهر الكلب‎, the el-Kalb River, or, the "Dog River"; various alternative transliterations) is a river in the modern state of Lebanon, running for some 19 miles from a spring near the Jeita Grotto to the Mediterranean Sea, some 13 km (8 miles) north of Beirut.

The headland at the mouth of the river represents an important archaeological location (referred to by the same name), in that various military commanders and conquerers have erected monuments to their endeavours in the prominent location.

in 2005, the Nahr el-Kalb Stelae were listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World register [1].
