Quote:I must insist on passing this one over to Jona -- I would never have thought of Hallstatt.That's very gentlemanlike, so I will reply with a VERY easy question. This is a place in Lebanon. Bronze Age walls to the left, remains of a Crusader tower near the harbor, in the background. Where can this be? And which famous ancient visitor had to wait on this very spot for a month?

I'll guess Ancient Tyre with an impatient Alexander the Great on the shore.

Quote:Oh damn... not Tyre but... Antioch maybe?Somewhere in between. Sidon is 35 km north of Tyre; Antioch 350.

Byblos?
Maybe Arados?

Quote:The new photo was taken about hundred kilometers to the north.... which would be round about Beirut (ancient Berytus)? I suppose Titus must have hung around here in November AD 70 before returning to Rome in triumph. But I have a nagging feeling that he is not the person you mean. :unsure:

Byblos is about 100 km north...

Quote:Didn't Evan mention Byblos about three posts back?Yes. Sorry Byron. (Possible explanation: I have a fever.) Over to you Evan!

Wohoo Finally, now i have to come up with an obscure archaeological site! Give me a little bit...
EDIT: This one isn't obscure, but the best i can do. Here's a hint: I like walls. [attachment=6227]wall.jpg[/attachment]
