Part 8 Magicians of the Gods ...The Gates of the Sun ...The Place of Creation

Good afternoon, couple of chapters from Graham Hancock's Magicians of the Gods...
...Baalbek remains very much on my mind the next day as we drive the magnificent coastline around Jounieh Bay heading 38 kilometers (23.6 miles) north to Byblos, the ancient Phoenician port that claims, with some justification, to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. Archaeologists have established that it was occupied as early as 8800 BC, 1 while Göbekli Tepe still functioned. 2 By 5000 BC, Byblos was a flourishing, stable settlement that has never since been without human population. 3 By 3000 BC, when it was known as Gubla or Gebel, it had grown to become the key port and city of the ancient Canaanite coast. 4 It was the Greeks who later called it Byblos, when it served as the center of a lucrative papyrus trade with Egypt (bublos is the Greek word for papyrus). 5 Likewise the reader will recall from Chapter Thirteen that “Phoenician” was the Greek name for the Canaanites and that the Phoenicians referred to themselves as Canaanites. For simplicity’s sake, I will continue to use the terms “Phoenician” and “Canaanite” interchangeably here and continue to refer to ancient Gubla/Gebel as Byblos.
As we pull into Byblos with its street cafés and palms and the bright Mediterranean lapping at its beautiful, crescent-shaped harbor, what’s on my mind about Baalbek is a question. Why didn’t the Romans choose to build the greatest and most spectacular temple in their entire empire in Rome itself? Or failing that, if for some reason they felt compelled to build the Temple of Jupiter in Lebanon, then why didn’t they build it in a prestigious and important entrepôt like Byblos? And if not in Byblos, then why not in another of the renowned Phoenician ports along the same coast such as Tire or Sidon?
