This country has been a headquarters for many religions, ethnic groups and empires. Dating back to the ancient age, Phoenicians called this land home. The phoenicians revolutionized sea faring, the alphabet, created the carthaginian empire and countless other things. The people living here since then have seen some of the most brutal struggles, wars and harsh periods of the modern age. Truly, some of the most resilient people walking this earth live in this nation. This is Lebanon.
