While the Lebanese are busy posting and broadcasting fake messages that the government will be paying for your N7W votes, Lebanon’s “evil empire” is planning to bulldoze and bury a 2500-year-old Phoenician port in Beirut’s Minet El Hosn region.

The plot where the port has been rediscovered though, is set to house 3 massive towers which none of us can afford to buy. So, a piece of actual history and culture, and a true opportunity to boost Beirut’s status as a major city in ancient history of the Mediterranean, is going to be buried with concrete and steel for “Venus Towers”.

Libanews.com has the full story, but it is in French. I summed it up above though for non-French speakers. Here’s another article on the issue in Arabic on Al-Akhbar

So, after hearing this appalling news, I strongly encourage you to sign the petition here. This is a site in actual danger. This is a true treasure of human culture, which by any means is far more valuable than any natural formation.
