No other country can match it in volume of historical events and in their significance to world progress. Small in size, yet Lebanon has been substantial in influence and its people can rightfully claim to be true benefactors of many ages. A few miles north of Beirut, where the Mount Lebanon touches the sea, the face of the rock of the Dog River gorge bears nineteen inscriptions in almost as many languages. The inscriptions record at this narrow pass where native mountaineers took their decisive stand, the military feats of foreign invaders. The first to leave such a mark was Ramses II some 1300 years before the birth of Christ followed by many other notables such as Alexander, Saladin, Baldwin I, Napoleon III, General Allenby, and General Gouraud. Through these records we can gain a small glimpse of the remarkable past of Lebanon.
