Do you have any more information about this site? Ramesses II to Fakhr al-Din is an incredibly long stretch of time, it’s fascinating that they’d all erect stelae in the same location.
great read sitting here at 3am recovering from knee surgery. would the area be in danger due to the new war in Lebanon?
