Editing Temple of Bacchus[edit]

History Information on the Baalbek festivals, why they may not be continuing...(Travel Advice against)

Architecture - Can we find where the source of the columns marble came from? Which quarry or previous temple? - What does the entablature depict? Colors? -Cella - half Columns, different or the same how to the supporting columns? "Some historic Roman coins depict the structure of this temple along with Temple of Jupiter.[3] The storm god Ba'al was worshiped in this temple.[4]" Seems out of place within the context of the paragraph of which it was placed. Descriptions of the cella, entablature, aydton, Materials used, Hypothesis of construction methods.


The International Baalbek Festival[edit]

The festival was launched in 1956, which was created by Camille Chamoun, President of the Lebanese Republic at the time.[1] The festival was halter in 1974 by the Lebanese Civil War. The festival features music, theater and dance and is a prominent annual international festival in the Middle East. The festival is staged in the temple complex and most often in the Temple of Bacchus. The festival resumed in 1997. [2] In 2016 the Baalbek Internationa Festival celebrated 60 successful years due to supporters and a praise of security. Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). There are still security concerns with the placement of the festival in the temple complex with various countries having strong advisement against traveling to the area. [3]
