description Abstract: At the mouth of the Nahr el-Kalb, a river flowing into the Mediterranean some kilometers north of the Lebanese capital of Beirut, the visitor can find more than twenty rock-cut monuments, perfectly integrated in the surrounding anthropic and natural landscape, that are dated between the thirteenth century BCE and the dawn of the twenty-first century CE. In a privileged geographical emplacement, with breath-taking beauty and strategic character, kings and rulers, both local and foreign, left their inscriptions and stelae to celebrate their military achievements and to mark the endurance of their deeds. These monuments make Nahr el-Kalb a unique place to study how imperial power found its material expression, and how the symbolic and ritual aspects play a significant role in the configuration of this peerless open-air museum.
