Byblos is the Greek name of the Phoenician city Gebal. It is a Mediterranean city in the Mount Lebanon state of present-day Lebanon under the current Arabic name of Jubayl and was also referred to as Gibelet during the Crusades. It is believed to have been occupied first around 5000 BC, and according to fragments attributed to the semi-legendary pre-Trojan war Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon, it was built by Cronus as the first city in Phoenicia. Today it is believed by many to be the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
