Hiram's Tomb: Canaanite Megaliths in Ancient Lebanon

The Tomb of Hiram in the village of Hanaway near Tyre in Lebanon is thought to be the burial place of King Hiram of Tyre c.900 BC. It is a colossal limestone sarcophagus built upon a high pedestal, just north of the border with Israel.The megaliths resemble those at Byblos and Baalbek and further stone remains are scattered across the local landscape, with an underground chamber beneath the main tomb. During Hiram's reign, Tyre grew from a satellite of Sidon into the most important of Phoenician cities, and influenced a large trading empire. There are suggestions that it could be neolithic or bronze age in date due to the similar style of constructions from those times in the Middle East. A strange anomaly occurred during the last part of our visit where both our camera's screens suddenly turned upside down - at the same time. We have no idea why or how this happened and you can see the clip at the end of the video!
