It is in Byblos, one of the most important and most visited sites in Lebanon, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, that new archaeological discoveries have just been made. Tombs dating from the Bronze Age, ie 1,800 years before our era, have been uncovered. An exhibition relating the history of Byblos and highlighting these new excavations is presented at the Louvre: it is also the story of a century-long archaeological collaboration between the museum and the Directorate of Antiquities in Lebanon.
