The antique Baalbeck has never
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
regained it's past splendor, in part
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
because of the earthquakes that struck
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
it, and also because it was transformed
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
during the Medieval period into a
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
fortress.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Nevertheless, reconstructions conducted
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
by German, French and Lebanese
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
archeologists and architects since 1898
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
give us an idea of it's original splendor.
