Sarcophagus of Ahiram, King of Byblos

This ornate casket served as the final resting place for Ahiram, the legendary ruler of Byblos, a storied metropolis in ancient Lebanon. Carved into its surface is an eloquent Phoenician epitaph, boldly declaring: "If any monarch, or governor, or military commander dares to assail Byblos and violate this casket's sanctity, may their authority be stripped away, their kingdom toppled, and peace forsake the city. May their very legacy be erased."
