Lebanon sure was beautiful back then!!! ❤️🇱🇧

I will always remember those days. The sixties up to the mid seventies.

I lived it up in my 20s ... it was like magic 😊

Watching this video, I have no doubts about how much I love the past and I'm terrified of the future

This is Heartbreaking. The Lebanon could have and should have been a Bastion of Peace and Prosperity. The California of the Middle East, with Beirut the Paris of the Middle East. It's just Heartbreaking.

Fabulous place. Was there five years ago - still some recognisable scenes.

For any potential visitors, as a Lebanese i can confirm that the Baalbek Temple Complex is still almost the same as it was back in the 1960s, the civil war period didn't harm the ancient ruins as it's located deep away from major cities (Bekaa Valley), but what you should be really wondering about is how the heck this whole Baalbek Temple Complex that roughly dates back to at least 11,000 years still stands today... i've been there as a kid & as an adult a couple of times since the 1990s, each time i go there it gives me the chills, its so huge & ancient you will need literary one whole day to go around discovering it...ur welcomed

the inhabitation of the site can be traced bak 11,000 years. the acutal temple complex was built under roman rule probably just under 2,000 years ago

@@life_of_liam the Romans built many of their temples in the old world on a much older ancient sites, they sometimes tore down the older structures in order to use the huge heavy stones for their new temples, for the untrained eye it may seem to be a 2000 year old temple, for experts, the Baalbek temple complex has an original foundation stones that go back to Phoenician & even to a Pre-Phoenicia times, the 11,000 years is not a random number, a simple comparison to such foundational structures is Göbekli Tepe site in Turkey, it’s 12,000 year old, you’re welcomed.

Childhood memories. Have learned swimming in that pool. We used to spent the school free days around those pools and beaches❤ ❤❤

Lebnan as we call it or Lebanon is this small country has a diversity in scenes from mountains to valleys to coasts to plaines in every corner you visit that represents the entire planet. A four seasons climate so moderated. It’s definetly heaven on earth. Despite all what happened the last forty years it’s still the country that spreads happiness and joy of life. Lebanese love to laugh to sing to eat to dance to drink and love to live. Bhebak ya Lebnan 🇱🇧❤️

O the days back then.!

Great piece!

Lebanon will always remain beautiful but when it comes to the economy its a different story

Can't hardly wait to go there! I'm sure it's ten times more luxurious now days. 😃👍

@@Atitlan1222 yeah buddy, i live in Beirut City right now, tourism never dies in Lebanon, even during civil war times back the days people used to enjoy some level of tourism in the safe areas away from fighting, today we have a financial problems due to banks bankruptcy & Government corruption, excluding the war in the South with our arch enemy Zion, most of the country is still calm & stable now, with the summer season on the doors, tourists always manage to find their way into Lebanon as long as the airport stays open, although in less numbers than previous years due to the current war in Gaza & South of Lebanon,,, your welcomed

1:07 "The Lebanon" (?), just like The Ukraine? 🤔 It seems like the narrator's copy was either outdated or completely wrong. 😅

7:18 Just how the hell is that thing on the right standing? That's defying gravity. 🤔
