Sarcophagi

In the region of Mahkrouneh at Hadath El Jebbeh, the Srcophagi went back to the era of Queen Zia, one of the daughters of the King Nebuchadnezzar, who suffered from leprosy and tuberculosis. The doctors were unable to find the right medicine for her recovery. Therefore, they recommended the dry mountain climate available in Mount Lebanon.

Her travel began from Mesapotamia toward the Levant, where she was first stabilized in the forest of Cedars of God. Then, she moved to “Hodod” in Qadisho (Hadath) and she resided in El Zeizafoum Region (Mahkrouneh). After two years, she was completely recovered from her illness.

Therefore, she wrote a letter to her father informing him about her recovery and that she decided to live in Hadath ( Hodod ) all her life, fear of being newly ill and she ordered her entourage to burry her there.
