Byblos , an ancient city of Phoenicia, is located on the Mediterranean Sea near present-day Beirut, Lebanon. Extensive archaeological investigations began in 1921, indicating that Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with remains of civilizations dating from about 5000BC. The city was the principal city of Phoenicia and an important seaport during the 2nd millennium BC, as it exported cedar and other woods to Egypt. The name Byblos applied by the Greeks to papyrus, which they imported from the city, is the source of the word Bible. Gebal was the biblical name of Byblos. The Book of Ezekiel (see 27:9) mentions the maritime pursuits of its inhabitants. The city of Byblos is now occupied by a large Lebanese village called Jubayl.
