Kamouh el Hermel
Kamouh el Hermel, Qâmou el Hermel, Qamouh el Hermel, Qâmoûaa el Hermel, Kâmoâ el Hermel, the Pyramid of Hermel or Hermel Pyramid (also known as God's Pyramid, House of El, the Funnel of Hermel or Needle of Hermel) is an ancient pyramid located south of Hermel the Beqaa Governorate, Lebanon.〔(Perdrizet, Paul., Le monument de Herme, Syria, Volume 19, Issue 19-1, pp. 47-71, 1938. )〕
The pyramid has been suggested to date to the first or second century BC due to similarities with architecture of tower tombs of the late Selucid era at Palmyra in Syria.〔 It was considered by William McClure Thomson to possibly have been of Ancient Greek construction, however the lack of inscriptions puzzled him as he thought the ancient Greeks to be a ''"scribbling generation"''. Thomson also entertained the notion, along with Charles William Meredith van de Velde that the construction may have been Assyrian. René Dussaud later suggested that although the reliefs resembled the Ishtar Gate, the edifice was likely a monument to the hunting prowess of a member of Syrian royalty from the first century BC.〔(Dussaud, René., Mémoire de M. Paul Perdrizet sur le monument d'Hermel (Syrie), Comptes-rendus des séances de l'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, Volume 81, Issue 4, pp. 342-343, 1937. )〕
The pyramid sits on top of a hill that is clearly visible from a distance and has been fenced off to prevent damage.〔(Anus, F., La protection des Monuments historiques en Syrie et au Liban, Syria, Volume 13, Issue 13-3, pp. 293-299, 1932. )〕 It is between and high and sits on a base measuring around with three steps made from black basalt.〔 On the base site two massive limestone blocks weighing between and .〔 The blocks are around high and wide and are crowned by a pyramid measuring some high. The Some sections of the monument were restored in 1931. A relief on the north side depicts two deer, possibly caught in a hunting trap. On the east side is a carved image of a boar being attacked by dogs and speared. The south side is badly damaged but shows an image considered possibly to be a bear. The relief on the west side shows two wolves attacking a bull.
==Shepherd Neolithic archaeological site==
Evidence was found of a Shepherd Neolithic archaeological site in the area around the monument, on the south and west of the hill. The site was discovered and a collection of flint tools used during the Neolithic Revolution was made by Lorraine Copeland and Frank Skeels in 1965. Materials recovered included blade-butts with scraping edges or notches, borers, cores (one with a twin edge) and small flakes. Some pieces were vaguely bifacial. The flints found were in a grey or chocolate-brown color with some having a shiny patina.
