SIDON NECROPOLES
Sidon's neccropoles delivered sumptuous testimony from the funeral art of the life-old century BC until the beginning of the Christian era. Unfortunately, these vast cemeteries were plundered, and many resembling remains were scattered around the world for museums and private collections.
However, an astonishing alignment of anthropoid sarcophagi is visible at the Beirut National Museum, while some beautiful Greek coins (Alexander's sarcophagus) took the road to Istanbul in the nineteenth century to enrich the Archeological Museum. The sarcophagus of the king of Sidon, Eshmounazar, is in the Louvre. Sidon neccropoles are not open to the public.
