BYBLOS
Byblos: translation
Major town and seaport on the eastern Mediterranean coast in modern Lebanon, ancient Gubla. It was the principal port through which timber and other goods were exported to Egypt from the Early Dynastic Period onward. Relations are attested in the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdoms. The city became part of the Egyptian empire as a result of the campaigns ofThutmose III. Toward the end of Dynasty 18, Byblos was menaced by the aggressive intentions of the kings of Amurru, who had become Hittitevassals. This was reported in detail by King Rib-Hadda in the Amarna letters. The city escaped destruction by the Sea Peoples and is mentioned in the tale ofWenamunat the end of Dynasty 20when Egyptian influence there was negligible due to the weakness of the Egyptian state.
