Kamid al lawz
Kamid al-Lawz, a village in Lebanon's western Bekaa district, sits above a Bronze Age archaeological site that was once among the largest Middle Bronze Age settlements known — referenced in ancient Egyptian sources and the Amarna documents as Koumidi. German university expeditions excavated the tell from the 1960s through the 1990s, uncovering a Late Bronze Age palace, two temples, workshops for bronze-working and jewellery, and a royal tomb containing over a thousand artefacts. The surrounding mountain also holds rock-cut tombs with Aramaic inscriptions.
