The Obelisk Temple at Byblos

While the construction of the Obelisk Temple at Byblos is crude, the archaeologists found a rich treasure trove of objects that had been ritually buried within the temple's precincts. These included many bronze figurines, some wrapped in a thin sheet of gold. These figurines represent a diety and show strong affinity with the dieties found in the Anatolian Plateau among the Hurrians.
