      <title>In Memoriam: Eulogy to May Murr, Lebanese poet, historian and pillar of culture</title>
      <link>http://phoenicia.org/inmemoriammaymurr.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[“As you know by now, Phoenicia has lost a prominent scholar and a great advocate, being our beloved May Murr, the poet, historian and Phoenician “teacher” from the School of Thought of our own poet the great Said Akl. In these moments of sadness, we pray for her Soul that is resting beside our Lord, the Creator and the Protector of the faith and our eternal Culture. I thought that few words may not suffice for a great Phoenician star that has ceased to shine on earth. These words may not be sufficient in the light of her deeds and contributions to our Culture, but as they come from a mourning heart saddened by the loss of a loved fellow Phoenician they may ease the pain of many although not compensate for the loss of a great Phoenician scholar and advocate”.]]></description>

      <title>Leo III, Byzantine Emperor was one of us</title>
      <link>http://phoenicia.org/leo.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Byzantine Emperor, Leo III was Maronite, Maradaite, Jarjamite or Syriac Jacobite (or a mix of them).  He was one of us, people of the Eastern Mediterranean and not a Greek. The conclusion is based on the fact that his family was one of the many Christian families that were forcefully resettled by the Byzantines per an agreement with the Arab Caliph. He remains an often ignored name in history because of his iconoclasm controversy.]]></description>
