@RomanDeckert: for a fantastic photo of the area, and for adding a great quote. The quote helped me remember that I had seen the sundial a few months ago, so I added my photo of it. Onceinawhile (talk) 11:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the appreciation, it was indeed an unforgettable experience and tremendous privilege to visit that place, especially at sunset, as those Phoenicians really knew how to choose the locations for celebrating their cults! RomanDeckert (talk) 09:25, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
