Show moreCollections of aerial views of historical monuments and cities of today Lebanon and Syria. Photographs were taken in 1925 by the French archaeologist Antoine Poidebard and other pilots. Jesuit Father Antoine Poidebard is considered the founder of the practice of aerial archaeology in the Middle East. A Jesuit missionary, he was also a renowned explorer and an amateur archaeologist. Settled in Beirut from 1925 on, in charge of official missions on behalf of the French authorities, he realized the extraordinary potential offered by aerial reconnaissance for the archaeological documentation of the Lebanese and Syrian territories. With the logistical support of the French Air Force, he completed thousands of flights, mainly above Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, but also above the coasts of the Mediterranean up to Algeria and Tunisia. As an ingenious amateur Poidebard developed prototypes of cameras that were later produced industrially. Djezine [sic] waterfall. Beaufort Castle. Beirut. The Port of Beirut. Interior of an old mill.
