	Places in Lebanon - Anjar
		Lebanon's other sites were founded a millennia ago, but Anjar is a relative new-comer, going back to the early 8th Century AD.
		Anjar also stands unique as the only historic example of an inland commercial center.
		The city's slender columns and fragile arches stand in contrast to the massive bulk of the nearby Anti-Lebanon mountains - an eerie background for Anjar's extensive ruins and the memories of its short but energetic moment in history.

	Anjar - LoveToKnow 1911
		ANJAR, a fortified town of India, and the capital of a district of the same name in the native state of Cutch, in the presidency of Bombay.
		The town and district of Anjar were both ceded to the British in 1816, but in 1822 they were again transferred to the Cutch government in consideration of an annual money payment.
		Subsequently it was discovered that this obligation pressed heavily upon the resources of the native state, and in 1832 the pecuniary equivalent for Anjar, both prospectively and inclusive of the arrears which had accrued to that date, was wholly remitted by the British government.

	Anjar - Armeniapedia.org
		Anjar is a town of Lebanon located in the Bekaa Valley.
		The village of Anjar, Lebanon, was established in 1939 when 6000 Armenian inhabitants of Musa Dagh, in the then-Syrian province of Alexandretta, carried out a mass exodus from their historic homeland, under the auspices of the French.
		For this reason, Anjar remained uncultivated and barren until the mid-1940s, when the population finally understood that it would not be able to return.

	Change Comes to Syria's Lebanon 'Home'
		Anjar, Lebanon (BBC) -- The road leading to the Syrian border in Lebanon's Bekaa valley is usually full of dilapidated trucks wheezing pollution as they struggle towards Damascus.
