Pierre Zalloua created a 2004 PBS documentary titled, “Quest for [this civilization].” In this civilization, a workshop at Sarepta produced high quality goods known as dibapha. An excavation of a city in this civilization led to the discovery of the Ahiram Sarcophagus. A history of these people by Sanchuniathon was translated into Greek by (*) Philo.
