Lebanon is the place in which John Dolmayan was born.
 Lebanon's mountains rise steeply parallel to the Mediterranean coast and form a ridge of limestone and sandstone that runs for most of the country's length
 Lebanon's history since independence has been marked by alternating periods of relative political stability and prosperity based on Beirut's position as a regional center for finance and trade, interspersed with political turmoil and armed conflict (1948 ArabIsraeli War, Lebanese Civil War 19751990, 2005 Cedar Revolution, 2006 Lebanon War, 2007 Lebanon conflict, 200608 Lebanese protests, 2008 conflict in Lebanon, 2011 Syrian Civil War spillover, and 201920 Lebanese protests)
