It is located on the Baalbek road close to Zahle. Karak contains a sarcophagus claimed by the locals to be the tomb of Noah.[1] HistoryThe town was an important religious site during the Middle Ages, drawing devotion from the local rural village communities.[1] The town was known as al-Karak during the time of the Ayyubid dynasty and changed to Karak Nuh under the Mamluks.[2] It became known as a centre of learning for Shia Islam and the administrative centre of the southern Beqaa. A Mamluk officer established the first recorded waqf endowment for Karak in 1331 AD. A Safavid Sheikh and various dignitaries were born in the town. Under the Ottoman Empire, in around 1538 the waqf was increased and 'Alwan family appointed responsible for the site. A major earthquake damaged the town's distinguishing minaret in 1705, which required repair.[1] Tomb of NoahAccording to tradition mentioned by al-Mukaddasi and Al-Dimashqi, the tomb of Noah existed in the tenth century and can still be seen. The stone tomb measures around {{convert|104.8|ft|m}} long, {{convert|8.7|ft|m}} wide and {{convert|3.2|ft|m}} high and is covered in a raggedy green cloth. It is housed in a room measuring {{convert|10.1|ft|m}} by {{convert|8.1|ft|m}}.[3][4][5] There is a chapel next to the cenotaph building where several inscriptions (decrees) dating to the fourteenth century were found.[6] There is also a courtyard outside the building with a prayer niche. The size of the monument possibly derives from tales of ancient giants, but is more realistically suggested to be a section of an ancient aqueduct that has been converted to serve as a shrine.[4][7] ArchaeologyA Roman inscription in Latin dating to the year 84 CE was found in the basement of a house to the south west of the tomb that called for the long life of the "man with many names".[4] LocaleNear to the town is the Ayn al-Garr spring and Massyas lake and marshes that are considered to be the source of the Litani river.[8] See also{{Portal|Lebanon|Archaeology|Ancient Near East}}
