The Phoenician sundial is a 2,000 year old scaphe sundial discovered in Umm al-Amad, Lebanon .[1] [2]
It was found in two fragments, 80 meters apart. The first fragment was discovered by Ernest Renan 's Mission de Phénicie Maurice Dunand 's 1943–45 excavations.
The first fragment, known as CIS I 9, is exhibited at the Louvre Museum (AO 4823) and the other at the National Museum of Beirut .
A replica of the fully reconstructed sundial is in the Saint Nicolas Garden in Achrafieh , Beirut .
The scaphe sundial is in the shape of a half-sphere or a concave quarter-sphere, comprising eleven lines dividing the time interval between sunrise and sunset into twelve equal parts.
