The goal of the game is simple, you walk through areas around the world in biblical times and explore the environments while listening to passages from the bible or sermons.

Power comes in unity under one national identity.

No ideology surpasses the significance of your own land and people.

God protect our Southern civilians.

There are no good politicians, they all agreed and voted in favor of solidere. They stole the ruins and put them inside their houses if not the sea.

The posters are too long to translate in their entirety, so I'll just drop the link to the source here, it includes many interesting details. It's in Hebrew, but I reckon Google Translate would do a good enough job. Here it is. All the posters are from there.

So, these are posters in Hebrew, encouraging Hebrew speaking Jews from Palestine - first under Ottoman rule (near the end of the Ottoman empire) and then under the British Mandate, to visit Lebanon. Borders were a lot more lax back then, and there were railroads connecting different would-be independent countries in the Levant.

The Bon Fils hotel, "standing between the cedars on Mount Lebanon near the village of Brummana". It offers a good rest, healthy food, good service and clean air.

The newly inaugurated Hotel Victoria in the village of Bhamdoun (1000m elevation) invites people to recover their strength and breathe fresh air. It mentions that the food isn't kosher. Easy access to Beirut by train or car ("automobile"). The cold, dry air, and the altitude, make Bhamdoun the healthiest place in Lebanon in the vicinity of Beirut. The owners are Michel and Gibrail Mattta.

A poster for a lecture about Syria and Lebanon that will take place at an educational center in Geula Sreet, Tel-Aviv. Organized by the committee of workers in Tel-Aviv and Jaffa, part of the General Organization of Hebrew Workers in Eretz Yisrael. The lecture will be accompanied by a "magic lantern" - an early type of image projector.

Regardless of how you feel about going to war with Israel, regardless of the difference between regions in Lebanon, regardless of the difference in our sects, please don't forget about these people, young and old, our age and our parents' and grandparents' age. They are our people; they did not deserve this and they shouldn't be forgotten.

A powerful video showing the beauty and cultural wealth of south Lebanon.
