Palmyra. Syria. Partial view of the large and elaborate altar with a group of three small columns at each corner at the Sanctuary of Nebo. Construction of the Temple of Nebo dates from around 1st century AD and it was dedicated to Nebo or Nabu, the son of Marduk who was the Mesopotamian god of oracles and wisdom. All that remains of the temple is the sanctuary podium, altar and column bases and re-erected columns.
