Can you help identify this building probably in Lebanon , from old painting
kangarooistan
concealed cellar similar to the one recently found in Europe
Its clear children were kept in this cellar
I found this double sided painting in the cellar
http://picasaweb.google.com/kangarooistan9
, it may be totally unrelated to the owner or use and the painters
may be different again , but Im still not quite sure about the
building ,
it does not quite match anything I can find ,
yet other detail in the paintings is exact to a surprising amount of
detail
Im interested to know the significance if any , of the building seen
in the picture
Can you help identify it ,
I note about the time I discovered the painting much RECONSTRUCTION
was being planned in Lebanon and it MAY be a planned or symbolic
building , its of huge size , 8 feet x 3 feet , perhaps used for fund
raising ? , for reconstruction after civil war perhaps, not an actual
building but a proposed one , artists impression ? ???
I list my online search to save time, with similar looking buildings I
have located , it almost certainly in Lebanon and almost certainly
connected to DRUZE , who worship in Muslim Mosques in the region ,its
certainly looks like a Mosque , but the other items in the paintings
identify a DRUZE origin as they believe in Egyptology type
reincarnation carried forward from ancient Egypt
The reverse side has lots of Ancient Egyptology stuff that can be
interpreted

I google searched Al Amin mosque
Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Mohammad Al Amin Mosque.
The Mohammad Al Amin Mosque in 2005 behind the shrine of Rafik Hariri,
during its construction.
The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque is a Sunni mosque located in Martyrs'
Square in downtown Beirut, Lebanon. It was built between 2002 and 2007
by the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was buried
beside it.
It was inaugurated by his son Saad Hariri on October 17, 2008.
YES mate its almost CERTAINLY the same BUT I found the painting in
South Australia in the EARLY 1990s over 15 years ago , it CAN NOT be
the same , unless its a replacement???
2004 under construction has ROUND arches ???
http://www.archnet.org/library/images/one-image-large.jsp?location_id...
I had noted the pointy arches seen in painting but not so clear in the
picture
BUT on closer examination from several angles they ARE POINTY arches
AND more and more close to the painting , even the pointy " spike" on
top of the dome changes shape from different angles
