Created by Elias Ziade (talk). Self-nominated at 18:14, 23 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Phoenician sanctuary of Kharayeb; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

I'm really impressed with the quality of this article and its sourcing. It was nominated in time, is clearly long enough, and is an exemplary piece of work in terms of neutral and clear style. Earwig gives a high copyright violation score, but on inspection, the reused text consists of citation titles and phrases that describe places and objects. I'm satisfied this article is original text.

The original hook is my favourite. ALT2 is also interesting and succinct: the others are a bit too grammatically convoluted. The original hook's 8,000 figurines and religious purpose is stated in the article with an appropriate inline source, and the hook is properly formatted and short enough. QPQ done. This is good to go. MartinPoulter (talk) 15:15, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
