“The Christian Kings of the Middle East” – new documentary released

 

The general public has no idea that the Middle East had a long reigning mighty Christian dynasty that flourished until very recently.
The Ghassanid Kings ruled several Middle Eastern regions, from 220 CE until the mid 18th century, a duration of over 1500 years. As the oldest active Christian Royal House in the world, they ruled over the largest territory for the longest period; more than any other Arab Dynasty.
The Ghassanid Kings’ lawful heirs are the Sheikhs El Chemor of Lebanon. Many were forced to move to the Americas and change their last names after being persecuted by the Ottoman Empire. But many never stopped using their titles and have recently been internationally recognized.
The Christian Kings of the Middle East“, a feature length documentary, is part of the “One Voice for Christians” initiative by the Royal House of Ghassan, in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations, whose purpose is to raise awareness not only about the family’s history, but especially regarding the imminent extinction and exodus of Christianity in the Middle East.
The upcoming documentary “The Invisible People” is currently in production and will seek to explore the past, present and future of Christianity in the Middle East.

Lebanese Diaspora

The Lebanese diaspora is composed by estimated 15-20 million people living all over the five continents. That represents many times Lebanon’s present population of around 4 million.

For the third consecutive year, the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, under the High Patronage of HE Minister Gebran Bassil, held an event called “Lebanese Diaspora Energy” congregating successful Lebanese (and descendants),  from several areas, living in the diaspora.

This year, one of the guests is HIRH Prince Gharios El Chemor of Ghassan Al-Numan VIII.
