The sarcophagus of Eshmunazor II, a Phoenician king who ruled in the 5th century BC, was discovered in Lebanon in 1855. The artefact was inscribed with a lengthy message in Phoenician, which warns of the terrible fate that will befall anyone who moves the sarcophagus. The advice went unheeded, and the tomb is now in the Louvre.
