Personal Sketch Dr. Jafar grew up in Tyre, (south) Lebanon on the northeastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Most people do not know much about the town of Tyre or even Lebanon. However, when Dr. Jafar tells them that it was the land of the Canaanites and Tyre was the capital of Phoenicia where the Murexes were first used to dye clothes, and Lebanon is the land of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, they get excited about it. Dr. Jafar came to the States as a graduate student in 1983. | | |
