BEIRUT, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Ghandi Abu Diab, a Lebanese in his fifties, has spent three decades exerting strenuous efforts to transform the ruins of Ottoman-era rock vaults into a heritage museum in al-Jahliyeh, a village in the Chouf District of Mount Lebanon.

Archaeologists and geologists who examined the vaults said these ruins could be traced back to over 400 years ago under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, according to Abu Diab.
