During the Canaanite period Banias was known as Laish, and most probably, it was the capital of an Aramaic kingdom /Beit Rahoub/.
The region of Banias had had relations with the Canaanite, the Amorite and the Aramaic kingdoms.
In Dan there are ruins that belong to the Aramaic God "Hadad" .
Fiq was mentioned in the Bible and in many historical texts.
Greek and Arab geographers mentioned Fiq as a strategic point under many names: Auzip (afiqa), and Yaqout al Hamwi (AFiq. Fiq and Deir Fiq.)
