Deir Mar Musa al-Habashi, literally the Monastery of Saint Moses the Abyssinian, is a monastic community of the Syriac Catholic Church located near the town of Nabk, Syria, approximately 80 km north of Damascus, on the eastern slopes of the Anti-Lebanon mountains. The main church of the monastic compound hosts precious frescoes dating to the 11th and 12th century. An ancient building, stone circles, lines and tombs were recently discovered near the monastery in 2009 by archaeologist Robert Mason of the Royal Ontario Museum. Mason suggested that the ruins may date back 10,000 years and were likely constructed in Neolithic period. In 1838, the place, named Deir Mar Musa, was noted as having a Syriac population.
