Dude, thank you for making these presentations. There is so much awesome in the world it drives me insane that we would obscure anything from our fellow globe inhabitants.
it would take so long to do the carving by hand, the project of constructing the megaliths would span across hundreds of years, cutting, smoothing, transporting 100s of miles, finding a foundation to support 100s of thousands of tons of stone without sinking into the ground (how would they have found and calculated that) leveraging, lifting into place, aligning. THEN you would have different weathering embedded as it was being constructed. But just the foundation alone, it would have to be very specific location to support the weight WITHOUT sinking after all these years.
Byblos is in Lebanon (rather than Jordan). I've been to Baalbek in 2018 but only half-day, It's huge and I'd like to go back and spend a lot more time there.
The amount of land the Roman's had and the ingenuity to make their mark on almost all of it no matter how far it was is amazing. Really shows a vast empire that spread their technology all throughout it.
So Clear, The First Explorers and Archaeologists viewed All ancient sites as completed in the Same time period and Not as accumulation of Vastly different Times.

If pregnant lady has soil build up around it, can’t they dig to the bottom of it near the base , date some organic matter and get a more accurate time frame?
4:00 what about possibility its not attached to bedrock since its only half dug out of the ground. it reminds me of easter island statues that are half buried. my thinking is these huge heavy things got moved and buried during cataclysm in particular tsunami ocean waves from meteor or comet where all lands of earth had ocean water rip over them possibly waves 1,000 or more feet high. that much water could even move the ancient woman baalbek stone. its truly frightening how much ocean water is on earth when you think about it. the weight and power of it is astounding such as if giant meteor or asteroid hits the ocean somewhere just imagine how high the waves could be from that? these end of world movies showing waves above skyscrapers might not be exaggerating at all. I also have a theory the pyramids may have been party built because of knowledge of previous worldwide flood so pyramid can act as an escape safe haven for humans to climb if all of a sudden ocean water is rising rapidly. who knows. im also convinced there used to be giant humans and believe the proof is in ancient artworks that can still be seen everywhere in egypt and india. showing giant humans with way smaller humans in the same artwork. including sculptures etc. it would also explain the mind boggling size of megalithic things if actually there used to be giant humans ranging from 10 to 30 or more feet tall. its not that far fetched. look at house cats versus big cats for instance and all over earth you have examples of similar species but having small and huge sizes. insects as well. like say, you have small bees. but also huge bees. and plants the same thing. same kinds of plants but one version is huge and the other is small. And I would like to add that it makes sense that bigger species go extinct first because after cataclysm the bigger species need more food to survive but since earth is torn apart any bigger species does not find enough food to survive. while smaller species some of them dont go extinct because they need to find less food. :)
Brian. Thanks for providing these videos about Megalithic Stone Structures. I'm 67, born in 1955 and never knew about them until watching your videos about the Pyramids. How did they cut the stones, transport and stack them?
It’s kind of interesting the academics of today. No longer can define what a woman from a man. I thought science biology had this figured out long ago. So when it comes to academics, I don’t know that they know how to do science anymore. They work towards an agenda, not towards truth and understanding. Brian, I’m glad that you and many other people are trying to look for the truth and promote understanding of a world. When are present day academics, no longer care for truth, logic and real understand what’s going on around them. I don’t understand what is professors of science even care about anymore. Does it all really come down to just egos and not reality?
Just curious why no mention of the Phoenicians, after all the site is called Baalbek, named after the Phoenician God Baal. It was the Phoenicians who initially built on top of the megalithic stones, followed by the Romans and then the Creeks. Also Byblos is another major Phoenician heritage site in Lebanon (at 32:00 it's not Jordan) and likely explains the connection of the broken granite columns used in construction at both sites.
Amazing information. Like all your wonderful videos. One day I would love to join a few tours of your Hidden Inca Tours! I know you ace Egypt tours, big time!
The largest stone ever moved by manpower alone, i.e. without the use of animals or machines, is the Thunder Stone, an enormous boulder of granite serving as the pedestal of the famous Bronze Horseman statue of Peter the Great at St Petersburg, Russia. Before being cut into shape as the pedestal, the Thunder Stone measured 7 m by 14 m by 9 m, and was estimated to weigh around 1500 tonnes. It was moved 6 km overland to the Gulf of Finland from the marsh in Lakhta, north of the Gulf by dragging it across the frozen Russian countryside during the winter of 1768, a process taking 9 months and requiring 400 men, pulling it upon a metallic sledge. Now imagine 40,000 men .or 400,000 men.

It might be that if the granite was subjected to certain vibrations or reasonances that they could have been cut and shaped by materials that have a lower hardness.
Personally, judging from the angle of the pregnant woman stone, it looks to me that it might have been just a sculpture of the site, representing the massive stones that were actually quarried from the site. an artwork representing the site and possibly the company which owned the quarry. a kind of a logo statue of the company. there are very few reasons why one would want to quarry a cubical block in a weird angle like that, and the odds that a cataclysm struck at the very moment when they were cutting the most massive block of limestone in the history of humanity seems low.
I wonder if quarrying at an angle was one method to help get the huge block to stand up. Once standing, perhaps it could have been "walked" into place in the same way that the Easter Island Moai were walked across the island.
@@peterdebaets4590 nobody knows how the moai were moved or when or by who. the walking method has only ever been tested on a fraction of the size of the stones than what the largest or even average size moai are. walking a 1200 ton limestone block is impossible until proven otherwise. there's no reason to assume primitive moving or quarrying methods were needed at the site, because the scale of the actual construct requires much more advanced civilization than what the Romans suggested by mainstream were.
the megalithic structure found beneath the Roman temple were not Roman but much older as can be seen by the color (or discoloration), moss and different type of stone...

The Earth is around 4.6 billion years old. Lat's say it took 2 billion years for the planet to become solid and more or less settle and another billion years for life to develop to the point there were hominids present. That leave 1 billion 600 million years for civilisation after civilisation to develop and collapse, time after time. And we, modern Humans declare ourselves the epitome of advancement while we're surrounded by hundreds or thousands of buildings that are silent proof of one or more civilisations that were at least as advanced as we are tody, if not more so. There's hundreds of texts that speak of 'gods' descending from the skies or coming from across the water, of 'gods' using flying machines to get from continent to continent, of giants and even gods walking among us. And yet, certain scolars and some researchers have the arrogance to declare adamantly that all that is fantasy, belonging to legends or folkloristic exaggerations, denying the bleedin' evidence of buildings and artifacts that have been constructed and fabricated with technological means that surpass our current day abilities. Thanks to people like Brien, Chris Dunn, Robert Schoch and other Randall Carlsons, we slowly but steadily begin to shut-up the self-indulging elite that dictate what can and cannot be said or shown. We'll get there eventually.
If such advanced civilizations were present on earth's I highly doubt they would leave behind only some stones and Incomplete artifacts. Unless they are not from earth
I've pretty much said the exact same thing on other sites. Well said. Truth will out. Check out Paul Cook in the UK's research into megalithic geopolymers, on YT. More pieces of the puzzle.
@@realDys. You seem to have no idea about how much artefacts and buildings erode over millennia or even millions of years. A 10 storey complex will look like sagged, molten stone after a million years of weathering. Everyone expects to find crisp remnants of stuff that's probably many thousand years old. And with 'many', I mean many.
Current events in the world are clear proofs of the deliberate misleading by the powers that be. Nothing's changed, keep the plebs ignorant of the truth.
Any word on the ancient sites in Turkey? Of course I am more concerned with the suffering of the people, but can't help thinking that the ancients buried the magnificent sites of Göbekli Tepe and the surrounding sites and we uncovered them. Sending Love and Light to all affected!
The earthquake is devastating beyond all measure and one not seen in several decades. I asked that exact same question about Göbekli Tepe and other sites. One does not supersede the other but if so damaged, the loss is 10,000 fold. What is this world coming to? What was it before modern man? Is it our prerogative to uncover it all? I think yes. At some point we're going to have to know before central banking power takes all this and us dark from here on out -- their goal to own it all as they believe all prior history is a progression upward toward this power over the entirety of the realm, all time, space and matter.
@@billkarmetsky4003 Wise words, Bill, best to you! I think it is not only a prerogative, but a responsibility to uncover our true history and share it. Too much has been suppressed and destroyed! “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” ― George Orwell
Ideas on why The Giant Block still attached to Bedrock was done at such an angle off of level in its Location? Why not closer To level of all the Surrounding rock face?
Perhaps instead of using wood trunks to move the huge stones they used small cylindrical stones. Maybe those small pillar pieces in the walls are those cylindrical stones used for transportation and cut in pieces when they arrived on the site?
The fact they worked and moved such gargantuan stones rather than infinitely easier smaller stones tells us the size and weight of the stone was not an obstacle to them. Moving one gargantuan stone was less work.
I watched many of the professor's videos on this channel, but I always ask myself: Why haven't they found pulleys, wheels and engine parts from a lathe yet? Something should have already been found.
Great presentation. I love the photo of you at the base of that enormous granite column. Question: is Apple paying you for advertising? If not, cover that shiz up.
The stone of the pregnant woman... was it ever fully vertical but shifted over time? Seems strange that they would cut it at an angle like that yet still keep it straight
Brian, this is an astute observation that the megalithic builders did not seem to be interested in art. To me, this indicates either a totalitarian society (think of the USSR), or a telepathic one. Being telepathic means your thoughts are never private, you have no individuality because your thoughts are shared by all, and with no individuality there is no individual artistic expression.
I just ran across an ancient civilization in Turkey called Lycian Civilization and it appears to have magalithic stone walls and carved stone tomes. Never heard of it before but it is very interesting.
34:00 Looks to me like the rounded shapes were used as a deterrant for trying to scale it. It might be harder to grip the rounded shapes than the square corners and lines, but it could also just be decorative. 31:47 I get your point, but how else are you going to make a vaulted ceiling, it's not going to work with megalithic blocks. It's likely that the older civilization just did not have the knowhow to make vaulted ceilings, as they never made them until later. Which is kinda ironic if you think about it, because arches aren't just a style choice, they're also very efficient, kinda weird that the multi-talented ancient civilizations did not master that insight.
They moved the stones with balloons. We have a blimp today that can lift 500 tons. 2-3 of those and you can move any of these stones. You can’t say it’s not possible for them to have balloons because they built the pyramids and that’s harder than making big balloons.
I think that if the Romans did find the megalithic stones at balbek that would explain why they built the temple of Jupiter on top of it maybe they thought the stones were moved by the gods so they erected a temple over the stones so they could worship where the gods once we're, it would make sense
there should be a diamond temple which is more exclusives..a megalithic human made diamond..a size of football field industrial factory to produce diamond from a carbon..easy and beautiful..
Civilizations that have ruled Baalbek that I can think of are: Phonecians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks (Alexander), Romans, Byzantines, Arab Caliphates, West European Crusaders, Arabs again, Ottomans, French, and modern Syrians/Lebanese. So far!
24:12 Most likely the answer is that the Romans tried to imitate what was already present in the Levant. Just like what we see in Al-Batrā as well, the Romans tried to imitate that in their architecture.
thanks for the reports but when you come Baalbek again the big door of the entrance has a half sphere hole and some where between the broken stone in the first area a half sphere of the same measure slightly smaller. the hall is about half meter as well as the half sphere
If the granite in the grantite columns was cut in that shape at the quarry, you could just roll them to the new location. I'm not sure if that's what happened though.
Are we the 3rd or 4 th civilization to inhabit the Earth? Sounds like many other cultures add an opportunity to grow and live until something happened several times over and then we appear? Blows your mind?
A standard electric motor that might be used either in a power tool, electric vehicle, or the starter motor of a fuel vehicle is a complicated set of components. The casing is likely to be made of plastic, aluminium, cast iron or cast steel. The shafts and gears are likely to be mild steel, with surface hardening on surfaces. The bearings are likely to be bronze or ball bearings. The windings are likely to be thin copper wire with an insulation layer. There are likely to be further insulated wires, carbon contacts, spring steel springs, potentially permanent magnets, grease, screws, bolts and nuts. To make these components requires drilling, lathe work, gear hobbing, casting, copper drawing, plastic coating, threading, stamping, Milling and more. To get even this far requires mining of minerals, mineral processing such as smelting, a system of accurate measurements, a system for cutting threads, a system for producing flat surfaces, a system for producing rubber, plastic, or other insulators, and most of these things require large buildings with substantial foundations.
of course not, the Romans, Egyptians and Incas created structures of impossible complexity and there was nothing left after that, there are no tools, knowledge, history, documents and even legends of how and when it was done. Because it's not made by humans.
@@simonthorneycroft1339 It seems to be similar to our technologies now. Cut large blocks, use machine processing and carrying. So it is not difficult for the level of our civilization. So I didn't quite understand your question :)
@@user-yj1on3bf1v I am just curious as to how all traces of their civilisation other than a few buildings made out of large stone blocks has vanished. Our civilisation will have left traces of itself that I suspect will be detectable thousands of years from now, atmospheric changes recorded in ice cores. Polution, glass, plastics, the foundations of power stations and factories. that kind of thing?
@@simonthorneycroft1339 they did not build modern cities here. This is described in Judaism (the first book of Enoch) and in Sumerian legends about gods from the sky. 200 "angels" flew here, they landed on a mountain on the border between Lebanon and Syria (this is south of Baalbek). Perhaps this was not the first contact. In the beginning they gave us the knowledge of agriculture, they also gave us corn and wheat. Many myths of the peoples say that the first rulers were from the stars, then they flew away. So they haven't been here for too long. But they built buildings like the pyramids in Egypt and the temple of Baalbek. They probably took all the equipment back. From Judaism it is also known that those 200 angels (aliens) took human women as their wives and then their children taught people to make swords and shields and fight, kill each other, and also make sacrifices to these gods from heaven. When God saw this, he destroyed them all along with the people there. It was a flood.
How did the Romans make their limestone columns? Did they have some type of lathe? The granite columns sections have the indented centers to hold the rock in place while it rotated. I could not see for sure whether the limestone column pieces also had the indented area.
these were not Roman made at all... the top of the temple was Roman but the megalithic structure at the bottom was made of different material and has really old weathering on it indicating a much older time
The ground must of been a lot harder then the granite columns fonthem to just break in sections when it feel on the dirt ground and multiple ones breaking the same way and even same size pieces give or take
I'd like to measure those 3 holes, Lathe mounting holes? With a Sterret 40" vernier calipers, hole to hole, Hole dia./depth, and concentricity to the outer diameter.
I think I saw somewhere, the diameter of the square holes is about 5 centimeters, the depth is not more than 12. These holes are sometimes only on one side of the stone and also a few around the block that has not yet been removed from the quarry. These holes were definitely used for attaching wires and stone working machines. It was a high-tech production. There is also a perfectly made chamfer on the border of each block and a perfect joint.
I imagine they moved the blocks from the quarry on ice just like the Thunderstone was moved. As for the trilithons, I think they were installed as a dockyard to hold water and the stones were delivered by barge.
You meant to tell me the most enigmatic temple site in the entire world just somehow went unmentioned by every single civilization empire or city in the area until the Roman period? If this place existed for 10000 years somebody would have mentioned it in writing before the Roman's. There is no record of trade or giving donations to the temple by any of the ancient cities in the area. My theory is that Roman's paid for the construction but hired local Lebanese craftsman as they were well known to work with megalithic stones. If the Roman's wanted to grandest temple complex they were going to have to hire craftsman from Lebanon/Syria remember the Phoenicians built Solomons temple and the temple mount so craftsman in that area had the knowledge to build baalbek.

I may be wrong. But I have a hard time believing these huge stone slabs, or whatever you want to call them are actual stones cut from a quarry and not some form of "cement or concrete". Their size bordering on the "ridiculous". And just so big to not make practical sense. Personally, I think for the most part the "large" building stones were a form of "insulation". But in the middle east and Egypt, the large stone blocks kept out the heat instead of the cold as would normally be the case. And another reason there are so many underground tunnels in Egypt, miles and miles of them. Again, to cool off from the heat of the day, and still conduct your business. At the end of the day, regardless of the design or materials used, 95% of all man made buildings and structures are "practical" in nature. The other 5% being "art" and pretty.
A "microcrystalographer" might find forensic, trace-evidence of diamond and/or quenched carbon steel alloys embedded in (inclusions) in the surface fossils, or protected from weathering down in the bottoms of any deep cuts or scratches at or near the machined surfaces of the ancient, turned columns or cut blocks/quarries etc.
As that little 12in ruler doesn't tell you nothing at all as a smart person would use a long 4 or 6 ft straight edge to tell you how flat or what angle it is too
What if I told you Romans didn't build anything in Lebanon that isn't cobblestone mortar mixed. What if I told you that Romans didn't build the colosseum that isn't cobblestone mortar mixed. Look with your eyes and see. Plus, I will add that if they did as many have stated why is it so broken and scattered if only foot soldiers did it? Everything is a lie. Look at Petra and see the same architect. See how the masons brought that design to America.

The earthquake is devastating beyond all measure and one not seen in several decades. I asked that exact same question about Göbekli Tepe and other sites. One does not supersede the other but if so damaged, the loss is 10,000 fold. What is this world coming to? What was it before modern man? Is it our prerogative to uncover it all? I think yes. At some point we're going to have to know before central banking power takes all this and us dark from here on out -- their goal to own it all as they believe all prior history is a progression upward toward this power over the entirety of the realm, all time, space and matter.
@@billkarmetsky4003 Wise words, Bill, best to you! I think it is not only a prerogative, but a responsibility to uncover our true history and share it. Too much has been suppressed and destroyed!

Ideas on why The Giant

Bedrock was done at such
an angle off of level in its
Location? Why not closer
To level of all the Surrounding rock face?
Great pictures!
Was this built by Giants?
Absolutely magnificent
Perhaps instead of using wood trunks to move the huge stones they used small cylindrical stones. Maybe those small pillar pieces in the walls are those cylindrical stones used for transportation and cut in pieces when they arrived on the site?
Granit no Rom imperial megalitik Ston, thank You💖
He didn't mention that once they carried them 1600 miles from Egypt, they had to carry the stones over the Lebanese mountains
The fact they worked and moved such gargantuan stones rather than infinitely easier smaller stones tells us the size and weight of the stone was not an obstacle to them. Moving one gargantuan stone was less work.
Why are people so soft and afraid of hard work and challenges and obstacles nowadays? Everyone wants a medal ,It wasn't always so.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️
Overhead drone shots would be great to see..
Thanks Brien!
Hi Brien love your videos do you have any plans to visit Montana and look at some of the interesting dolmens and walls they are finding there?
Out in the forestry areas?
Why did they always build these megalithic stones so large?
More pure resonance qualities and harder for earthquakes to move them.
Seems like for them it was easy.
@@wesporter2176 In their past, out of necessity, they were forced to learn how to cut and shape stone.
Because they could. Giants Lego blocks ?
thank you
It was giants dammit.
I watched many of the professor's videos on this channel, but I always ask myself: Why haven't they found pulleys, wheels and engine parts from a lathe yet? Something should have already been found.
Have you thought about this? nubs could be an internal beam structure, converted with vitrified cement
Brien should take along some forensic scientists (like Abby Shuto of NCIS) and also some pyschics.
Silly Rabbit, No CafPow machine in Lebanon.
Great presentation. I love the photo of you at the base of that enormous granite column. Question: is Apple paying you for advertising? If not, cover that shiz up.
I don't even know how the Roman's could even lift those huge columns
The stone of the pregnant woman... was it ever fully vertical but shifted over time? Seems strange that they would cut it at an angle like that yet still keep it straight
Brian, this is an astute observation that the megalithic builders did not seem to be interested in art. To me, this indicates either a totalitarian society (think of the USSR), or a telepathic one. Being telepathic means your thoughts are never private, you have no individuality because your thoughts are shared by all, and with no individuality there is no individual artistic expression.
Interesting conclusion!
Welldone very clever man
🤔
I just ran across an ancient civilization in Turkey called Lycian Civilization and it appears to have magalithic stone walls and carved stone tomes. Never heard of it before but it is very interesting.
34:00 Looks to me like the rounded shapes were used as a deterrant for trying to scale it.
It might be harder to grip the rounded shapes than the square corners and lines, but it could also just be decorative.
31:47 I get your point, but how else are you going to make a vaulted ceiling, it's not going to work with megalithic blocks.
It's likely that the older civilization just did not have the knowhow to make vaulted ceilings, as they never made them until later.
Which is kinda ironic if you think about it, because arches aren't just a style choice, they're also very efficient, kinda weird that the multi-talented ancient civilizations did not master that insight.
Big Fan... Have you researched or talked to Mario Buildreps? I find his theory fascinating.... Thanks, and keep up the great work!
They moved the stones with balloons. We have a blimp today that can lift 500 tons. 2-3 of those and you can move any of these stones. You can’t say it’s not possible for them to have balloons because they built the pyramids and that’s harder than making big balloons.
Has anyone ever taken a close look at the Temple Mount construction? There are similar giant stones in its foundation
I think that if the Romans did find the megalithic stones at balbek that would explain why they built the temple of Jupiter on top of it maybe they thought the stones were moved by the gods so they erected a temple over the stones so they could worship where the gods once we're, it would make sense
there should be a diamond temple which is more exclusives..a megalithic human made diamond..a size of football field industrial factory to produce diamond from a carbon..easy and beautiful..
Civilizations that have ruled Baalbek that I can think of are: Phonecians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks (Alexander), Romans, Byzantines, Arab Caliphates, West European Crusaders, Arabs again, Ottomans, French, and modern Syrians/Lebanese. So far!
24:12 Most likely the answer is that the Romans tried to imitate what was already present in the Levant. Just like what we see in Al-Batrā as well, the Romans tried to imitate that in their architecture.
Sun nova stoped the work maybe.....when people were much bigger than now 12.500 years ago
thanks for the reports but when you come Baalbek again the big door of the entrance has a half sphere hole and some where between the broken stone in the first area a half sphere of the same measure slightly smaller. the hall is about half meter as well as the half sphere
If the granite in the grantite columns was cut in that shape at the quarry, you could just roll them to the new location. I'm not sure if that's what happened though.
What quarry are you talking about?
Amazing !
since when byblos moved from Lebanon to Jordan ?
Are we the 3rd or 4 th civilization to inhabit the Earth? Sounds like many other cultures add an opportunity to grow and live until something happened several times over and then we appear? Blows your mind?
A standard electric motor that might be used either in a power tool, electric vehicle, or the starter motor of a fuel vehicle is a complicated set of components.
The casing is likely to be made of plastic, aluminium, cast iron or cast steel.
The shafts and gears are likely to be mild steel, with surface hardening on surfaces.
The bearings are likely to be bronze or ball bearings.
The windings are likely to be thin copper wire with an insulation layer.
There are likely to be further insulated wires, carbon contacts, spring steel springs, potentially permanent magnets, grease, screws, bolts and nuts.
To make these components requires drilling, lathe work, gear hobbing, casting, copper drawing, plastic coating, threading, stamping, Milling and more.
To get even this far requires mining of minerals, mineral processing such as smelting, a system of accurate measurements, a system for cutting threads, a system for producing flat surfaces, a system for producing rubber, plastic, or other insulators, and most of these things require large buildings with substantial foundations.
Is that what this ancient civilisation had?
of course not, the Romans, Egyptians and Incas created structures of impossible complexity and there was nothing left after that, there are no tools, knowledge, history, documents and even legends of how and when it was done. Because it's not made by humans.
@@user-yj1on3bf1v How did the Aliens build them?
@@simonthorneycroft1339 It seems to be similar to our technologies now. Cut large blocks, use machine processing and carrying. So it is not difficult for the level of our civilization. So I didn't quite understand your question :)
@@user-yj1on3bf1v I am just curious as to how all traces of their civilisation other than a few buildings made out of large stone blocks has vanished.
Our civilisation will have left traces of itself that I suspect will be detectable thousands of years from now, atmospheric changes recorded in ice cores. Polution, glass, plastics, the foundations of power stations and factories. that kind of thing?
@@simonthorneycroft1339 they did not build modern cities here. This is described in Judaism (the first book of Enoch) and in Sumerian legends about gods from the sky. 200 "angels" flew here, they landed on a mountain on the border between Lebanon and Syria (this is south of Baalbek). Perhaps this was not the first contact. In the beginning they gave us the knowledge of agriculture,
they also gave us corn and wheat. Many myths of the peoples say that the first rulers were from the stars, then they flew away. So they haven't been here for too long. But they built buildings like the pyramids in Egypt and the temple of Baalbek. They probably took all the equipment back. From Judaism it is also known that those 200 angels (aliens) took human women as their wives and then their children taught people to make swords and shields and fight, kill each other, and also make sacrifices to these gods from heaven. When God saw this, he destroyed them all along with the people there. It was a flood.
If this was built before the younger dryas maybe woolly mammoths were used to move the stones?
How did the Romans make their limestone columns? Did they have some type of lathe? The granite columns sections have the indented centers to hold the rock in place while it rotated. I could not see for sure whether the limestone column pieces also had the indented area.
They ordered them from Amazon.
these were not Roman made at all... the top of the temple was Roman but the megalithic structure at the bottom was made of different material and has really old weathering on it indicating a much older time
The ground must of been a lot harder then the granite columns fonthem to just break in sections when it feel on the dirt ground and multiple ones breaking the same way and even same size pieces give or take
I'd like to measure those 3 holes, Lathe mounting holes?
With a Sterret 40" vernier calipers, hole to hole, Hole dia./depth, and concentricity to the outer diameter.
I think I saw somewhere, the diameter of the square holes is about 5 centimeters, the depth is not more than 12. These holes are sometimes only on one side of the stone and also a few around the block that has not yet been removed from the quarry. These holes were definitely used for attaching wires and stone working machines.
It was a high-tech production. There is also a perfectly made chamfer on the border of each block and a perfect joint.
@@user-yj1on3bf1v Thanks for the reply.
The reason I would like to measure it is to gleam the tolerances they employed.
A Semi Truck and Trailer, known as an 18 Wheeler, fully loaded weighs 80,000 pounds = 40 Tons. The Truck and Trailer empty weigh 35,000 pounds.
this is kind of why I dropped out of college.
Good on you. Academics can't even define a woman.
Very interesting. just a minor mistake, Byblos is in Lebanon not Jordan.
Why is every ancient building assumed to be religious in nature?
Yusuf could probably rebuild the pyramids with all the knowledge he has by now.
Fascinating. Nephilim architecture.
I think there is an entrance to the underworld at Baalbek that has been covered over and sealed in modern times. If not ancient time.
Is not a quarry, is another megalitic construction -.- later maybe was a quarry but is not a quarry (same in egipt or peru).
New History, no Rom imperial truth💖💖💖
I imagine they moved the blocks from the quarry on ice just like the Thunderstone was moved. As for the trilithons, I think they were installed as a dockyard to hold water and the stones were delivered by barge.
The stone of the pregnant woman would give birth to other building stones like a slice of bread.
Only makes you feel like, there's a hole put in your minds
You meant to tell me the most enigmatic temple site in the entire world just somehow went unmentioned by every single civilization empire or city in the area until the Roman period? If this place existed for 10000 years somebody would have mentioned it in writing before the Roman's. There is no record of trade or giving donations to the temple by any of the ancient cities in the area.
My theory is that Roman's paid for the construction but hired local Lebanese craftsman as they were well known to work with megalithic stones. If the Roman's wanted to grandest temple complex they were going to have to hire craftsman from Lebanon/Syria remember the Phoenicians built Solomons temple and the temple mount so craftsman in that area had the knowledge to build baalbek.

I may be wrong. But I have a hard time believing these huge stone slabs, or whatever you want to call them are actual stones cut from a quarry and not some form of "cement or concrete". Their size bordering on the "ridiculous". And just so big to not make practical sense. Personally, I think for the most part the "large" building stones were a form of "insulation". But in the middle east and Egypt, the large stone blocks kept out the heat instead of the cold as would normally be the case. And another reason there are so many underground tunnels in Egypt, miles and miles of them. Again, to cool off from the heat of the day, and still conduct your business. At the end of the day, regardless of the design or materials used, 95% of all man made buildings and structures are "practical" in nature. The other 5% being "art" and pretty.
A "microcrystalographer" might find forensic, trace-evidence of diamond and/or quenched carbon steel alloys embedded in (inclusions) in the surface fossils, or protected from weathering down in the bottoms of any deep cuts or scratches at or near the machined surfaces of the ancient, turned columns or cut blocks/quarries etc.
"Paleomicrocrystalography"
These ruins like many others are what's left of the pre flood cities of Cain including Atlantis and the Great Pyramids.
Maybe they made it to get tourist to pay
As that little 12in ruler doesn't tell you nothing at all as a smart person would use a long 4 or 6 ft straight edge to tell you how flat or what angle it is too
Not everything has to be "cataclysm" lol
Maybe they just figured it's too bloody humongous to work on and then move.
It's. The. Giants. Who. Built. All. The. Megaliffs. Even. The pyramids. Not. The egyptins
thank you for this presentation.... byblos is also in lebanon!!! (not jordan)
🇱🇧🇱🇧🌲🏔️🥂🏖️
What if I told you Romans didn't build anything in Lebanon that isn't cobblestone mortar mixed. What if I told you that Romans didn't build the colosseum that isn't cobblestone mortar mixed. Look with your eyes and see. Plus, I will add that if they did as many have stated why is it so broken and scattered if only foot soldiers did it? Everything is a lie. Look at Petra and see the same architect.
See how the masons brought that design to America.
