    I am from Baalback... I am also a builder/architect and have worked around the world. Concrete and stone megaprojects (small scale) and regular builds: malls, buildings, houses. I also am a student of history and read about who academics "think" built the complex. They are wrong. I will not state the many stories and oral traditions from the locals about who built them because, in engineering and science, these stories mean diddly squat (I'm not saying they are wrong). I want people just to go there... the upper complex as well as the lower complex could not, I repeat, could not have been cut, sculpted, rounded, moved and placed. And yes Im talking about the lower megalithic huge base and the upper megalithic huge "temples" and complexes. I think, today, we only have about 8 machines worldwide that could do this work (cranes and pullies machines). In my opinion, every academic who claims is sure about who built Baalback has never painted a wall, renovated a house or let alone built one...

      @Chris Vail Hmm, well I'm not familiar enough with Lovecraft to know of what you speak of, but I do agree that we should be looking at an ancient coastline about 300ft below current levels. We have a tendency to congregate along coastlines, and I'm sure there's plenty of sites along the ancient coasts. Underwater archaeology of that scale may prove to be quite challenging, perhaps too costly even, and the reward may be nothing more than a news headline of "strange natural rock formations that look like megalithic monuments found off the coast of Egypt". Being under saltwater for 12 millennia would take its toll on a lot of tangible data, the carvings no longer visible, paintings vanished, nearly all organic evidence decayed to nothing...so unless a site is so well preserved that it's easily identified as a structure, the skeptics won't have much trouble writing it off.

    This is a really great video of the giant stones at Baalbek! According to the ancient Greek philosophers, these stones, have always been there. In fact, Alexander of Macedonia, planned to build a palace on the very site, that houses, the temple of Jupiter. Of course he never made it back, but he planned to build on the pre-existing, megalithic stone blocks, upon his return. I think the abandoned blocks, were never used, by the Romans, because of their ridiculous size. It's a miracle, they weren't cut up, and re-purposed in antiquity.

    • @TheFruitcake1983
      @TheFruitcake1983 ปีที่แล้ว

      These structures were obviously built when there was a milder climate that allowed for a large population that was able to utilize a large amount of resources for construction. Then the climate changed, there were various cataclysms like earthquakes and floods (recently the deserts in Libya turned into seas) and everything fell into disrepair, other peoples came and started to build something there as far as possible. The excavations of the Wailing Wall showed that at the base there are the same huge trilithons.

      1650 tonnes
      64' x 19.6' x 18'
      Total weight in pounds: 3637627 lbs
      Average weight an adult can lift: 155 lbs
      Two people: 310 lbs
      To lift, it requires 23469 people
      64' x 19' = 1216 square feet, providing people are lifting even from under the rock, but to lift it from the ground, people have to gather around its perimeter.
      166' total lenght around.
      If lifted from the sides, there are 141 grown adults per foot lifting the thing, from the sides.
      Try fitting that in one foot.
      If they move it, and they are under the rock, that's 19 grown adults per square foot.
      Again, try fitting almost 20 people in one square foot.
      That's basic, basic math. I'm sure we could factor in other elements or variables in the calculations.
      But to move a rock of this scale, with our size and strenght, takes the population of a small city.

      This is an fully jaundiced one sided series of ideas which almost forces the reader to ignore the well practiced principles of the 'mechanical advantage '. The long lever ,fulcrum.and short operating beam, the round roller and the wedge have all been ommitted from your comments. These techniques are simple universal and require very little knowledge of sophisticated design and engineering . My belief is that these monoliths were cut with iron or steel chisels and mallets , wedged up onto wooden frames and supports, all now obviously removed without leaving a trace , a tiny bit at a time, until level and pulled over rollers on a perfect temporary wooden surfaced roadway using sisal rope and leather harnesses by teams of oxen or similar animals. By organising manpower and using the mechanical advantage of the lever/wedge /roller plus the construction in woodenramps and roadways these blocks were shifted slowly with care and few people, not a city's worth of labour . Exactly the same principles used in every human powered bicycle.

      I also have been thinking about this.
      The only plausible theorie would be that it was there at roman times but the romans would be afraid to cut to pieces to not enrage the suspected god-creators of the stones.
      On the other hand, if archeology suggests the romans would have changed plans and left it in the quarry ... this would also not have made any logical sense.
      The trilithons were placed in the foundation of the temple. If romans changed plans and continued with smaller stones they would shurely have rather cut the giant stone ant use the material instead of leaving it in the quarry.
      Considering the close location of the quarry it would also not made any sense to prefer other material. The romans would almost surely have used up the material in the quarry.

    I doubt it was Romans or Giants that would have moved these huge stones. The hardest thing about moving these stones is getting the smooth transfer of weight - they are so massive that any impact due to a lifting mechanism taking up the strain would crack or at least chip the block.
    How would they release the stone from the quarry at an angle like that?
    (you could not take up the load evenly unless it was laid flat and the forces involved would be enough to snap the stone along any line of weakness or slide it out of the lifting mechanism, destroying the block)
    At the other end of the journey how do you release any lifting mechanism to place the block flat and precisely positioned in it's resting place without jarring and cracking the stone or the surface it sits on?
    In the modern world we have lifting mechanisms that can move this mass but not in one solid block of stone like this (they are used to lift large quantities of loose material or prefabricated structures designed with anchor points for the crane to attach to). These cranes are also huge (they need to be to cope with the forces involved) and require vast areas of flat solid ground to support them which is not available at this site.
    We could not do this job with 21st century technology !!

    Wooden molds. 3:53 It is for many years when I see too homogenous pieces of huge stones in ancient structures, without any sort of mineral veins found in natural stones when cracked or cut rocks, it reminds me of molded blocks of concrete. It seems ancient people had more advanced methods of creating stones by molding than our modern concrete making. I searched the whole comments here for word "mold" , only one person was talking about what I say . His or her username is S. M. and commented like below: (you find that comment almost at the end of comments)

    It is useful to say that the one who built the temples of Baalbek could not be the Romans or the Greeks. Because the Roman antiquities are small in size and gigantic from the stones of Baalbek and the inscription as well. And I lived alongside these effects. In addition to the antiquities, there are caves in Baalbek that have not been discovered, and it is said that they are interconnected by internal corridors under the city of Baalbek and include the largest part of the city’s surroundings. . with greetings .
    The temples of Baalbek have nothing to do with what is said to be a palace built by Solomon for Bilqis. Where there is no basis for what is said in the history books. The validity of the existence of Solomon's Temple was not proven except by the legends of the Torah or any civilized structures in the land of Palestine.

      Ah yes, finally the voice of reason. As i said in previous videos, these giant stones could have been part of an ancient giant fortress and some of them have fallen down because of some ancient cataclysm. What if most ancient quarries are just ancient giant buildings that are almost completely buried by the periodic world floods?
      Many people just take the established narrative explanation for granted, but when we look at these ancient structures with our own eyes and ignore the narrative, a different picture emerges.
      To me, these rectangular stones were part of a massive citadel similar to the platform that remains at the temple of Jupiter. It fell into ruin and got covered by the mud of an ancient flood. These structures are from the ancient giant cycles, long before the romans came about.

    Great video and channel! My thoughts keep telling me that the attached quarried stones.. ie.."stone of the pregnant woman" is; the Romans commandeered the temple locations and built on top of the insanely large, megalithic foundation. No clue who the original builders were... but, I keep an open mind. Anyway, the quarry stones still attached may have actually been the Romans cutting the stone - trying to quarry it and add it to the site.. now with the romans installing the largest megalithic stones. However, they were only capable of the work we see now and had to abandon the project? ... if anyone has more detailed facts or theories ... I would love to read them! thank you!

And then, at 4:52, the erosion on another megalith has made it possible for us to see the small pebbles. To confirm my crust- crumb idea, just paying attention to the pebbles will do.
    At 8:51, the erosion has revealed some plates by the right ear of the gentleman and the erosion on another stone in front of him has revealed a whitish crumb, possibly white pebbles.

      How would forms for each stone be created as a wall grew upwards? What would hold form materials on opposite sides of a stone in place so that the weight of the poured stone didn't blow them out and away from each other? Steel rods that span across a concrete form do it nowadays...what did it back then, and is there evidence of similar structural elements anywhere in your poured stones?

      Those ones were only carved and not moved at all.

Plus in the next video we show evidence of Canaanite foundations, earlier than the Romans.
