    Baalbek: The most massive stones on planet Earth




    Located in present-day Lebanon, this millenarian city is one of the most important
    archaeological sites of the near east.


    It was one of the most important ancient Roman cities in the Near East and was previously occupied by the Greeks. Some archaeologists argue that it was consecrated by the Phoenicians to the worship of the god Baal. No one knows the origin of the city although numerous theories have been proposed.

    According to conventional archaeologists, it was a Phoenician sanctuary dedicated to the god Baal; it was a Greek City called Heliopolis (City of the Sun) and since the time of Emperor Augustus, it was a Roman colony. The truth is, the exact age remains a mystery, but some researchers consider this ancient megalithic site as being at least 12.000 years old but could be over 20,000 years old.

    Among the most intriguing of these megaliths is the Trilithon, and here is the cool part: three colossal blocks measuring 22 meters in length, 4.5 m high and 3.5 m wide. Their weight ranges between one and two thousand tons. These three huge megaliths tons on a row of six blocks of granite that measure each, 10 meters in length and 4 height and weighing over 300 tons.

    Baalbek is an ancient city out of this world.

    This site really annoys the traditional archaeologists, one of those sites that gets less amazing as the newer people add to it over time.

    They set themselves up to be annoyed, didn't they? Their ways were too set in stone.
