A Complete Exploration Of Megalithic Baalbek In Lebanon

Check out our upcoming major tours

When I was in grade school, I was taught that these ancient structures were constructed using copper chisels and moved into place using wooden sleds and ropes. At the time, I was too young to call BS, but I'm too smart now to consider that's even a remote possibility.

This is truly paradigm shattering footage.

Its amazing to see the Temple of Bacchus. Some of the footage in this video clearly shows machined and lathed stonework. Great video. Love it. Keep em coming Brien!

What a wonderful tour behind the curtain! I would agree those stones look pre-cataclysmic!! Thanks Brien🏛😮🗿👍👍😊

[tlamiczka]

Thank you very much for these slow, steady shots with no nonsensical editing, visual effects or music. Your video gives me a much better idea of the majesty of this ancient wonder.

p.s. I still can't understand that someone can claim with a straight face that such buildings were made by some primitives using copper chisels and stone hammering.

Oh my! Ancestral land, be brave against greed and genocide. Great GrandMa Land.

Hi, Brien. Thank you for sharing. This beyond anything other people have revealed. Kudos.

[alihamzeh]

Thank you.
Magical.
God knows how and who was able to do such an amazing work. 10, 000+ years old for sure.

How did the get the ground compacted enough to hold these blocks perfectly?

[ghostrider-beek]

thank you Brien! another gem of a video for detail nerds like me - I'm guessing they dont allow drones in Lebanon either as the view from 30-40ft up would be incredible

Notice the small square holes towards the top of the rock. These are holes that would be used by the megalithic people to support roofs or other things on the wall. It was easier for them to drill into this rock and make these cuts than it is for us today.

Thank you for pointing out the machining!👍🫡 To many people today still think they were using copper chizzles and sticks. Something to remember is that THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. 'History tends to repeat itself' is not just a saying. These massive stones that are to hard to comprehend may have ben done by GIANTS. They were around a long time ago...

Thank you' that's incredible. I'll never see it live, but It's amazing none the less.

The largest stone ever moved by manpower alone is the Thunder Stone, an enormous boulder of granite serving as the pedestal for a statue of Peter the Great at St Petersburg, Russia.

Before being cut into the pedestal shape, the Thunder Stone was estimated to weigh around 1700 tonnes. It was moved 6 km overland to the Gulf of Finland from the marsh in Lakhta by dragging it across the Russian countryside during the winter of 1768, a process taking 9 months and requiring 400 men, towing it upon sledges with enormous crank and pulley systems.

This monumental act was accomplished in relatively recent history in comparison to other megalithic sites, but no doubt the basic technology for such acts would have been much the same.

What's amazing to me is the excellent grade of stone used with no creases, flaws, microfractures, etc. To cut it clean and no flaws!

@ 10:44 looks like Stones from the Temple Mount?

[katet]

Great exploration! Wish to visit Baalbek someday.

[jimmurphy]

10:46 What are the odds that the "Stone of the pregnant woman" or Foundation Stone, slides right into this spot where the Romans filled in with smaller stones?

[TheDAT]

Keep it going Brien. The more people who know, the better.

[sitindogmas]

just amazing to ponder what once was long ago, think we were there to, in essence
