Austin Kole Carlisle I didn’t do it- but they did!

[@muellertobias1441]

An interesting detail can be seen at 10:53. The natural features of the stone (quartz inclusions etc.) continue over the joinery. This means the stones were already neighbors in the quarry and were then cut and reassembled. However, modern saws are at least 1 cm thick which means you lose some material as you cut. The ancients, however, managed to cut without losing any material. I don't believe in aliens, but the least you have to admit is that the ancient builders had technical capabilities now lost to us. Who would even tackle such a project unless he had the capability to move these stones with ease?

[@Davidbirdman101]

I love reading the comment section. So many people arguing about things they know nothing about. Repeating things that they heard on different videos and acting like they have some kind of specialist training in archeology and science. It's hilarious! Then when someone points out their error, they start with the name calling. Also, there's always some guy complaining about the voice over, the accent, the pronunciation.

[@lewisdoherty7621]

The Romans left clear engineering drawings on moving megaliths: Wooden wheels were constructed on each end of the megalith, turning the megalith into a large axle. Then numerous ropes were wound around the stone axle and a large number of men, oxen and horses pulled on the ropes and the whole thing rolled. Large wheels go over large obstacles. This is the reason there are no drag marks. The stone isn't drug and it isn't even pulled over rollers. The holes on the stones are for pegs to hang the marble facade. Often the marble facades were looted to build other buildings. This happened to the marble in the Roman Coliseum which was looted to build St. Peter' Basilica and some of other parts of the Vatican. After the marble is taken, what is left is the base structural stone with holes in it.

[@williamusrex6417]

Lewis Doherty How do you get wheels under a megalith? What kind of wooden wheels could take the immense weight???

[@markhughes7927]

All great efforts generally come down to tension - or using the tensile strength of the molecule - and vegetables i.e. ropes (windlasses) pulled by grass-fed oxen. In our day the cost of the production of wind turbines and their maintenance put into nylon spinnaker sails instead and deployed in ocean currents for electrolysing sea-water would return million-fold in the achievement of purpose. At the heart is tensile strength and it is to be supposed that the ancients understood this very well.

[@shivshankredemption5024]

Yeah, because the "Romans" totally built these things all over the world.

[@lewisdoherty7621]

​@@williamusrex6417 There are piles of chips left over from quarrying. The megalith is moved with wedges off the stone shelf it was harvested onto the pile with the ends exposed and then large wheels built around the ends. Wooden wheels which are wide can support a large stone as an axle the same way you or I could build a small wheel around a brick using toothpicks and sewing threads which would support the weight of the brick. I haven't seen the illustrations, but suspect four bundles of tree trunks each making up a quarter of a circle with a flat bottom to go up against each side of the monolith are lashed around the monolith and then some tree trunks placed where the bundles meet to protect the edges of the monoliths to create wheels.

[@lewisdoherty7621]

@@shivshankredemption5024 Since the engineers, architects and workers all over the world without being in communication with each other can analyze similar problems and arrive at similar solutions, different civilizations can cut, move and place monoliths. These just require societies to have the willingness to invest substantial resources in projects. This occurs with cathedrals and sports arenas.

Built by giants: 2 Samuel 21: 15 And the Philistines were again fighting against Yisra’ĕl, so Dawiḏ and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines. And Dawiḏ was weary, 16 and Yishbo-Benoḇ - who was one of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred pieces, who was bearing a new sword - spoke of striking Dawiḏ. 17 But Aḇishai son of Tseruyah came to help him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then Dawiḏ’s men swore to him, saying, “Do not go out with us to battle any more, lest you put out the lamp of Yisra’ĕl.” 18 And it came to be afterward, that there was a battle again with the Philistines at Goḇ. Then Sibbeḵai the Ḥushathite struck Saph, who was one of the sons of the giant. 19 And there was a battle with the Philistines again at Goḇ, where Elḥanan son of Ya‛arĕy-Oreḡim the Bĕyth Leḥemite struck Golyath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 20 And there was a battle in Gath again, where there was a man of great height, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number. And he also was descended from the giants. 21 And he reproached Yisra’ĕl, and Yehonathan son of Shim‛i, the brother of Dawiḏ, struck him. 22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of Dawiḏ and by the hand of his servants. 1 Chronicles 20: 6 And there was fighting again at Gath, where there was a man of great size, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six and six. And he too was born to the giant. 7 And he reproached Yisra’ĕl, and Yehonathan son of Shim‛a, Dawiḏ’s brother, struck him. 8 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of Dawiḏ and by the hand of his servants. 1 Chronicles 22 Benayah was the son of Yehoyaḏa, the son of a brave man from Qaḇtse’ĕl, who had done many deeds. He struck two lion-like Mo’aḇites. He also went down and struck a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day. 23 And he struck a Mitsrian, a man of great height, five cubits tall. And in the Mitsrian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam, and he went down to him with a staff and wrenched the spear out of the Mitsrian’s hand, and killed him with his own. Deuteronomy 1 28 Where are we going to? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we, the cities are great and walled up to the heavens, and we saw the sons of the Anaqim there too.” Deuteronomy 2:21 a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anaqim. But יהוה destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, 22 as He had done for the descendants of Ěsaw, who dwelt in Sĕ‛ir, when He destroyed the Ḥorites from before them. Deuteronomy 9:1 “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: You are passing over the Yardĕn today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and stronger than yourself, cities great and walled up to the heavens, 2 a people great and tall, the descendants of the Anaqim, whom you know, and of whom you heard it said, ‘Who does stand before the descendants of Anaq?’ 3 “And you shall know today that יהוה your Elohim is He who is passing over before you as a consuming fire - He does destroy them and subdue them before you. So you shall dispossess them and destroy them quickly, as יהוה has said to you.

At 24:30 it is strange that why the stone on top left hand side was broken up there instead of falling down in whole piece. It probably hit by extreme power from above.

[@BubbleOnPlumb]

The large blocks in the quarry were carved out at an angle to facilitate their removal. Cutting the blocks from the bedrock at that angle serves to simultaneously create the ramp that allows the removal of the block from the resulting pit. This would have been a time-and-effort saving measure used during the quarrying process.

[@thepolyhobbyist]

Well perhaps. Remember that you have to remove the slope at the top first. So timesaving can be argued.

The narrator seems to dismiss the idea that Roman civil engineers had the know-how to move the Trilithon stones. He suggests, then immediately rejects the idea that the Phoenecians ( an even less advanced culture ) could have moved them. The study of ancient history requires years long study and commitment. A huge volume of knowledge has accrued by all the researchers that have studied and written about this and other sites. It's alluring and exciting to imagine a vastly more advanced technological civilization that still decided to use huge blocks of limestone as their preferred building materials. And this hypothesis or the Ancient Alien idea both raise many more questions than they answer.

One question why was it necessary to built with these big and heavy blocks. Was there a gravity distortion which made weights less heavy or was it important the wall wouldnt wash away..?

[@VtreyusV3]

[@omega2469]

It is obvious that the structure was not completed due to the fact that some of the stones are cut but still in the quarry.

Notice on the outer face of that block there is a damaged and eroded 'lump or knob', those are used for alignment and in this case the knob on the block below is preventing that block from sliding off.

[@theelectricorigins846]

Your video us superb. Good images. It seems quite unbiased so I congratulate you. However, I guess there are some inaccuracies. biased. It is argued by the Mainstream that Baalbek is roman, that it cannot be old since the Trilithon stones and the limestone quarry stones do not show signs of erosion similar to the Sphinx of Giza. Even more that there are no ancient records previous to the Bronze Age talking about the site. Romans were famous by leaving historical written records of their buildings. In this case, there are just 4 ancient texts speaking about Baalbek. Antonius Pius started the construction of the Large Court in the II century AD, which was finished by his son Septimus Severus and was continued to be worshipped till the kingdom of Elagabalus (1) (2). His son Carcalla finished the Propylea. The roman emperor Phillip the Arab (Marcus Juluis Philipus), built the Hexagonal Court in between the two former structures. Later on, Constantinus the Great, demolished the Venus Temple in order to build a Basilica in the III century. Justinian carried away the remaining 8 granite columns to Hagya Sophia in Constantinopla(3). There is NO SINGLE document about the Jupiter and Bacchus's Temples. If they were so skilled why not to quarry granite near Constantinopla, and had to unmount, cut and transport over 1000 km 8 heavy columns??? Sphinx erosion in Giza was due to run-off water, which didn't take place in Baalbek (not a plateau). There are several evidences that Baalbek could have been buried under "several meters of mud" and clay. Thus erosion would have NOT happened. (5) A layer of as of 30 cm between the Bronze and Iron Age reinforces the statement. Drawings in the Temple of Bacchus cannot be seen below 10 meters high (there are pictures). But anyway, the best way assess the truth of this is to watch collections of vintage photos of Baalbek, of which there are hundreds (even video footage) on the web (I can provide a bunch of them). To evaluate the reach of the sludge just take a look at some ancient Pregnant Woman pictures and compare them with current ones (will see the lower part which is 5 meters high, almost completely buried, and al field arround full of slit. Going on with the erosion you may appreciate it in the PRE-ROMAN PODIUM (8) and the columns (again I can provide pictures). Granite sawing cuts like the ones at Giza can be found everywhere. In fact, it was so buried with sludge that beside the Pregnant Woman it was discovered in 2014!!! the so-called Baby-Stone (1600 tons) under more than 5 meters below the Pregnant Woman (1200 tons) stone. There could be some discussion about whether the base of the stones in the quarry is finished or not, but that's beyond the scope of this comment. There are some webs that shows a collection of drawing and pics from the XVII-XVIII centuries where the burial and rubble spread all around is manifest. The South Wall of Bacchus Temple (to the left as you enter) is badly damaged (it has been somewhat repaired during last decade, but I have older pictures), showing clear signs of black burning and vitrification, especially compared with the North Wall (to the right). Probably a plasma wave or discharge? (speculative). just open your mind, unbias it, and take a fresh glance at the Podiums; it's a sort of Sesame Street exercise for children: Large Stones below (50-300 tons), Small 'bricks' to both sides and above. LARGEEE-SMALLLL The Podium is a pre-roman terrace which is acknowledge by Lohman and other mainstream historians (9). In fact, there are papers that acknowledge the uncertainty about the TWO PODIUMS. In relation t1o the repairing column mentioned by Hanckock (I think is not so important), it is probably a Roman or Arab repair. Romans are supposed to be more intelligent than that. Even my 3 year old nephew knows it makes no sense to place a cylinder under a hole to support squared stones. If they were so skilled, why shouldn't they cut a squared stone to make the repair?? More questions: why did they left big stones in the quarries (1 km away from Baalbek)? Why no record or writing account of such incredible feats? Why didn't they built that huge Temples in Rome itself, instead doing it in a desert in the middle of nowhere? If the quarries were covered with slit which reached the level of the Podium Base (and the Trilithon, 10 meters in Bacchus temple) that explains why erosion didn't happen. Additionally it explains why no other accounts were made of the site, since even today new discoveries are being unearthed. Ir Romans would have noticed the Pregnant Woman or the Second Stone they would have used it as an easy material source (something like this happened in the Second Stone, from which some slabs were cut, probably by the Arabs). About moving the stones very bad references are given. Video is full of speculation such as saying that the western wall is a retaining wall which is mere lucubration and can't prove it. Another supposition is that Romans built the founding stones in the Jerusalem Temple. To assign a monument to a specific people one must have some evidence, yet there are none about Jupiter and Bacchus Temple, the Podium or the monoliths in the quarries. The Roman soldier and historian Ammianus Marcellinus (400 AD), wrote about the time of Augustus Emperor (14 AD) anD the LATERAN OBELISK (found in laying Karnak) : “...as for this one recently brought in, he neither ventured to meddle with it nor move it, overawed by the difficulties caused by its size” (11). Then about the periord of Constantine the Great (312 AD) he writes: "...After these provisions, the aforesaid emperor departed this life and the urgency of the enterprise waned, but at last the obelisk was loaded on the ship, after long delay, and brought over the sea and up the channel of the Tiber, which seemed to fear that it could hardly forward over the difficulties of its outward course to the walls of its foster-child the gift which the almost unknown Nile had sent. But it was brought to the vicus Alexandri14 distant three miles from the city. There it was put on cradles15 and carefully drawn through the Ostian Gate and by the Piscina Publica and brought into the Circus Maximus”. (11) So if the romans COULD NOT MOVE the LATERAN OBELISK (just 330 tons) in the time of Augustus, how do you want us to believe that 200 years later they were able to manage 1200-1600 tons blocks!!! NOTE: Not one of the Egyptian obelisk stolen by Rome weighed more that 330 tons!!! (12). First modern SUPER-CRANE able to lift nominal 1,000 tons was Krupp K 10001 built in 1971 (15). It was a mix of mobile and fixed crane and was constructed to build the Olympic Munich Stadium. The subject of the THUNDERSTONE (pedestal of Peter the Great horseman statue) is at best flimsy. The 1500 tons block, moved some impressive 6 km over an ICY MARSH land, was apparently split from the base rock by lightning, which could have some issues on its density (speculative). There is just one paper in french by J.P Adam (17) and some circling references from wiki to wiki. Even if Romans knew about winches, pulleys or capstans, it doesn't mean they were able to move such stones. The proof is they didn't move the monoliths in the quarries (probably because they were buried and unnoticed) and they could NOT even move the LATERAN OBELISK of 330 tons. We could argue about the wooden sleigh devised by Carbury (greek architect) which half meter thick base was protected by a cooper-tin-calamine alloy (bronze with calamine). Did romans knew calamine? To finnish with this, that XVII century men were capable of moving such a stone doesn't imply the romans could. Otherwise it is a Fallacy. Endeed, it's written by themselves they COULD NOT MOVE A 330 tons OBELISK. Bear in mind that modern 20th century man had serious issues to build a 6 meters high pyramid in Mark Lehner's Nova Experiment with 2-3 ton blocks. Nippon Corporation also had serious headaches to transport such blocks through the Nile from Turah quarry to setup a 20 meter high roughly unpolished pyramid. And the 20 more advanced countries in the world spent 6 years to disassemble Abu Simbel Temple needing to cut in small portions in order to move it up the slope when Aswan Dam was finished in the 60's. About the age, well there's no evidence as we cannot date rock. But it's possible to speculate with a lesser gravity, so it would belong to pre-Flood age.

[@h.al.8801]

If each monolith weights an average of 800 tonnes, you will need at least 13 of the biggest human hydraulic cranes to attempt to move a single stone. No way ropes and wood will even move these one foot. I was in Jerusalem at the bottom of the temple. The same architecture was used. Forget about ropes, wood, chains, etc. You have those layers of petina growing on these stones. That takes thousands and thousands of years to grow. The only ancient document, that I know and talks about these, are the Sumerian tablets. Stichin did a lot of research on this. His books are not perfect, but do help.

[@h.al.8801]

As per the Sumerian Tablets, Enki is the Genius that 450,000 designed and built the infrastructure for the Anunnaki conquest. But now they are getting DNA and are looking at Neadertal men.
