Brien Foerster Awesome job Brien...have a wonderful day

[@Namabasho]

Brien Foerster I am glad u visited my country and provided the world thse amazing info and clips! I hope to see u in lebanon every year as they are a lot of artifacts and probably secrets still to be known.

[@dmc3071]

brien i watched all your videos.. you are unique in doing this thank you

[@silentsilver8111]

+Bechara Halabi what's the threat level at the Moment ?

[@shuearie6869]

+Brien Foerster Hi Brien, thanks for making these videos of Lebanon's ancient monolith monuments. Did you notice a lot of the damage done, especially on the columns? That was done by imbeciles with modern weapons during the civil war of the 80's, I know this cause Baalbek was my home town.

[@karljakobsen4256]

Yes the scale of the many old buildings, does get my head spinning, trying to come op with a great explanation who and how they did build it all. We have still so much to learn...and thank you to the mighty power for allowing us to go back in time....with the mighty back to the future machines. Thank you for KZbin, Internet and the people making the videoes. Speciel thanks to you Brien Foerster.

[@Antipodean33]

As always Brien another mind blowing clip. The size of the stone blocks are staggering, my amazement and awe never seems to diminish, no matter how often i look and think about these ancient structures

[@asianthor]

It is just absolutely amazing the craftsmanship of those temples of more than 2,000 years. Goose bumps.

[@samayoub431]

Was there last month. No words, Pictures or Videos can depict the size and opulence of the place. Some of the marble columns are smooth as, after thousands of years. I can’t comprehend how they built such structures back then. It’s magnificent.

[@henrikrolfsen584]

The evidence for ancient high technology, is overwhelming, and it is in every corner of the globe! How can anyone even begin to dispute such evidence? It exists in thousands of places, and exists in chunks weighing thousands of tons. Thank you Brien Foerster for your good work and courage.

[@henrikrolfsen584]

@@legpol Take one good look, at the faces on the monuments in Egypt. They have been shown to have perfect symmetry, even when measured with lasers! Such perfection was not possible in ancient times. Look at the vases, and bowls, cut from solid granite hardness level stone. Then there are the perfect bore holes, and sew marks on heavy granite objects. Then look at the polygonal stone walls found on every continent. This kind of stone fitting has never been done even in modern times.

[@AllanBaguinon]

The reason I've become interested in megalithic and high technology is because I live on the Island of Guam, and we have these huge stones called Latte Stones, but no one here can explain how the ancient Chamorros built them. We have a population of 200,000 people. We're also a U.S. territory. The problem is that evidence of our people's culture is super primitive, and they themselves have no idea how the people, who are far more older than them, built them. I've also lifted a granite tabletop for my aunt when I was 16 years old with my brother. It was incredible HEAVY. And to think how these ancient civilizations built these monolithic structures with rope, wood, and pulleys is super illogical. No one knows how so many of these wonders are built. It's incredible.

[@Tony11442]

I'm in Lebanon everyone and I'm planning a trip to Baalbek with my girlfriend in the next 3 or 4 months (i live here) so if you are coming to this country feel free to let me know if you wish to join us. We're also gonna visit other ruins in Lebanon, like the altar of emperor Claudius and the temple of Adonis in Faqra. Although it's ruins are a bit smaller than Baalbek's, Faqra is much more beautiful than Baalbek as a town because it's a mountain town, imagine a high roman temple between green mountains and a gorgeous view (I've been there once but i have to go again). Good luck. Mike.

[@Rick-the-Swift]

Fascinating mind blowing stuff! Always love your vids! I especially appreciate that they aren't over produced- just simple and honest footage that we can count on being authentic.

[@TruNordics14]

This was loaded with up close visual content, wow thnx for this series - awesome.

[@Gunrunner223]

I very much enjoy your videos. makes me want to travel to theses places. in this part 4 at Baalbek, I noticed at 3:09, a very large stone that had been broken and smaller different type stones were filled in. perfect example of the Romans using a site that they found, that had been damaged. very similar to Peru and Bolivia. keep up the good work.

[@tubestore]

Thank you very much for always delivering a wonderful picture.

[@elfabian1167]

One further note about the column on the ground. The bottom plane of the columns has three apposing grooves to fit the next columns. This plane is extremely accurate. When one views it from the side and changes the angle of view, the whole plane goes into and out of view within a few millimeters. The ones in Rome which are also much smaller, it takes a few inches of head movement to traverse the plane. Completely superior technology. The cuts in the hard granite are straight and do not follow the rough spots impeded in the stone. I could go on for many hours.

[@charliestanley4502]

Please don't!

[@channel1_channel]

thanks Brien. Such a striking difference, just as you point out in South America.

[@artfernando1476]

I've been there for 2 times last 2017 and this August 2019 such a great place always amazing 😍

[@giuseppemezzetti5326]

La presenza delle persone davanti ai monumenti da l'esatte proporzioni e la maestosità dei templi e dei materiali. Grazie per l'ottimo video.

[@josiahgil]

The Bible says that when faced with men of great stature, their height was as the ceders of lebanon, and men were as grasshoppers in their sight. Lebanon was their point of reference because Lebanon is were they saw those giants

[@waldemarwaldemar9596]

you're wrong

[@Tony11442]

You are delusional like most people...

[@GaySingleMulatto]

The default image on my laptop is of this site: while looking at it I was struck with the thought of the likelihood of this being of megalithic origins. Your video confirmed my suspicions. Thank you Brien. Adrian

[@Jean-Pierre-Villard]

How blind are all the so called archeologists ? This is so clearly different builders !

[@kikojoseph4817]

They become more blind according to the size of the check. Moderate check is enough to buy plausible deniability or lots of "we're not exactly sure" responses. Local news and brief written articles are in this group. Mega paychecks get you a reoccurring role on national television and even political endorsement, even becoming a member of the priest-class of scientism, elevating you to a delusional god-like status. This group belongs to Bill Nye or Neil Degrasse.

[@Jean-Pierre-Villard]

SKYLANDBAK " going through time & generations of builders.." Yes and they beginn with giant perfekt shaped Stones until a much more intelligent Guy came and tell them that a little stone is lighter, from that time their construction look like shit BUT they are the same builders and this how progress work, yes of course ;-) I´m convinced that they are clearly different time, different Peoples, different culture and that you can observe this all around the World.

[@burningheart2909]

Jean Pierre Amalek : When you have scientists who have lots of letters behind their name, whove paid lots of money for those letters, there is a lot of pride in their indoctrination that their perspective is the only kind that can exist. CLEARLY this architecture screams of advanced knowledge, and is found all over the world.

[@Blackowl44]

Not blind but paid off

[@elfabian1167]

I have visited for some weeks this site which lies in the midst of a fertile valley with soft soil over 1200 feet deep and the quarry up near the top of the steep mountains to the North West, as well as other amazing finds hidden in those mountains. I have also visited the roman ruins in Rome. The Rome or Greek ruins pale in comparison to these towering Megalithic structures. The walls surrounding this 35 acre structure as well as the columns at the perimeter are much smaller and have the same architectural structure as in the wall of Rome and the pillars in Rome. Why would Rome build Towering structures abroad and minor ones at home??? The Stone work on top of the smaller building, (the one with the roof still on) is beyond anything we can do today in intricacy and duplication and maneuverability. Up in the mountains I have seen a 60 foot or so wide road come out of a mountain side run to a 120 foot high bridge bridge with a stream running through it and then back into another curve in the mountain. The bridge with an elliptical column shape and the road were one piece. This is one of many finds. Unfortunately a few years ago Israel Jets bombed Baalbek and I have not seen the damage since. Someone needs to voice a word of disapproval for destroying this amazing historical record.

[@johnbrown1314]

Israeli jets......it figures, after all they killed over a hundred American sailors onboard the USS Liberty, mercilessly.....they deserve all the bad karma they got coming to them!

[@KD-cg9iq]

I ask myself if the destruction made by present wars could be done on purpose to hide important historical knowlage, i it by coincedence that historical sites (Many times in the middel of nowhere) get demolished ? Who benefits from dumb keeping of the public opinion ?

[@Blackowl44]

K D it is just look at all the stuff these proxy isis fighters and groups destroyed

[@wheelmanstan]

Wow, the scale is so large that its....scary. Like trespassing in the land of giants really. And the detail at 2:43, my god! So was that ancient site incomplete, or was it destroyed in some way causing the Romans to repair or finish it in their own way?

[@farrjarr]

Very thought provoking structures. But certainly not Roman. Who ever had the knowledge and tools to create such structures, we're true masters of measurement. Where ever they were from. Great video. Many Thanks.

[@leroylem51]

Baalbek was a spaceport for the Annunaki... And not the only one... Hence, the massive foundation was needed to support the loads. The Romans knew all that. They had access to the library of Alexandria at the time when those long gone Anunnaki were just legend. Love your 4 part on this topic, Brien.

[@mattkolb2579]

Why wouldn't they just to land their spaceship on the ground?

[@mattkolb2579]

Or better still, why would they even need to land at all? I mean if they could cross interstellar space and all

[@leroylem51]

Matt Kolb Heavy cargo ships would need a pad, and supplies...

[@biokemical]

leroylem51 LOL nice trolling.

[@tommypetraglia4688]

Now there's a mystery for the ages... At 0:4 was a 21st century polymer swinging lid 13 gallon standard kitchen waste basket. It seems these ancients one more mysterious and accomplished than we could ever imagine

[@Elektrokissa]

Wow. Even there, there are those grooves or cut marks. And they indeed *do* look like something a modern machine would make. Not human hands and handheld tools. And also a rather cool place as such.

[@aybee63]

Remarkable!!!! What capability was known and lost perhaps we'll never know!

[@RonFella]

Hey Brien hate to burst your bubble but they just found Roman texts that explain how they moved the large stones. They would simply build wooden wheels on both side of the stone before they completely separated them from the base, once separated from the base the large stone would act like an axle between the two wheels and then it was simple to roll them anywhere they wanted. Mystery solved my friend. Makes total sense.

[@muzkat101]

Does the Roman blocks appear to be less weathered compared to the more ancient megalithic stone blocks, or are both about the same? If the same, would it mean both stones were then (probably) refaced by Roman's to remove any signs of weathering form the older megalithic stone? And if so, are there any other megalithic stones still around in Baalbek to suggest and or indicate it's weathered age is greatly, and or, significantly more weathered than the facing stones used in the complex? Are there any access points to see any too marks on the that compare and contrast with the Roman work? And what about common ancient measurements; what are the measurements of the Megalithic stone compared to the Roman stone...any distinct or obvious measuring differences, other than size? Is there a common 'standard' size to each megalithic stone; a clear divisible length to be determined that is clearly not of Roman standard measure?

[@portus521]

Speechless...and i say this with a cheerful smile on my fece !!!

[@allcingeye5881]

I was one of the first people to put a video of balbeck on you tube about 2007 I found peoples photos of the site from all over the net and put into a video. the place is still on my bucket list. one has to ask why would any one use such big block unless it was easy for then to do it. and of course we know these blocks are not concrete. this is a great clear video, Thank you.

[@allcingeye5881]

That paper stuff, don't last that long I guess paper will be ok if you plan On having a short life, just 80 or 90 years. what ever you do dont list it on a computer. there life span is about two years. stone list might be best. but a bit over the top. No put your list on the bucket galvanized buckets seem to last quite well.. and of course if to become a firefighter is in your bucket list well the bucket can help bput out the fire.

[@ellasAZ]

I don't understand why every one calls these ruins and many other ruins Roman... when the pillars are Corinthian Greek! Were they build by the ancient Greeks? No one knows, and if they know no one tells... besides, they look way much older than the Roman Empire its self! Thank you Mr Forester.

[@ellasAZ]

shubus I am tired of hearing that Roman thing all the time, I know Greece's history very well, I was born there. The thing is that who ever is trying for unknown reasons to rewrite history, any people's history, are forgetting that findings "talk" for themselves and can not be hidden forever! Thank you.

[@ellasAZ]

Arnoud1987000 It is good to have an open mind, but they look at least in the tens of thousands of years old.

[@nikosatsaves3141]

Vassilios Chantzos notice the presence of the greek trade mark=greek key,aka meander ,greek=μαιανδρος.

[@azabigail1]

This location is in Lebanon, this region in the Middle East was very near the center of the trade world at the time. So, with all of the ego and power the Romans had they could import whatever they needed for the mood they were in.

[@johnbrown1314]

+shubus Not even close!

[@sweetieturner3377]

Again. fascinating Brien. Thank you for your work. Questions...again, do we know how ancient peoples erected such megalithic constructs? Have you seen similar structures other cites? (ie. - smooth granite, lipped edges, a variety of building styles at one location?)

[@pastytit]

pointless asking him he just walks around chatting shit

[@azabigail1]

Phoebe, check out the videos on Incan videos, Machu Picchu, etc., they are amazing.

[@azabigail1]

+azabigail1 oops, please excuse "videos" after Incan, my brain and fingers are not connected yet, this morning.

[@johnbrown1314]

+Phoebe WashburnGates / look up Graham Hancock's new book, "The Magicians of the Gods" on Amazon.com and read the description of it. Megaliths though relatively rare are to be found around the world, Egyptian stone work on Pyramid Kufu is the same as Peruvian block work! Hit on "Megalithic Sites" on utube it's pretty cool.

[@Juiced10111]

When you look at all the structures found all over the world it seems there were advanced humans on earth that were advanced as we are today, but advanced in ways different from ours. Other kind of "technologies" and adapted to their then current environment. It is also obvious that these people were wiped of the earth taking their knowledge with them.

[@johnbrown1314]

+Bnei Hashem /It really is starting to look that way. We may very well be ancestors of the megalith builders or of their servant classes, possibly left behind or we may have hid to avoid being taken back with them.

[@smythstar]

Love the videos you do with that little camera, gives a fantastic sense of the place and scale, awesomely well done!! Ha and the "KHEMITTTTT picture time" must have been a bit like herding cats for the guides lol

[@Ap0lly0n7]

What was that small black thing at 03:15 that made that tap sound, right before it flew into the sky? Was that an insect that hit the video camera? Strange.

[@makeminefreedom]

Other than drill holes every cut in the quarry is rectangular not round. The image at 3:52 looks like a column being cut from a rectangular stone. Notice the curved under portion and the flat top portion being sliced and chiseled into a curve on the top left side. If this entire piece was rotated on a lathe why is only half of the column rounded? Minus any other evidence this looks like the way the ancients cut and shaped columns.

[@nickc6125]

[@erlandandersen5782]

Nice work, thanks for sharing! :)

[@Maggie_1965]

I want more videos about Baalbek ❤️🇱🇧

[@Ap0lly0n7]

What was that small black thing at 03:15 that made that tap sound, right before it flew into the sky? Was that an insect that hit the video camera? Strange. Would an insect hit the camera that hard to cause that sound before flying off into the sky? Hmmm. KZbin search Swarm of Orbs and put it on a big screen tv. Why would this orb be black, though? Maybe it isn’t black and just appears that way in the video. Maybe it was just a video glitch. I don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with physics that we can’t explain with math equations, yet. I mean how can they calculate what that flying object at 03:15 is? I’m thinking it may be linked to these megaliths, somehow. That’s what I’m thinking.

[@RonnieM]

Brien, do you know if the romans used columns that huge anywhere else?

[@AvenidaGez]

What kind of bullets can damage those so huge stones? I don't see stone balls or similiar things like huge bullets needed to destroy that way those constructions, How were they destroyed

[@isupportyou9929]

At 3:10 there two different kind of stones from two ages ancient and Roma mix together. There we can see that one of the "megalithic stone" was broken very like a stone made from clay or cement. I think that most of them are concrete with very high quality.

[@metalmauler]

look at the height of the through tunnel.ancient builders did not waste materials on tunnels.more likely tall for the original builders.

[@Ap0lly0n7]

At 03:10 I see a tiny black UFO, and hear it make a tap sound. Camera glitch, or something else? WTF is that? It makes no sense.

[@dmts8098]

Who did the floor in the tunnel. It seems glass smoth, very high gloss.

[@realmofmetal8696]

How did the Romans make the round uniform round columns? Machining?

[@michaelgermanovsky1793]

02:06 that break in the wall looks like plaster fell off. Could the upper part of the wall above it also be covered in plaster to make appearance of giant blocks?

[@megalonoobiacinc4863]

good observation, and yeah that's a possibility however for people who are used to seeing megalithic structures (highly recommend UnchartedX's channel), these blocks share many of the features seen around in egypt and elsewhere like in Peru, like you could almost say its the exact same builder culture.

[@gligachaz5047]

Incredible, almost took my breath away looking at the columns. Lots of strange comments though.

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

STILL HARD TO BELIEVE THESE WERE ALL CREATED USING SIMPLE HAND TOOLS FROM THE HOME DEPOT.

[@ainsleystevenson9198]

Gravity is not constant, why therefore do we assume it is? During a cataclysm gravity’s strength may have increased, instantly changing our ability to lift stone…why is this impossible?

[@sassypants7581]

WOW! Thank you so very much for making these videos, BEAUTIFUL! :)

[@Za7a7aZ]

Thanks for all the knowledge and information you share with us... But why all these short vids..? Btw..Did you know about the coneheads of Pathagonia?

[@SGDeGalvez]

anybody know what the largest stone/weight was moved by someone who we can prove were the ones who moved it? I cant think of any examples except maybe some concrete supports for bridges. It would be interesting to see what our technology is routinely capable of moving and compare to the ancients.

[@joesoboleski4282]

Bian if the Romans could make sowrds could this have given them the capiliby of making steel iron bronce the basics for industrial grinders . They could cast rough metal why not basics mach part also what does it take to cast grinding stone mixture with diamond dust ????? My

[@sef2273]

Why does everything have square holes cut into them

[@janettaschuch3591]

BBC or whover does a show on this or other sites they leave out the good stuff like the Aswan granite. Would like to have seen that shipment being sent. Thanks.

[@markcorreale8495]

Who built the megalithic stones? The same Romans who built the temple complex. Engineers have explained how this was done with wheels, come-alongs, ropes, pullies, oxen and men. They built wheels on the stones to roll them to the site. Then moved them into place with rolling logs and pullies, etc. Notice the holes drilled into the blocks for using levers. Not that mysterious really, just unbelievably magnificent.

[@NGNGHOST]

thank you for these videos waiting for more details

[@paulboorah1279]

Even with today's cranes and transporters, this would be a challenge to quarry, transport and construct. Oh to be transported back to that time to see how it was done.

[@ThexBorg]

Always amazing, thanks Brien

[@chapeltibet4551]

I am reminded of the reports by Z. Sitchin.

[@charlieballantry5971]

Who were the megalithic builders? 2:49 More advanced than human society today, highly spiritual and probably not indigenous to the Earth.

[@unitybonez]

I wonder why nobody ever mention the unreal similarity between the trilithon and the western wall of Jerusalem. Just under the square, underground, the western wall foundations consists of megaliths as big as the Baalbek ones, also presenting the same features. The wall itself is a close match to the Roman masonry above the trilithon. ..

[@wazza33racer]

especially the 1500 ton block metres off the ground we cant lift even today.

[@wms72]

Is the floor in the hall megalithic?

[@bujuaji]

normal sized humans do not need to build huge columns like this. Whatever lived within those walls was gigantic!

[@Ap0lly0n7]

Why did that little black thing make that tick sound, as it flew into the air, caught at 03:15? Was that a camera defect? I don't think an insect would make that sound. What is that? It's pretty strange.

[@BaronLoveburned]

they had the tech of cement making so why would they carve a block when they could make a form of cedar and morter

[@kevinbrislawn5918]

definitely those are some sort of diamond saw blade cut!

[@bartoszbuczynski7507]

not sure if Romans did small ones, smaller are similar to block in Giza.

[@johnbrown1314]

Those columns should raise a few eyebrows....The Romans produced 'humanly manageable' block work, the megalithic work on the other hand is humanly incomprehensible not only in size but in the man hours involved. To produce one block without using iron or steel tools is as you already are aware, improbable. There would have been considerable production planning involved, which I am very familiar with, site survey and layout, material sourcing, transportation logistics, manpower procurement, commodity supplies, etc. Who would have had the knowledge for site selection? That alone would require serious evaluation skills of ground compaction ability, this also implies previous experience in weight displacement and material handling. Who would have the creative experience to provide the overall architectural layout? Baalbek is massive and technically successful through some pretty admirable forethought .The bottom line is that human kind seems capable of most anything "if given the correct tools", and tools are after all the crux of this conundrum. Mind blowing and humbling at the same time, Baalbek as well as the other megaliths often keep me awake at night....mysteries help define my life by keeping it all interesting. Thanks for the work you do!

[@knunyabeasewhacks8744]

Anyone ever care to think that different crews, did things differently, or maybe they changed the way they doing things on the fly? Maybe they where over budget, and behind schedule.

[@evilmadness8052]

[@Ap0lly0n7]

Tiny black orb spotted at 03:15. Same time you can hear a strange tap sound on the camera. Man, that thing moved fast. Whatever it is. Large tv, plus headphones, may be required. You can hear the same tap noise, again shortly afterwards. I had a feeling that place was haunted. Something strange happened there, I'd imagine. Maybe they stopped building at Baalbek, because they got flooded.

[@ovonisamja8024]

+Ap0lly0n7 Haha, this is good. If you made it more dramatic, I guess you'd get more likes.

[@Ap0lly0n7]

Why would that be dramatic? Are you blind? You can't see the black matter moving towards the sky, close to the wall?

[@Ap0lly0n7]

I'll review it on MY BIG SCREEN TV, just to make sure it's still there at 03:15 in.

More Ballbek videos!!

[@wzupppp]

the roman stones are big too compared to the small bricks we use today lol

[@levanthasis]

Mr. Foerster is clearly a PIONEER what comes to "Baalbek". I haven't seen such a detailed and also expanding overall VIDEOS previously anywhere in public BEFORE concerning this mysterious, stunning site. For example, he showed a piece of red granite by close focus in which were conspicuously EXACT intersection notches done by an unknown method thousand(s) of year(s) BEFORE Romans. - It is also appropriate to pose a question ( among several others still unanswered concerning "Baalbek" alone ) ; " W-H-Y Romans would have gone to Middle-East to cleave, labour and transfer Gigantic stone-pillars weighing EACH well over 1000 tons, I-F they had N-O-T DONE S-O in they "Home-Yard" in Rome, or would not have been able to do?" They were not made so in Rome.

[@irishelk3]

I heard Sadhguru say that Baalbek was built by The Indians and they used Elephants and took the stone from Egypt and you can find Lotus carving's at Baalbek, which is the sign of Indian masons.

[@sscot720]

They are called Raphaim and/or the Nephilim.

[@KeyhaneBishomar]

I'm sure not all of these are from Roman empire, not even in Rome there are such giant granit temples, also the giant granit looks alot older than 2000 years, I think they are from Egypt or Assyrian empires 2000/3000 bc ,maybe even older! 🤔🤔

[@whatmakesittick8362]

When I study ancient technology it's clear that there was a comprehensive set of tools and techniques used thousands of years ago that mirrors much of the "Advances" of modern day technology. It seems that many of the advances of today are nothing more than rediscoveries of far older methods. Here is the perfect example. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism The Antikythera mechanism is not only an astrological/astronomical clock, it serves as an example of highly advanced machining techniques. If this device exists, you can be sure there were several others in use at the time this device was crafted. We are talking about 2000 years ago. Modern clock making and movement machining didn't really become perfected until 1400CE or so, right? Not so much it seems... Just think about the TOOLS that are required to create perfect gears that can properly mesh, and be supported by bearings that don't create too much friction. In other words, the MACHINE TOOLS that were required to make this device had to be in existence and somewhat refined and perfected LONG BEFORE ASSEMBLING the Antikythera mechanism. This leads me to believe that this device and other lost technology similar to it had been fairly common at the time it was used. Whoops, sorry you guys at the Smithsonian! Sorry all you school teachers and archaeologists! The Antikythera mechanism is definitive proof that machine tools had been refined and in use over two thousand years ago, there is NO OTHER EXPLANATION.

[@nabaker25]

Wow, amazing!

[@levanthasis]

To stay in basic essentials ( because of the vast "ocean" of long Middle-East history ), something supportive must be added to this view at hand: When "King Herod" REBUILD the "Western Wall" in Jerusalem, he also replaced "Foundation Stones " which in the corners and underground weighed between 50 - 550 tons (approximately). Now, when Romans destroyed Jerusalem around 70 AD and the Wall with it's SMALLER stones., they were U-N-A-B-L-E to DISMANTLE those of the heavier sizes (!). This is written in the History-Books. SURELY they would have been ABLE to do that I-F they laboured and manufactured or could, "Trilithron" in "Baalbek" with their 300-ton smaller counterparts with other unmoved three Mega-Monoliths weighing between 1.000 - 1.600 tons with relative ease? They COULDN'T. THOSE Stones are still in their places TODAY in Jerusalem at "Western Wall". - Wall was partly fixed after destruction at several time-periods by Romans, Ottomans, Crusaders and Arabs. Fine craftmanship of the original Herod-Wall ( NOT builded by Romans ) bears some resemblance of the Baalbek - Stones. Sizes, joint-seams, some square-holes and smoothness. - There's NO doubt that Greeks and Romans had impressive, BEAUTIFUL architecture and great building capabilities, but "Baalbek" was just TOO MUCH for them to swallow in OTHER sense. We are speaking of ONE-PIECE Monoliths here and NOT the Architecture in general. Nowhere in ancient VAST Roman Empire-area is to be found such an enormous Giga-Monoliths than in Baalbek. Nowhere. Romans brought some 200-ton Obelisks from EGYPT and build some of those kind here and there, but NOTHING compared to "BAALBEK" - Stones. - It's also conspicuous ( please forgive me my immodesty - I can't help myself adding this ) that several engineers, physicists, mathematicians etc. PARTICULARLY from Romanic - language areas in the Mediterrannean countries on modern times tend to BELITTLE the problems posed by transporting and installing those GIGA - STONES into their places whereas LOCAL Middle - East peoples do NOT. Specifically - besides needed force - what comes to potential volume of variables regarding engineering calculations vs. PRACTICAL E-X-E-C-U-T-I-O-N-S. - As a CURIOSITY, recently in 2014 founded Stone that weighs 1.600 TONS ( excavated from underneath the "Stone of the Pregnant Woman" ) was according to German Research Team M-E-A-N-T to transport A-S O-N-E P-I-E-C-E. - Lastly, Mr. Graham Hancock is likely - subjectively speaking - right when he remarked that "...probably Romans were unaware of those Stones that were still buried at the site...".

Multiple cultures, multiple cataclysms.

Might be the Philistines, Canaanites, Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelled in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon to the entering in of Hamath.
