The Roman Ruins at Baalbek, Lebanon [Amazing Places 4K]

Baalbek was a Phoenician city, probably named after the Phoenician god Baal, in Greek and Roman times it was also known as Heliopolis. Baalbec reached its height during Roman times, when between the 1st and 3rd centuries colossal temples dedicated to Jupiter, Bacchus and other deities were built on site. It is still a mystery how the largest stone blocks known from antiquity, weighing more than thousand tons, were moved to the temple locations.
Baalbec is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its apogee.

This is awesome! No pseudo-intellectual blabbing about how he "knows" it was built! Left to our own imaginations!! Thank-You for this video and the background music as well!

I visited Balbeck in 1991,just after the ceasefire,we were welcomed with open arms,what a country,love it,Balbeck was magnificent,the hospitality even better….thank you so much to Mohammed and family,luckily my friend was fluent in French,so we could chat about everything. ❤️ 🇱🇧

This was built before Roman Scientific said this can't be done by regular humans So they suggested that this confirmed that Geants existed

[@IRM-cm2ic]

It wasn't built by humans. It was built by previous civilization. How they built it - they had advanced knowledge and technology.

[@IRM-cm2ic]

@@28Justchecking Exactly. The so-called roman period of human civilization was about one and a half thousand years BC up to christ. While these buildings where built before the flood more than 10,000 years ago or right after the flood.

A small correction Baalbek existed before Roman was made and built by Phoenicians for their gods Therefore when roman conquered the land they added a bit to match their history as well

[@darealberrygarcia]

I've been there and suggest going. Really incredible place, same Beirut and Byblos

[@brentfrench752]

I always find incredibly amazing how the Romans were able to design, build and maintain their infrastructure, from roads, to aqueducts, cisterns, buildings, grand arenas, communal bathhouses, to statues and frescoes They also had a government from the emperor, to senators, to governors to tribunes and down through their modern military who effectively concord so much land and spread their empire throughout the world. Then the Romans were suddenly gone, and the world was basically thrown back into the dark ages, and were forced to build houses, halls and military forts from with tree trunks and branches, rocks, mud, straw and dirt because they had little to no knowledge of Roman construction. How can that be? What happened from one generation to the next where so much building knowledge was lost?

[@fallinginthed33p]

They didn't disappear. The Eastern Roman empire or what we now call Byzantium continued until the 1200s.

[@harlandeke]

We are going to find out when our civilization collapses.

[@clintgolub1751]

As another poster replied here, the “technical knowledge” wasn’t necessarily always lost as the incredible infrastructure required to manufacture all the various components needed, and all the disparate engineers and planners who needed technical schools and vocational universities in cities to learn the intricacies were broken down as civilization fractured into smaller in-fighting city states. Regional powers like the ‘Venetian Republic’ or ‘Genova’ at their height no where near reached the dizzying technical heights of the ancient _Pax_ _Romana_ . We in the modern world, just like the ancient Roman Empire are only able to build massive interstate systems because our ‘empire’ has progressed to the point where all the little pieces needed evolved in a complex modern civilization. HOWEVER, you’re 100% not wrong in that some knowledge absolutely was lost! ‘ _Roman_ _Concrete_ ’ which was able to build the beautiful engineering marvel’s like Roman aqueducts and viaducts, the Pantheon’s dome and the Colosseum had a special mixture with ingredients that was unable to be mined, brought in through elaborate global trade networks, and aggregated in just the right amounts at just the right temperatures in their respective facilities, that the specifics to how that concrete was made, became lost for many centuries. I oddly enough had to read a book back in college for a civil engineer course titled “The Big Roads” by Earl Swift detailing how the U.S. pioneered modern road networks in the 20th century for the automobile and it literally took an emigrant from the U.K named Joseph Aspdin in the 19th century reverse-engineering Roman concrete for DECADES to figure out how to make something similar which he called “Portland Concrete”. Portland Concrete’s old abandoned mining and manufacturing locations are all over the PNW, which is kind of a testament to how incredibly practical the rediscovery of ancient Roman concrete was for automobile traffic. Prior to that discovery, roads here in the U.S. were being constructed in many different types of compacted gravel and experimental asphalt’s based on available materials that could be mined locally to each road. It was a real mess and the roads would fall into disrepair within months of truck traffic. For all our shortcomings in modern roadway construction, we really have come so far in our ability to pave a nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Also fun fact: during the first 400 years of the ‘Freemasons’, they were essentially a trade guild “protecting” the secrets of the craft for job security. The more people could construct the stone buildings of 13th & 14th Europe, the lower the price their specialized labor could fetch on the open market, hence the original “secret nature” of that particular union (guild). So even in cases where old techniques were preserved, the transmission of the exact methods were still restricted. This is still done today in multinational corporations who purchase in bulk very old patents of extremely capable technology, then bury them to mitigate competition to their profit drivers.

[@olorin4317]

You should keep reading. History is wonderful and answers most of your questions. Many parts of Roman construction carried on and were surpassed later.

[@bruceburns1672]

Very easy to answer that question about what happened to the Romans , German invasions , look at the carnage murder and destruction wherever they conquered in WW2 , at this stage in their history they were actually civilised , they are very fortunate that one of their WW2 conquerors were the Anglo World or they would have been exterminated off the face of the earth like they intended to do to all other people's under their Jackboot .

I never though that Lebanon has this ruins Roman Empire. It's so incredible to see this ancient site.

[@28Justchecking]

That's not a Roman ruin the jnfo is faulty that a Phoenician, it was built for their gods Yet when Roman conquered the land they named it for them And that's only a small portion of what we have in Lebnaon But media is way busy showing fake news ( destruction not safe blabla )

[@artishakya2079]

Same structure in India also u can see❤❤❤ lovely nice work

[@nGAhGENVH0Ul]

Good accompanying music, it reminds you that once upon a time the place was new and people lived there. If only we had a better time machine, but for now this video will have to do! It also amazes me how humans built these massive structures through time to have some permanence while human life itself is so fleeting and brief. On a positive note for two thousand years despite many wars and groups of people moving in and out of the region they're still standing only withered by time, earthquakes and the weather. And if you have faith in humanity they will likely be there in two thousand years.

[@BorealicIceberg]

Years ago, when I was praying a lot and having a lot of spiritual experiences, I had a dream one night where I saw myself in a very hot place surrounded by lion statues. I remember a woman in a blue veil holding up her hand and counting "one for the Father, two for the Enchantress, three for the Secret Son". Years later, I heard of Baalbek for the first time and it was exactly what I dreamt of and the three temples were those of the gods from my dream (Jupiter, Venus, Bacchus). No explanation for it. Maybe I'd watched some TV show or something as a child and remembered it in my dream later but it felt different and very, very intense. No Phoenician/Lebanese blood that I know of either, though I've always felt a connection with these people. Praying for them.
