Unexpected Megalithic Surprises At Byblos In Lebanon

Brien is a pioneer of showcasing the ancient world.

Yusuf is a beast, I came across him watching UnchartedX... he's one knowledgeable dude to have on hand when visiting megalithic sites.

Wow!! Thanks Brien!!

[@LeePlumber-je5il]

Brilliant example of them using stone that's from a previous civilization.

[@Howard-bj1jq]

Good to see you! Miss the videos on Peru! Thanks for this video. At about 4:17, the piece on a column must have been on the end. There is an indentation that shows that it was shaped on a rotating lathe. Also, another end piece at 4:40! They are also different diameters, probably indicating different structures.

[@v4panigale26]

I’m from the UK and the mainstream Academia version seems to be more about funding than historical accuracy. To think that the Egyptians built the pyramids is ridiculous, they inhabited and repurposed them

[@Valkyrie_71]

I agree.. they definitely had a hand in preserving and restoration for sure. Some seem to think that the disovery of the Diary of Merer is irrefutable proof of Khufu having the entire great pyramid built for him, but when you really look at it, all the logbook records is the transport of white Tura limestone across the Nile. Not the construction of the actual core, or the process of how the internal granite was processed and placed. For all we know, Khufu just had repairs done to the casing stones. It 's not that unimaginable. There are many such records of repairs to ancient structures and temples. Even the Sphinx was under repair. The largely ignored Inventory stele clearly indicates it underwent repairs many times by different pharaohs as far back as the old kingdom, and that it was there before the great pyramid. But egyptology and archaeology like to cherry pick the truth and what they share with the public.

[@sangstar1]

The mainstream are in shock when you point out to them their errors in history and the megalithic sites that are much older than recorded history

[@Vision_2]

You think that pointing at stones is a valid argument?

Another evident of ancient Egyptian presence in Byblos are ancient coins found in this area depicting Sphynx dated to 5th century BC.

[@ShortbusMooner]

Recycling makes sense! 👍

[@russandrews3078]

Thank you!!

[@IamDuf]

A tieback primarily aims to enhance a retaining wall's natural strength. granite tiemacks would be very strong is why the ancient builders repurposed and used them.

[@kalamala13151]

That's so cool!

[@ThexBorg]

Great to see Stephen again

[@LooksLike-om4df]

Old video

[@travlingtrav]

@lamDuf is exactly right. I know these as ‘Deadman’ but yes, these are meant to stabilize the wall. The more request they are, the higher the wall probably used to be. Unbelievable, we’re still using this same concept today.

[@Skot2Breal]

Big Up B❤️💛💚

[@michellosier5115]

wow!

[@karimbenzid5534]

At the end of the video (7m30), we can see that the big megalith are not quarry stones but concrete, made with big gravel stones. This means that these megalith have been manufactured and do not come from a quarry.

[@WalterWagner001]

these might extend into the back-fill and help hold the wall upright.

[@PhillipJSheppard]

Those stones are huge.

[@PastTheFuture-xb8so]

Yes those are big blocks but some of them might be a bunch of different sizes rocks and stuff that make up the inside with a smear of rock stuff on the outside to make it smooth. Like if you fill a box with rocks, sand, bricks, a binder agent, then smear the outside with rock smear stuff how ever you want it. Thank You

[@tinotreloar8251]

What kind of rock smear stuff holding rocks together wouldn't crumble over thousands of years?...

[@kruelunusual6242]

[@hellgeist_]

Brien, the ancient Phoenicians were master builders, they supplied Egypt and other nations with materials and labor (masons). There are 7 (or more) older versions of the city under Byblos, it is as old as Egypt. What we see above ground today is not an adequate description of these people and what they were like 4000-5000+ years ago.

[@johnwalker1553]

Lebanon Kansas?

[@andymelendez9757]

These megalithic stones point to something lost in time. Samples should be analyzed for unusual properties or ‘signatures’.

[@johncopeland3826]

Can you say what the purpose was to fit those recycled pillars into the walls ? Was it purely decorative ..or something else ? Another fascinating , educational lesson from your team , Brien .

[@MichaelRath-z8e]

Decorative

[@Ibreakthingz]

Can we do a video that is new and over 15 mins pls

[@martiansatemybuick]

perhaps a Roman recycled an old temple from Egypt. To impress the neighbours

[@mike423]

I would want to see if the pillars have any hieroglyphs on them

[@anotherblonde]

Some of the granite and quarzite is mined in the Wadi Hammamat between Luxor and El Quseir/Red Sea. There are/were gold mines there too.

[@AAA-fb3bm]

Excellent videography, exposes the false narrative and shows the resilience of humanity

[@sinistersteel1042]

Think about those pillars in that wall and how long they have been there and then look at the erosion on them...... And now think of some of the erosion on some granite in Egypt and that tells you that that granite has been there for tens of thousands of years

[@polygonalmasonary]

Look like chopped up columns 🤔🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧♥️

[@ringo688]

Just watched a documentary that stated the Crusaders reused the columns to counter undermining by Saracen engineers, sounded plausible.

[@suprex594]

muito bom

[@nancyvolker3342]

I bet the trade of ceder wood and other goodies found there were use to get that rose they are smaller so easier to transport as pillars for a private residence a palace structure that is obviously no longer standing

[@21Million]

i bet they used the entire pillars without wasting any granite. you might be able to figure out how many there were?

[@agungsusilo9177]

Please your visit gunung padang in indonesia mr brian

[@enriquerosas6153]

They built it around the world. But no shape of one stone was the same.

[@digitalplayland]

Longer talks about ancient sites would be welcomed. Maybe few a year. Cheers

[@ArchLingAdvNolan]

Those are likely entire pillars used as horizontal structural internal bracing...

[@PeterMenardonpremier]

Concrete consists of three main components: water, aggregate (rock, sand, or gravel), and cement. At 8:02 in the video, focus on the bottom row of blocks.

[@brienfoerster]

nope

[@miquellluch1928]

Do you mean boulders inside the stone? Sharp eyes!!! You can see it too in megalithic (older than 7000 years) Egyptian statues. But this wall is NOT megalithic, how so? Do not stop, keep digging! 😉

[@miquellluch1928]

Also in the same image (8:02) on the center: POTENTIAL for vitrification, that's when the stone seems to peal off after the glass is gone. Just enough pieces to solve this hard puzzle.

[@polygonalmasonary]

And yet academia still won’t budge, and they still call you, and people like me, bonkers 🙄🙄🙄🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧♥️

Academics are ignoring all who do not present evidence.

[@sinistersteel1042]

I also have a theory about Egyptians and their tools and I would like to present my theory to somebody that will take it serious...... Because I'm pretty sure that I could prove that they could make tools that could do anything they wanted although I also believe they inherited all these things they didn't make them

[@carolsaia7401]

I tried to attach the picture of the bust of Lady El.... but could not. I found this bust on my FB feed. Edgar Cayce group. A statue at the National Museum of Archaeology, Madrid Spain. "This bust titled, The Lady of Elche, has a chequered past. Historians believe that her bust was carved in 400BC or so. Yet a modern day contemporary of Cayce has done a DTM reading and has stated that she lived in 25,000 BC and was an Atantean water "gingerneer". Her Star Wars style headdress enabled her to communicate with satellites, sites on the planet's surface as well penetrating the ground through radar for geotechnical purposes. I know this is a Cayce page and that I have strayed: the purpose is to stimulate thought and make the page wonder what the what ifs. If you look at the rear of the bust, it suggests an elongated skull, like Nefertiti!"

[@PaulValdez-y2g]

It makes me wonder what we will leave behind when we have shuffled of this mortal coil. What will the future repurpose?

[@PaulValdez-y2g]

The pyramids!!!!

[@paulflute]

a slight confusion in terms.. when you say 'ancient Egyptian' people will be inclined to think of Dynastic Egyptians.. it may well have bene them but you don't have evidence of that.. You have evidence of stone from the place we now call Aswan.. it might have been brought there later.. or indeed much much earlier.. at the moment we have no way of accurately dating stone or stone work..
