ln a quarry about 3/4 of a mile away (1.13 km) from the main Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek, Lebanon, this giant construction stone matches the 3 in the foundation known as the Trilithon . These are the largest worked stone on earth. Some have estimated it to be almost 2,000 tons, the weight of three 747 airplanes. Our best cranes would struggle.. How were these moved in remote antiquity??

Baalbek may become a focal point for the dichotomy being uncovered throughout the world today between the prehistoric past we assume existed and our earliest cultures of history. The massive and elegant Roman stonework and columns pale by comparison to the megaliths they were built upon. The temple very visibly incorporates into its foundation, stones of some 1,500 tons. They are some 68 x 14 x 14 feet! They are the largest worked stones on earth! It is a mystery how such stones could have been moved into place, even according to our science and engineering knowledge of today. It is also a fact the Romans did not use this type of stonework.
