As we look upon our great cities filled with towering skyscrapers, reaching ever higher to the skies, we could be forgiven for feeling a touch of pride at the scope and extent of human achievement, and our mastery of the landscape.
I am more incline to ask when the stones of Baalbek were first quarried? When were they moved and why such a massive platform was necessary? Supposed dates for its construction start from 27 BCE all the way back to prehistoric times, perhaps as far back as 11,000 years ago, and not by the Romans. The Trilithon stones at the Baalbek site are 15x heavier than the stones at the Great Pyramids. I find it hard to imagine a bunch of loosely knit clans of hunter gatherers needing ,never mind building, such a platform.
After all, that’s what it was originally. So the how is not as much a priority for me as opposed to the questions when and why?❔❓

Crappy article. Full of error. Not researched properly.
Nimrod directed the giants to REPAIR Baalbek.
The stones were moved by levitation. Far larger ones were moved at Gornya Shoria by the Denisovans many thousands of years earlier.
