Ancient Acropolis of Baalbek, Lebanon
Baalbek, Lebanon is one of the great mysteries of history and provides
evidence of a past super civilization or, at least, a technically
advanced civilization of “prehistory.” The stone blocks of the
platform are the world’s biggest building blocks. The platform and big
courtyard are retained by three walls containing twenty-seven
limestone blocks, unequaled in size anywhere in the world, as they all
weigh in excess of 300 metric tons. Three of the blocks, however,
weigh more than 800 tons each. This block trio is world-renowned as
the "Trilithon".
This photo taken in 1870s shows the tremendous size of the blocks with
a man standing near the bottom left on the hill to compare the size of
the stones. The smaller upper stones of Roman date are haphazardly
placed on top to form a medieval fortress.
Scholar Zecharia Sitchen claims early Sumerian writings depict the
vast platform at Baalbek was a marvel of technology and was built as
landing place of the shuttlecraft of the ancient astronauts or
Anunnaki. It had been built before the flood in pre-Duluvian times.
The Anunnaki (those who from heaven came) came in groups of fifty with
the mission to obtain gold apparently to save their planet.
Our own science and engineering today cannot explain them; let alone
what their function was. It would seem some unknown culture could move
these great stones, place them on top of others, in perfect fit and
alignment, before the dawn of our most ancient cultures.
Their style is identical to the earliest cultures of monumental stone
we know of like the Egyptian Giza Pyramid, Malta, and the Pre-Incan
Peru cultures. Perfectly cut, though smaller, stones were found. The
megaliths were not designed as the foundation of the original
building, but were meant to be the top. Why? What for? The much later
stones of the Roman temple can be seen built behind and on top of
them.
This evolution in stonework is remarkable. From the small Roman and
Turkish blocks, we go further down to monumental blocks identical with
our earliest cultures. Yet lower than this, we come not to primitive
mud bricks or shanty-hut foundations, but to the greatest stones ever
worked by man.
At the southern entrance of town is a quarry where the stones used in
the temples were cut.
A huge block with 28 people shown is considered the largest hewn stone
in the world, still sits where it was cut thousands of years ago.
Called the "Stone of the Pregnant Woman", it is 21.5m x 4.8m x 4.2
meters in size and weighs an estimated 1,000 tons.
Greek historians wrote about Baalbek as early as 336 B.C. describing
that Alexander the Great had moved his Army past Baalbek after
defeating the Babylonians on his way to conquer Egypt. Interestingly
UFOs were also reported in the sky with red lights in the shape of
baskets moving extremely fast. They noted ruins dedicated to the
Phoenician sun god Baal were found... The significance of Baalbek is
its huge raised platform comprised of stone blocks of enormous weight
and size. Historians were told at the time that the stone platform was
the oldest on Earth. It’s thought to have survived the great flood
some 13,000 years ago. The original ruins may have been built by
Akkadians some of the first civilizations on Earth.
The Akkadian Empire reached its peak during this time and King Naram-
Suen (2291-2255 BC) aggrandized his kingly titles accordingly, calling
himself King of the Universe. His name, both contemporary and
subsequent to his reign, was prefixed with a star, denoting that he
was a god. The Akkadian Empire stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to
Iran
The Akkadian Empire fell around 2200 BC, the same time as the decline
of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the Indus Valley in Pakistan, and the
Early Bronze civilizations of Palestine, Greece and Crete. It is
estimated that a severe drought had been responsible for the decline
of these civilizations, and new evidence from the Gulf of Oman has
surfaced that it had the worst dry spell in 10,000 years and that it
lasted for 300 years. Although there is still no proof that it was the
direct cause of the empire's fall, there's a good chance it was a
litigating factor.
King Naram-Suen's Victory over the Lullubi
The Egyptians are known to have conquered the Beka Valley city and
fortress in the 9th Century B.C. in an area known as Heliopolis. The
Egyptians built temples to their sun god Ra on the ancient platform.
They are not clumsy artifacts, crude and compromised cuts like
Stonehenge. They are perfectly fitted 1,000 ton stones forming a
foundation not even a huge Roman temple could encompass.
Baalbek’s location is in Lebanese mountains, about sixty kilometers
from the Mediterranean Sea coast at 34º latitude and 36º longitude. It
was the center burial region in the midst of thousands of rock cut
tombs.
When Augustus, emperor of Rome had conquered the region in 27 BC, he
ordered that the massive obelisk towering above others at the Karnak
temple in Egypt be brought to Rome, but the effort was aborted, when
the trophy proved too heavy. Sources give varying estimates of its
weight, from 323 tons to 455 tons. Lavishing great architecture on
Baalbek then seems totally out of character for the undeniably selfish
Rome, which had at the very same time been stealing historic treasures
from other countries, such as the obelisks from Egypt.
It makes more sense that Baalbek had something no other place could
offer, not even the city of Rome, the heart of the empire. This
something may also be the reason why so many people wished to be
buried there. Rumors claimed this was where the Gods came to Earth.
It is apparent the huge stones in the retaining wall (platform of the
Baalbek temple site clearly look a lot more eroded than the bona fide
Roman ruins of the Temple of Jupiter, as well as those of the other
two Roman temples also on the site. Therefore, the heavily eroded
blocks should be much older.
This fact naturally gives rise to a different scenari At Baalbek Rome
had found a fabulous readymade foundation, a mighty platform to add a
suitably majestic structure to, stamping the Roman eagle upon the
whole for the perception of future generations. The acropolis of
Baalbek comprises several temples built by Roman engineers at time of
Christ over 2000 years ago.
One of the Trilithon foundation stones can be seen in bottom of this
view of Jupiter’s Temple.
The construction was built on top of earlier ruins which were formed
into a raised plaza, formed of twenty-four monoliths, the largest
weighing a 1000 tons. The Romans destroyed the previous structures
using some of the stones to build their own temples to worship
Jupiter. These are thought to be some of finest structures ever built
in the Middle East.
The Temple of Jupiter, the principal temple of the Baalbek triad, was
remarkable for its 20 meter high columns that surrounded the cella,
and the gigantic stones of its terrace. The adjacent temple dedicated
to Bacchus is exceptional; it is richly and abundantly decorated and
of impressive dimensions with its monumental gate sculpted with
Bacchic figures. The Round Temple or Temple of Venus differs in its
originality of layout as well as its refinement and harmonious forms,
in a city where other sanctuaries are marked by monumental
structures.
Acropolis of Baalbek, Lebanon with its colossal structures is a unique
artistic creation and an eminent example of a sanctuary of the
imperial Roman period. It is located on two historic trade routes,
between the Mediterranean coast and the Syrian interior and between
northern Syria and northern Palestine. Today the city, 85 km from
Beirut, is an important administrative and economic centre in the
northern Beqaa valley.
The origin of the name Baalbek is not precisely known. The Phoenician
term Baal means 'lord' or 'god' and was the title given to the
fortress. The word Baalbek may therefore mean 'God of the Beqaa
Valley'.
Historians attribute to Augustus the design of the imperial sanctuary
where a significant religious transfer came about to the benefit of
Rome. Whatever the case, the Romanized triad of Heliopolis (Jupiter,
Venus and Mercury) came to replace the Phoenician triad. It is
interesting to note the Roman Gods were names of Planets. The first
building work, that of the Temple of Jupiter, began during the reign
of Emperor Augustus in the late 1st century BC and completed soon
after AD 60 under Nero. The immense sanctuary of Jupiter
Heliopolitanus was lined by 104 massive granite columns imported from
Aswan and held a temple surrounded by 50 additional columns.

building blocks and provide evidence we were visited by ancient

I listen to Coast to Coast Am with George Noori, a lot, hours of
interviews so I'm up on these issues Morph, and also I get this email
from Filer's Files who compiles the writing that I have been
forwarding to people on the Usenet chat forums. I think these issues
are some of the most important in world history. Also you'll not it
was mentioned in one of the retent Filer's Files that archeologists
and anthropologists are tending to ignore these issues because it
would break the current paradigmn, move back the time line for when
civilizations were all over this planet, and they'd have to deal with
the idea of an advanced civilization influencing pre-historic human
civilization. Isn't it thrilling?

There is much happening in the world, theories change, it took the guy
who discovered plate techtonics his whole life trying to tell people
about what is now a common precept of science. New theories are not
accepted easily, and science is very political, it's not just about
exposing the evidence, if a theory threatens the common paradigmn it
is likely to be black listed. Archeologists and anthropologists are
having a hard time coming to grips with Erik Von Donigan type
theories, and what are they doing, the most interesting evidence and
data and these academics are ignoring it. It is said that a generation
may become like dinosaurs in which the current crop of scientists and
seekers may have to die from old age before a new generation comes
along that doesn't have so much invested in old theories and they can
more readily incorporate the new theories. Space aliens are visiting
the earth. An advanced civilization in ancient times was visiting and
influencing building of ancient structures.
