They still can’t explain it…and there is an update

In Ballbek Lebanon there is a great archaeology mystery.  There are some insanely big stones that are ginormous and archaeologists can’t agree on the same historical opinion.  The narrator mentions that many archaeologists think the Romans were responsible. However, he points out that he thinks the Romans built on top of these stones, but lacked the technology to make such blocks! He also seems to think these stones pre date the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, and were made by an unknown civilization.

Here is a bit of info on this very cool video series:

In part 1 we explored the (at least) 1200 ton “Stone of the Pregnant Woman” in the main quarry near Baalbek. In part 2 we look at another stone of similar size, close by but rarely visited.

The comments on both video threads are spirited and actually pose some interesting points.

Commenter “Ham” had this to say in regards to why this has received little coverage:

Yea usually the mainstream media can overlook facts all the time, and pretend its not there basically. There is a lot of archaeology that doesn’t make sense with civilizations that are supposed to be behind it. Even though the civilisations don’t even have the tools to do the job.

Commenter ‘P Washburn” thinks the Romans actually could have made these blocks:

Check out Google Images. Brien, so theoretically, these megalithic blocks which represent an ancient lime quarry, COULD be remnants from Romans, Greeks or other ancient culture? I guess, sifting through antiquity documents, historical records, local folklore, mythology…tie it all together. I do not believe at this point, it’s some lost civilization of giants hewning rock for a big pyramid. I guess I’d have to go further on this one. thank you for your work though……..what we’re seeing thousands of yrs of erosion between the stone blocks. your question why did it stop? welp, I wonder if this area had been dated, we’d at least get some kind of timeline. Don’t forget, toward the end of the 1,000 yr Roman history, their government was a horrible mess, NO FUND were given for patrolling military or outreaching city/states….so, it could have just fell into decay by the 200-400 AD (onset of Dark Ages)….what are your thoughts?

What do you think?  We hope you enjoy these fascinating videos.

Here is the update on some of the most recent excavations in the area:
