Located at an altitude of approximately 1,170 meters in the Beqaa valley, Baalbek is known to have been settled from at least 7,000 BC, however, some researchers, such as Graham Hancock, argue that its roots go back as many as 12,000 years. One of the most incredible features is the megalithic foundations of the Temple of Jupiter. It was built on platform of stones, and according to the German Archaeological Institute, the stone above the largest known stone block ever carved by human hands.

in eastern Lebanon stands the temple complex of Baalbek. Situated atop a high point in the fertile Bekaa valley, the ruins are one of the most extraordinary and enigmatic holy places of ancient times. Long before the Romans conquered the site and built their enormous temple of Jupiter, long even before the Phoenicians constructed a temple to the god Baal, there stood at Baalbek the largest stone block construction found in the entire world.

The foundation of this terrace at Baalbek (Lebanon) is approximately 5 million square feet in size. Three colossal stones, known as "the Trilithon", are the larger of the many visible megaliths in the terrace walls. They measure over 60 feet long, with widths of 12 and 14 feet (notice the two men in the center). Many Roman Ruins still stand on the platform, but the site is far older than the Roman Empire. Even the Sumerians referred to Baalbek as ancient. Ancient Art, Roche, Rom, Fotos
