However, some researchers, such as Graham Hancock, argue that its roots go back as many as 12,000 years. During the period of Roman rule, Baalbek was known as Heliopolis (“City of the Sun”), and housed one of the largest and grandest sanctuaries in the empire.Layout of the temple complex at Baalbek. (Wikipedia) One of the most awe-inspiring features of Baalbek are the incredible megalithic foundations of the Temple of Jupiter. The temple was built on platform of stones that are among the largest building blocks seen in the whole world. Twenty-seven of these enormous limestone blocks can be seen at its base with three of them, weighing about 1,000 tons each, known as the “Trilithon.”How they were cut so finely and moved into place has defied explanation, particularly considering the blocks are known to have weighed over 1000 tons. Many researchers, Graham Hancock included, reject the traditional explanation that the blocks are the work of the Romans. Indeed, a quick glance at the photograph below clearly shows a difference in style and appearance between the large megalithic stones and the surrounding blocks used to build the temple.“I do not agree with the mainstream archaeological view that any of the three megalithic blocks in the quarry, or the enigmatic megalithic foundations of the Temple of the Jupiter, are the work of the Romans,” writes Graham Hancock. “I believe these huge megaliths long predate the construction of the Temple of Jupiter and are likely to be 12,000 or more years old -- contemporaneous with the megalithic site of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey. I suggest we are looking at the handiwork of the survivors of a lost civilisation, that the Romans built their Temple of Jupiter on a pre-existing, 12,000-years-old megalithic foundation.” Photograph from the 1890s showing the huge megalithic foundations of the Temple of Jupiter (public domain) Quarry of megalithic blocksThe gigantic blocks used in the foundations of the Temple of Jupiter are known to have come from a nearby quarry located around 800 meters (2,600 ft) from the temple. The limestone quarry houses two massive building blocks that never made it to the temple – one weighing about 1,240 tons, and the other, known as the “Hajjar al-Hibla,” or The Stone of the Pregnant Woman, weighs about 1000 tons.Archaeologists believe the Hajjar al-Hibla monolith was left in the quarry, because the stone quality of a block’s edge proved to be poor and the monolith could easily be damaged during transport.The Stone of the Pregnant Woman at Baalbek (Wikipedia) According to Discovery News, the German archaeological team have now found a third building block next to the Hajjar al-Hibla stone and underneath it. Still partially buried, the monolith measures measures 19.6 meters (64 feet) in length, 6 meters (19.6 feet) in width, and at least 5.5 meters (18 feet) in height. Its weight has been estimated at 1,650 tons, making it the largest known stone block from antiquity.“The level of smoothness indicate the block was meant to be transported and used without being cut,” the German Archaeological Institute said in a statement.Further excavations will attempt to establish whether the newly-discovered block suffered from the same problem as the Hajjar al-Hibla stone, resulting in its abandonment in the quarry.By April Holloway- See more at: http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/largest-known-megalithic-block-antiquity-revealed-baalbek-002385#sthash.J0f7Qibn.dpuf |

Commentary & Analysisby L. A. MarzulliBaalbek – Nephilim Architecture?Posted by lamarzulli on December 2, 2014“I do not agree with the mainstream archaeological view that any of the three megalithic blocks in the quarry, or the enigmatic megalithic foundations of the Temple of the Jupiter, are the work of the Romans,” writes Graham Hancock. “I believe these huge megaliths long predate the construction of the Temple of Jupiter and are likely to be 12,000 or more years old — contemporaneous with the megalithic site of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey.

See how tiny the humans look? There are some, as Graham Hancock refers to in the quote above, that would have us believe this is the work of human beings. Others posit the Romans used slave labor and using diorite stones chipped away at the stone for a hundred years, creating the huge block you see before you. Still others tell us that wheels were attached to the sides of the almost 70 foot blocks, and they were rolled into position? Really?While main stream archaeologist or anyone else for that matter, has actually been able to prove their theory, I would put forth the not-so-popular-theory that the ruins at Baalbek are the remains of Nephilim architecture. In other words we are looking at a building project conducted and supervised by Fallen Angels and their progeny, the Nephilim.How does one move 1600 ton blocks? How does anyone in the ancient world go about lifting these megaliths? And the big question for me is why?We know that angels are capable of manipulating matter and energy in ways that we humans can not even fathom. Think of the one angel that passes over the children of Israel and kills the firstborn of the Egyptians. This event is still celebrated as the Passover.Think of the two angels, who are sent to Sodom and when the men of the city want to have sex with them so the angels strike the men with blindness. Then, they destroy the city the next day.What about one angel who destroys 180,000 Syrian troops? Or the angel who springs Peter out of jail. Or the angel who appears to Daniel? These entities, whether good or fallen are extremely powerful. They have abilities far beyond anything we can imagine. Sacsayjuaman, lies in Peru and we see 120 ton stones cut with polygonal shapes, and fitted into place without the use of mortar? (I covered this in On the Trail I)How was this done? The quarry lies about 50 miles away at 2000 feet lower in elevation than the site, and the Inca had only Lama’s as a beast of burden.When the Spanish conquistadors arrived and saw the ruins they asked the Inca if they made them. The Inca stated that a race of giants made the walls and that the site was here when the Inca inhabited the land!In closing todays post. Nephilim architecture is all over the planet. The Ancient Alien crowd insists that sites like Baalbek and Sacsayjuaman are the work of ancient astronauts. Main stream archaeology insists that humans did the work but offer no satisfactory explanation as to how.In closing todays post. Enter the supernatural, which of course is shunned by the Darwinist, and most of academia, and even some Christians. The late Dr. Stan Monteith declared, there is a supernatural world. Our Bibles speak of the supernatural all through its pages and in fact I refer to the Bible as The Guide book to the supernatural. The Fallen angels came to earth and had sex with the woman of earth creating the Nephilim. These beings were half-human half-fallen angel and who knows what powers they possessed. These fallen ones created these structures all over the globe and in my opinion the evidence for this is mounting.http://lamarzulli.wordpress.com/
