Baalbek
Roman temple complex of Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus, standing on a podium with three ~800-tonne trilithon blocks.
The alternative view
Alternative authors argue the trilithon and the 1,000+ tonne quarry monoliths ("Stone of the Pregnant Woman") pre-date Rome and exceed ancient lifting capability.
The mainstream view
The German Archaeological Institute’s work at the quarry and podium dates the megaliths to the Roman building programme (1st century BCE–1st century CE); the largest blocks were never moved.
We present both views respectfully and link to the original work so you can judge for yourself.
