Awesome video, thanks very much. My parents took me there when I was 7 and I still have snap shot memories of it. The origins are intriguing and why so big?? Certainly awe-inspiring and must have been so grand in its day.
This is the best video I have seen on This Magnificent site thank you so much for your time and expertise sharing this to a person so far away in Idaho
THANK YOU for making and posting this. a couple of things though: hexagons you see in here, there are two of them in Jerusalem (Dome of the Rock being one), one in Shechem/Nablus, another in Verona in Italy.... and the most common design in Byzantine times for shrines to martyrs and saints.... Nothing Semitic about this. Much much older than that, going back to Gobekli --12,000 years ago. ALSO, you forget to mention that this entire complex was used as stone quarry for 1400 years---people carrying off stones, pulling down buildings for their stones, and more stones. The entire temple of Jupiter--short of 6 columns still standing there, was pulled down, the giant stones broken to pieces and carried off. The entire monumental stair cases were disassembled and carried off.... In one sitting, Justinian carried off dozens of columns from the temple of Jupiter to his capital of Byzantium/Constantinople to be worked into the Hagia Sophia Basilica. They are still there and in perfect condition! The reason Temple of Bacchus is preserved is because it was turned into a Christian church. Temple of Jupiter was too large to be that lucky. So it was pulled down, the stones were sawed off (you showed one of those columns half sawed through) and sold! Otherwise, they could now be reassembled. Only those stones the got buried under dirt and rubble (due to earth quakes) are still there to be reassemble.
I am glad you liked the video. I would like to say that my whole intension of the video, which was also stated in the video many times, is to show that the platform and foundation is over 12,000 years and was built before the catastrophe, if you also check out my other videos, my main objective is to shed light that the ancient gods off the ancient world were indeed human and this lost civilization is responsible for the building of the megalithic structures around the world. Secondly after the catastrophe that wiped out this civilization, they restarted civilization in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Fast forward many years and there we get the rise of the Afroasiatic languages including Ancient Canaanite. Intern the Phoenicians were part of this group of people that occupied this region and later the Hebrews (or many will argue that the Phoenicians and Hebrews were one and the same). So what I am talking about and demonstrating in this video is that the platform and foundation is from this earlier civilization before 11,500 and the structures we visibly see were built by -1. The Phoenicians, 2. The Greeks, 3. The Romans. I mention this many times in the video. The Semitic aspect is from the Semitic speaking people that first started the building, again way after the rise of civilization and well after the catastrophe. 11,500. Therefore that is why we see this type and style in Jerusalem and other places in the region. The Phoenicians (like the Israelites, Moabites, Edomites, Hyksos, Ammonites and Suteans) were an offshoot of the Canaanites, a group of ancient Semitic-speaking peoples speaking one of the Canaanite languages, a branch of the Northwest Semitic languages, that emerged at least in the third millennium BC.
4:16 to be able to get that level of cylyndrical shape from GRANITE, along with the polish AND that lip at the bottom is just amazing. I've always thought the builders had some kind of vertical lathe of some sort....but can you imagine how what kind of materials and setup would have to be done to bolt that lathe to the ground? I mean, simple lathes that spin 2x4's or chair legs are bolted down with steel plates and bolts. Imagine something that's spinning 100+ ton blocks of granite? lol. Boggles the mind.
Thanks for showing such a cool walk through ! I just recently had my mind blown by learning of the Temple of Jupiter... I have to say, it's basically the clincher for me as the grand proof of previous advanced technology. Kudos to you and purple hair :)
I personally don't believe that there were such grand civilizations, but I know about the idea that there were. I think at the very least, our society should take steps towards building such megalithic structures. We have the technology. Elon Musk has proven that you can do some pretty remarkable things if you put your mind to it. I think we can create things that satisfy that urge. Hell, we should build structures like that on Mars.
Just a great video. Thanks so much for sharing this. So interesting that they had to stop the excavations because it would have destroyed the newer Roman structures. That's a very interesting piece of information. The whole place is entirely baffling.
hi, thanks for docmuentary, what do you think about the hypothesis that these rocks are artificial stone re-agglomerate with Polymer worked like some kind of concrete?
Great question! Although my research usually doesn't involve what the Romans built, its hard to ignore what they contributed in Lebanon. My research is what was going on in pre history before the Romans got there. However, I do believe that they did indeed use this type of concrete in other places and temples. Also it is hard to ignore the way they sort of used a lathe type of device that kept these Baalbek columns upright and spun the columns around in an upright position as apposed to laying them down the way a lathe normally operates. This is one of the explanations of how they shaped the columns so perfectly round. So, they could of used the stone from one gigantic piece as opposed to this concrete. But that is a question for the stone experts. My ideas and research clearly present the facts that something was going on 11,000 years ago and that technology was either hidden or destroyed by the great catastrophe/Flood. The foundation is what I believe was in place before the Romans and Phoenicians got there and these gigantic foundation stone blocks are NOT concrete because they were taken from the quarry near the temple. The upper structures are Roman and they did craft large stone structures either from the concrete or natural stone BUT they did not craft the gigantic blocks that lie as the foundation. Thanks for the response and very happy you enjoyed this video!!
Dear Admin, I read that this was built by Indian sculptors and labour. Proof of which is the lotus present in the ruins now. I read there's no lotus flower in Lebanon how come they sculpted it.
Phoenicians! They were the occupants long before the Greeks and Romans. Therefore, if we are to believe (in which I do) that the early Phoenicians were originally Egyptian. Egypt is the answer to almost everything in the ancient world.
Yes Karin - I originally thought that it was some painting and carving of an animal (the same animal on each side) flanking whatever was in the middle. but yeah we see this type of defacing all over the ancient world from cultures that come in and destroy what was there before them. It's a shame because human destruction is why don't really understand our history! Thanks for watching!!!
Yes, guards all over the place with rifles. Also, you have to pay to get in, sort of like an amusement park, where you walk up to the gate, pay then get into the complex. So very protected
This is Master stone masonry work! This kind of masonry was done by people who absolutely adore their craftsmanship this was not done by slaves this is done by a bunch of Michelangelo's
I believe the stone at the Temple of Jupiter is granite or is that a hardness of granite! Granite is at a scale of 7.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. According to archaeologist primitive man had copper chisel and stone Hammer! Copper is that a 3.5 Mohs hardness there's absolutely no way copper could scratch anything pertaining to Granite that's like trying to cut down a tree with a plastic butter-knife
Is it safe for an American to travel to this area for a visit? I'd love to see all the ancient ruins in this part of the Middle East but I have security concerns.
Hey Blenki, No, I think you might be referring to her temple in Ibiza, an island in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain and the cave temple is at Cova Des Cuieram. She was worshipped in Carthage in Tunisia but was worshipped by the Phoenicians. Or you might of heard about another place which was her shrine was at Sarepta in southern Phoenicia (modern-day Lebanon) and there was found an inscription that identified her for the first time in her homeland and related her to the Phoenician goddess Astarte or Ishtar. Sarepta is in Lebanon between Tyre and Sidon on the coast. Next trip to Lebanon will be there!
This is NO surprise that the Romans/Greeks were masters of grand engineering feats. They had the know how and technology to do projects like these. This is what an advanced civilization is all about. Also check Roman aqueducts which were pitched at such a low level that no one would have known that water flowed naturally to cities like Constantinople. Greek Fire allowed Byzantium to survive for over 1100 years.
Absolutely the Greeks and Romans knew what they were doing but remember this video and ideas are not about what they did on the upper surface but what was already in place as foundation.
We're not being told the entire truth about the megalithic structures at the Temple of Jupiter! One giant megalithic Stone weighs almost two million pounds. There's no way primitive man in Antiquity could have carved it then lifted it 30 feet in the air and then placed it with such precision. We would have a hard time doing it in modernity! I believe this was done with Los high technology
its built in east-west direction, similarily to most of the ancient landmarks, present on earth and mars. It looks from above as a astronauts figure, just look at it from above in google earth.
HTN get it straight more like a temple of Hellenistic ZEUS of western decapolis. The Seleucid and Ptolemaic fusing the neo Assyrian local THERE IS NOTHING ROMA here.
Don't be fooled by the history book propaganda. Do the research yourself of the history of this place and who was there before Greeks and Romans and you will see it was Phonecians, but you won't see the previous or read about who laid the foundation before the Phoenicians.
I think that all of you are really deluding yourselves believing the Bible story of a flood that clearly had a symbolic representation within the story itself, ... the Bible preserves two separate accounts that don't even aligned with one another, and then we still have to answer the question about how did the marsupials get to Australia from Mount Ararat
Yes two separate accounts because there where two “floods” respectively. One local and one global. When we talk about the global flood that one occurred around 11,500 BC and the second “localized flood” around 2,700 BC. The global flood was catastrophic to the earth and changed the course of history and wiped out the ancient civilization in which I, we believe was responsible for the megalithic greatness and the localized Mesopotamia flood is the true flood if the Bible in which God told Utnapishtim (Noah) to build the Arc.
All of the architecture is Greek and/or Roman. The writing on the stone is Greek. Therefore, the Greeks or Romans built the structures under the structures. The Earth does not lie.
Yes Niko, Romans built the structures on top but this video is about the under lying platform clearly already existing before Greeks and Romans. It was sacred and older temples existed by the Phoenicians. What is more important is the fact that the Phoenicians built on an even more ancient platform clearly visible. It is more of an ancient Phoenician site and that this foundation dates to an a much older culture that predates the Phoenician culture in which I believe was Canaanite. I will show the difference of Canaanites and Phoenicians, in another video.
We do know who was there by the layers of construction. Look up the facts! We know it was Phoenician /Canaanite, then Possibly work of Herod The Great, then Greek, then Roman. The layers are there. The question is, who was there before Phoenician/ Canaanite layer.

Amazing video. Lots of photos that I have never seen before. Awesome stuff.
I am glad you liked it!
Meraviglia, fantastico, Roma eterna, Roma caput mundi
Had the luck to go there a couple of years ago. The scale is astonishing.
always nice to see Yousef in a video
Just a great video. Thanks so much for sharing this. So interesting that they had to stop the excavations because it would have destroyed the newer Roman structures. That's a very interesting piece of information. The whole place is entirely baffling.
Thank you Steve! Gald you enjoyed it!!
25:05 just WOW!!!!!!!!!
So awesome!!
Congratulations - Great video. You can get a good feel for the scale, which is only indicated in photos and other videos I have seen.
Thank you for the info!

did you see these signs in 28:40 on the right side in the walls? They look like old paintings.
Yes Karin - I originally thought that it was some painting and carving of an animal (the same animal on each side) flanking whatever was in the middle. but yeah we see this type of defacing all over the ancient world from cultures that come in and destroy what was there before them. It's a shame because human destruction is why don't really understand our history! Thanks for watching!!!
Human destruction and a major cataclysm or two (or more) in ancient history.
is this site protected/guarded? this place is amazing! the rose granite from Aswan Egypt in gorgeous!
Yes, guards all over the place with rifles. Also, you have to pay to get in, sort of like an amusement park, where you walk up to the gate, pay then get into the complex. So very protected
In a way these monuments testify to the "immortality" of these "Gods" they had all the time and slaves you'd even need for such an undertaking.
This is Master stone masonry work! This kind of masonry was done by people who absolutely adore their craftsmanship this was not done by slaves this is done by a bunch of Michelangelo's

It’s a risk but they do protect foreigners as much as they can. Just stay with your group if you go with one of the tours
was this the area where they discovered the underground tempal of Tanit
Hey Blenki, No, I think you might be referring to her temple in Ibiza, an island in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain and the cave temple is at Cova Des Cuieram. She was worshipped in Carthage in Tunisia but was worshipped by the Phoenicians. Or you might of heard about another place which was her shrine was at Sarepta in southern Phoenicia (modern-day Lebanon) and there was found an inscription that identified her for the first time in her homeland and related her to the Phoenician goddess Astarte or Ishtar.

9:50 strikingly similar to the one found with the King's Chamber in the Cheops pyramid..
I came to the comment section to see if anyone else noticed that. Yep. I noticed the same thing. Looks identical.
We're not being told the entire truth about the megalithic structures at the Temple of Jupiter! One giant megalithic Stone weighs almost two million pounds.

What landmarks present on Mars?
The sad part is that the culture s that came afterwards destroyed the magnificent stone work and statues.
Bingo! This is why we can't see the whole truth!!
NOT BACCUS!!! But APOLLOS temple. The Helios deity give it up it’s Greek
temple of zeus
24:50
That is Bacchus
Shmupiter
HTN get it straight more like a temple of Hellenistic ZEUS of western decapolis. The Seleucid and Ptolemaic fusing the neo Assyrian local
THERE IS NOTHING ROMA here.
Total missinformation.Really??Semetic design?The name of the city malaka is HELIOPOLIS.Malaka.
Don't be fooled by the history book propaganda. Do the research yourself of the history of this place and who was there before Greeks and Romans and you will see it was Phonecians, but you won't see the previous or read about who laid the foundation before the Phoenicians.

Lo ip lo labyrinth maze
Just so you know that I know
Haha
"I believe..." is not science.
Believing is the science of creating sub-mental thot structures.
All of the architecture is Greek and/or Roman. The writing on the stone is Greek. Therefore, the Greeks or Romans built the structures under the structures. The Earth does not lie.

That megalithic work is not Roman.
Is amazing how Ya'll guess everything you really don't know who live there are how they were built
We do know who was there by the layers of construction. Look up the facts! We know it was Phoenician /Canaanite, then Possibly work of Herod The Great, then Greek, then Roman. The layers are there. The question is, who was there before Phoenician/ Canaanite layer.
