thank you for answering in advance my thoughts, I see perfect fitting between block, what have you seen in the interior blocks of pyramids, do they fit as this or there are gaps as from random block, I do not mean cover stones which I see perfect fitting cheers
Does this include the Roman columns as well? I ask because I understand that they were the Kings of Concrete tech. The Baalbek site’s history reminds me of the vestigial ruin inheritance by the Egyptian Dynastic civilization and probably the same as what the Greeks experienced and incorporated into their mythos. As the Egyptian scholars told the Ancient Greeks, theirs is but a very young civilization built on the foundations of something much older and more sophisticated.
How about *melted* and poured? These are worn enough that it's hard to tell, but some of those walls in Peru look every bit like they were poured in place. Though they're clearly not concrete.
there was an advanced global civilization before our modern time. perhaps many times over and over. something wiped us out and destroyed most of the evidence. I can't think of a better theory and I dont know why more people don't study this! it's absolutely mind-blowing! Never stop Brien, one day ill buy a ticket to see these with my own eyes
We are not the first advanced civilization on this planet, the native American hopie tribe & the hindu yuga cycle both tell how we are the 4th cycle on its decline
My guess is that this building, like so many megalithic works was unfinished; it's hard to imagine that stonework on this scale could ever have been dismantled or destroyed without the evidence being all around. Furthermore, they were still quarrying these enormous blocks.
I would have liked to see more close up of those fine reliefs. I have a very hard time believing the Romans did such precision craftsmanship in this stone.
Romans had a very good stone work all over EU. I think they left some testimony about this place. They had the time and money to do something like this work (small stones).
WHY is it that no one talks about the MANY stories of the tombs in catacombs beneath Ba'albek? I learned about them almost 60 years ago and yet no one EVER speaks of them? Why?
The small stones under the big stones are for shock absorption during earthquakes , advanced engineering for the time ... this place is much more older than they , like a previous advanced civilization that they denie
So.... I have 2 give you the credit of being the one and only RU-vid channel that not only has the most detailed content on this entire platform... But the vast majority of all the great ancient structures on earth... So what im trying 2 say is you hold the first place trophy for ancient video.. no one comes close 2 you.... no I dont just say this stuff... I've looked at this platform for years trying 2 find you.... Thank you for all your hard work.. in the future theirs a good chance schools will look at your channel for teaching students...
It must have been easy fro them to work with blocks of that size, otherwise they would much smaller size bricks like we do. Also look at the size of the doorways. It's like they where designed where designed for much larger people.
The size of these stones are amazing. We are not even able to duplicate this today without developing specialized equipment to handle the task yet many thousands of years ago they could. I can't help but wonder what that time in history and the structures they built must have looked like.
Even for the best mobile crane lifter would be a serious challenge to lift those blocks, the only mobile vehicle that can lift more than 500 tons is the Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1, its a huge vehicle with more than 18 wheels and it can lift 1200 and i am pretty sure it wont operate with those 1200 maximum weight in any terrain, it will certainly need very flat solid terrain to be cappable of doing it so... Needless to say, the Romans didnt lift those stones, neither who ever was there after... This stones are way older than we can date them, they were cut using high precision tools and who ever put them there was likely more advanced than we are today.
We can do this today if we have fire, rock, rope, timber and a shit ton of labour. If we had either the time or inclination to 👍 A decent knowledge of rope rigging is pretty essential though
The lathing tool must have been a very strong material to hold that weight and shape the pillars. I belive that we have an ancient forgotten history of knowledge and inventions, and that it pops up in our known history from time to time.
It's amazing that modern academia wants the world to believe that Roman's built these structures when it is clearly obvious that is not the case. All they did is find and repurpose the places, stacking up old blocks to make walls again in a very haphazard way. A good portion of the smaller blocks show the Cyclopean hallmark of the raised rectangle on the front face. This same design is seen all over the world at ancient sites, alongside Polygonal rock work with the stone-softening techniques, like at Macchu Picchu. How someone could look at those truly amazing pink granite columns and believe that Roman's had the powered technology of giant stone lathing is mind boggling. The evidence of their construction stands out like a sore thumb and clearly is a slap in academia's face to their continued denial of letting the world know that our antediluvian cultures (more so the worldwide one that is evident everywhere, not just isolated pockets of people) were just as technologically advanced as we are now, though way more so in many ways due to their abilities of stone working, softening and concrete creation; flying vehicles that could travel into space with easy, as well as rain down atomic destruction when displeased (India's history is very open about that subject); the craftsmanship of making microscopic electronics; and the list goes on and on. Other than Brien, the two "Mystery History" YT channels have also covered the ancient knowledge, designs, technology and architecture of that modern academia strives to hide from the populace. Thanks for sharing another great video, Brien.
They did build these structures. A little research would reveal many simple engineering techniques for moving and placing the blocks, e.g., building wheels on the ends and middle then rolling them from the quarry to the site -- you can see come along holes drilled in the sides of the blocks. Something like this has been done in recent history: In the 18th Century Catherine the Great had her subjects move a 1500 ton stone on rails over frozen ground to St. Petersburg where it was used to make a monument.
@@markcorreale8495 Sorry, but moving small blocks is one thing, shifting megaton ones around is altogether a different thing. You can try all the wheels and man-power you have at the time, along with "come along holes", and you are not going to be moving those huge blocks. If you did, it would be at very tiny intervals and only in a straight line. Believe all you want that the bases of these structures were somehow constructed and moved by our more recent ancestors, but their advanced techniques of the time were not so well crafted as to carve and shift megalithic stones on a scale that size. Even a group of giants would be hard pressed to move those, though they are more likely the builders than modern man. The "Thunderstone" started off at 1500 tonnes, but got smaller and lighter during the flat overland trip since the sculptors were shaping it in-route. Now, try doing the same, but keeping the dimensions and weight equal to the foundation site, as well as moving it around to the proper alignment on unlevel ground. You can have thousands of people doing it, but getting one of them in place would be near impossible, let alone multiple stacked ones. Wooden tracks, ropes, frameworks and slings can only do so much. Yes, there have been some people that shifted small obelisk stones into a standing position using conceivable Old World methods, but they still had modern techniques to assist in certain ways and the stones were not that big.
12,000 years ago the people must have been more advanced in some respects to what we are today . A lost technology . Or were they a completely different race of beings ?
Does anyone have any theories on what these gigantic "lathes" looked like? Or theoretical drawings or plans. It's hard to wrap my head around a tool that could shape granite pillars by spinning them.
Vertical lathe is an interesting idea. I was picturing horizontal. Although the Greeks, Romans and many other ancient cultures achieved similar precision to the ancient Egyptions without giant lathes. Although I guess they did have steel tools.
I think that the GIANTS built these structures, imo. Also, at 10:52 minutes in, looks like someone was doing a lot of digging, hence the sand on top of the wall, and piled up at the bottom.
At 10:07, is the angle of that massive corner block at all related to the angles of any of the pyramids at Giza or elsewhere? Maybe a dumb question but it popped into my head as soon as I saw Yousef.
has there been underground observations? does the foundation go deeper? in Israel they dug under Solomon's temple (i think it was that place), and they found giant megalithic blocks exactly like these Baalbek ones.. great video, thank you so much
Dear Brien, thank you a lot! Now I try to imagine to myself this Baalbek place WITHOUT smaller blocks and stones - only thrilitons. Interesting, what it was? What it could be firstly?
Great video and thanks for sharing. I wonder how deep the chuck holes would have been originally? I maybe underestimating the strength of the granite; but I would have thought they'd have to be considerably deep as the weight of the columns would have made them snap in the middle if they were only supported at a thin depth at either end. Regardless, could the depth of the holes be used to identify the strength/properties of what ever was holding them in the lathe and the lathe itself?
Given the weight and length, yes vertical makes sense. Those holes looked more like positioning holes (dowel pins). It would not have been easy achieving that level of polish at a slow speed. Those tradesmen were absolutely the best this planet has seen!!!!!
So this temple is close to where the Stone of the Pregnant Woman is. How does the size of the Stone of the Pregnant Woman compare with the size of the Trilithon blocks at the Temple of Jupiter? Same?
No way: there must have been cultures long before us. For them it was not a big deal to build and handel stones with wight around 600 to 1.000 tones. But what did they left behind too? I think they did but it was not found jet.
Fantastic! but 'where are the tools' that worked these stones???? Surely there must be something found somewhere - or aren't we allowed to see such things. I wouldn't be suprised that in the dusty basement of an Egyptian museum there's a laser cutter or two!! (only partially joking!).
Remember 1000 years have been added to the timeline(Vatican). Dates were written with a capital letter J or I (number 1 replaced the capital letter adding 1000 years )then year. 1776 is really J or I 776 and this year is, not 2022 but 1022. Ancient Rome was not too long ago.
I've known for many decade's Machines were here a long time ago and before the flood the day's of Adam and Eve Dinosaurs -Proto Animals the Wheel flying objects more than we have now
@@johno9507 i highly doubt that`s what they were originally for, it`s not just this one or two there are examples all over Egypt, Christopher Dunn goes into great detail about why these single piece granite pillars were turned on lathe`s, not only because of the precision of the circumference along the entire length of the pillar, which is to within 50 microns accurate which is the thickness of a human hair approximately, but also tooling marks that can be seen, totally disproves the `these were made with diorite pounding balls and sand as an abrasive by a primitive culture`, the holes aren`t just holes like a tube hole where a wooden or stone peg was placed for alignment, these are cone shaped holes which if you go look at a lathe`s Live Centre is also cone shaped, i dare say they may have used this hole as an alignment tool when placing these pillars on their bases but i can`t see that being their original purpose.
I would suggest the lathe was a vertical not a horizontal setup. Stone is very strong in compression but very weak in tension A horizontal setup would have the entire piece unsupported and it would snap in the middle under the stress of gravity. Engineering 101. Lathe probably rope belt driven as is a Roman granary mill is powered by donkeys turning a capstan.
Were not the Roman columns and construction not also homage to the ruins of a past civilization built by (in their view) the same Roman Gods incorporated into Rome’s religion and mythos?
I'm amazed they don't remove weeds in the cracks; I can imagine a few decades of growth of a single weed could do untold damage to those hairline joints.
They were able to turn it into a fort because people did not travel very quickly back then, which gave them plenty of time to build, but it must have been an enormous task at that!
RE turned on lathes. All? those columns appear to have center hole.at each end? A tool could easily be made to rotate on the center hole and cut the vertical standing column. Has anyone looked into that sort of tool used by any ancient civilization?
At 2.45 in imagine how much power was needed to spin these huge pieces of marble on lathes as they shaped them and then moved them. Absolutely mind boggling!
We have a 180 ft beam, 44O ft long sevtion of what was probably a six hundred ft wooden shpiwreck on Bailey's beach in New Zealand. It carbon dates 5000BC. But could be much older due to recent c14 adsorption. Supertanker size. Probably 100 thousand ton displacement. I have moved and launched ships up to 250 ton personally with ropes. People don't understand that stone and wood are the strongest and most durable technologies there are. The descent to ages of copper, down to iron, and plastic, and finally virtual fleeting microelectronic Fake reality means nothing we are doing now will be decipherable or even possible to recognise as civilization within a thousand years.
@@bob_frazier There's pictures, and an interview with Dargaville Maritime Museum founder and Historian the late Noel Hilliam on skeletons in the cupboard, 1& 2, cousin's across the Sea, by Plumtree productions. Can't remember which one the Ship piece is part of. But they are all must watch, well made and littered with the covered up real ancient history of NZ. Noel got the carbon dating done on that ship, Which is still there under the sand. It was exposed by a storm, and then buried again. If you turn up with grong penetrating radar, are going to publish the 3D mapping of it, and are prepared to be driven to the spot of the beach blindfolded ( it's 100 km long), there's people that will take you. But no-one wants it dug up and destroyed. Well some might still. But the Waitangi blood money has been paid, so it's becoming a lot easier to talk about the Ancestors, rather than keep pretending there was no-one here before the Maori invaded in 1350AD. It's still a little hot. If the Scott's all knew the English had teamed up with the Mongolian invasion to sack and claim their Ancestral homeland, would they stay in GB, with their North Sea oil and gas? Noel also had the Gene tests done on the 4000 BC skeletons in stone coffins in the stone city. That proved they were the same Genetically as the people in Wales at that time. Evidence backing up the Welsh legend of the ancestral homeland, an Island directly under the earth. Noel was a good friend of my late grandfather Dudley Lloyd, who grew up at Baileys beach, was Editor of the Dargaville Times, and President of the Returned Serviceman's Association for 25 years. He did Newspaper pieces on this and many other such things around there. But the paper got taken over and now the web is being sterilised. There will be microfiche records.
@@aaronfranklin324 Thanks Aaron! I'll be checking that out. Read a book once that talked about the possibility that there were huge ocean going ships out of China, could be one if them. Nice of you to respond. Cheers.
@@bob_frazier out of China/Into China who can really say? The Mummies from China around that time are those blue eyed blonde ones wrapped in Tartan cloth, Trussed in a fetal position like in Peru. The timber in that ship was possibly Chinese Teak. On the other hand it's very difficult to tell the difference between Teak and New Zealand Puririri, and with all the oral histories here from the early Tribes and in Australia and Vanuatu of how their ancestors walked between these locations, I find it very interesting, that Colonel James Churchwards Mu the Ancient Motherland of Humanity, shows a very accurate outline of Zealandia just slightly north and rotated, to fit his theory that it was submerged with mountains where Fiji Tonga etc are now. He spent 25years getting histories from Asia Polynesia, Australia, South American, including ancient maps. It may be that the "Tail of the Dragon" on these ancient maps is the land ridge of the Lord Howe rise that is a broad extension of the South Island, to West Cape North Island 400m average depth now. But with half that in Glacial times, and a icecap extending to Antarctica to our south. It would almost certainly have been Seesawed out of the water, and Extend to Asia. When the Waitaha left Wharrkaurinui (the great Green turtle, Nth America), and Waitangi Ki Roto ( singing of the waters within, South America) to RETURN to , Waitangi Ki Raro ( Singing of the Waters far away to the south, New Zealand) it was by very well mapped sea routes from ancient times when they left some twenty five thousand years ago. When the Oruanui Taupo Eruption triggered by deglaciation, obliterated most of the country, and it probably sank then. They do speak of the Ancient ones they learnt their knowledge from. I strongly Recommend Whispers of Waitaha, nice big Hardcover, NZ$50, $US25. You don't often find a contiguous oral history covering over 20000 years in 25 different countries. Not that it's All In That book. 🙄How could it be! 🤭 But it's friggen mind blowing what is.
So glad u got urself commentary without wind on mic...this is bucket list for me that i know i will never tick off so thank you for taking me Brian....keep up the good work
on dirait un travail de géants..de par la taille des blocs de pierres...it's look like a geant works , because of the size of the stone blocs..(i'm a stone worker,mason.).. thank's..merci..
Thank you so much Brien! It's a treat for those of us who cannot travel out there. There must be a way to carefully move a stone (or found one already moved) and take samples of trapped organic materials left there at the time of construction - insects, pollen, leaves, etc. In the worst case, a contamination of recent organics would be easily discarded, while the eldest material would tell when they were laid on top of eachother. It would need special permission but it could be done scientifically and it would be soooooo worth it! My bet is that it predates the great flood, and was built by Sumerians. Thanks again. Your channel is like an exotic vacation, and you're an outstanding tourist guide, shedding light on our lost past history.
The ancient advanced lost civilization must be really ancient, talking thousands or maybe even millions years old, because there is not one single trace of the machines they use to have, everything desintegrated thru time.
I look at the megalithic stone work and can't help but think who ever built this had to have been building structures of this kind for a long time. I think in order to know how to build like this you would have to have acquired your knowledge through many previous constructions to learn how to do the megalithic stone work like this. I think who ever did the megalithic stone work had to been working with stones like this for generations previous to this site and in other locations or even Mabe other worlds.
King Herod had the temple mount. A port. Masada. Few palaces. The herodium. Several aqueducts. All outstanding technical achievements themselves completed before this. Pretty much the greatest builder of all time.
Roman concrete is an Egyptian technology. Roman concrete is an Egyptian technology. Roman concrete is an Egyptian technology. Roman concrete is an Egyptian technology.
I can even fathom how they did this.. the only thing I can possibly come up with is, with no distractions of modern world issues like taxes, bills, computers, phones, drama ect... this would enable people's minds to work together in greatness to come up with strategies. Synced minds of thousands of intellectual people that aren't distracted have endless amounts of time to wonder and create these unmatched marvels that will never be replicated in our life time. We have become lost as a society and far too separated. We need to link together with no distractions in order to once again unlock the magic that give us the power to create these wonderful monuments.
It’s really quite obvious in my opinion, mega sized structures = mega sized Architects! Giants (compared to modern humans) built these. Plus ancient blends of different types of concrete that we haven’t been able to replicate. You can literally see holes in a lot of them, I believe from some part of the forms or molds used. ✌️
The Pillar lying on it`s side, at it`s base is a `HOLE` right in the centre, i believe this could prove that these large pillars, as you surmised were in fact turned on a LATHE, in order to steady a large piece for turning it would have to be held in a 3 or 4 jaw chuck `possibly a 4 jaw as the rough pillar would have originally been square` one end and at the other you would drill a small centring hole and insert a `LIVE CENTRE` that rotates as the piece is turned i have some understanding of how to turn cylindrical objects on a lathe, as well as the LIVE CENTRE one end, they must have also employed a FIXED STEADY REST somewhere down it`s length to support the centre of the pillar to support the weight and to stop the piece bowing in the centre, the decorative details on the top that radius MUST have been cut with a `Button Insert` one of the channels i follow is an engineering channel called `Cutting Edge Engineering Australia` the guy on there Kurtis is always on lathe`s and mills and he shows how to take square stock and do what`s called `interrupted cuts` on a piece of square stock to eventually turn it into a perfect round piece or even tapered, i`m not sure whether these centring holes in these pillars have been seen and commented on before by you or Christopher Dunn, but i highly recommend you look into them and possibly even contact Chris and get his take on them, with this level of precision shown on these artefacts they MUST have been done on machines, there`s no way one could get this level of precision by hand, no matter how long you worked the material for, cheers mate, ive included a link to the CCE AUS channel where Kurtis makes some long bolts and then uses his end mill to form the 6 flat hex surfaces just to give you an idea. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J4Yy6oD1nis.html&ab_channel=CuttingEdgeEngineeringAustralia
@ 2:17 min the pink granite cylinder is a cross groove for the drive end of a lathe the close up views the pink columns has to be spun there's no flat spots anywhere Thanks for the video Brien
ALL the ancient Temples & structures were built by the Atlanteans and just re-purposed by later civilisations. The incredible Indian buildings cut from the hillside & Ethiopian churches etc are good examples of this, Angkor Watt and the rest...They couldn't have been constructed by a bunch of semi-civilised peasants or worse, Stone-Age cultures that were struggling to put food on the table! Of course, certain Atlantean knowledge survived (Sumeria, Hittites, Egypt etc) but with Egypt particularly, was left with many buildings and artefacts from Atlantis (The Grand Master Tutankhaten's meteoric dagger 100% Atlantean-so what else???!) It's like the Twin Towers of 9/11, steel doesn't melt from jet fuel-it takes over 2000 degrees of sustained heat to melt it!
