A site that whispers the antiquity of man in our
ears, and baffles our intellect with its size. A place that has
been accurately described as ancient in our oldest stories. A
place that has been chosen, culture after culture to build great
monuments to the Gods, to pay homage to the master builders of
those days gone by. The place I am referring to is Baalbek, where
now exist some of the largest and best preserved ruins, of roman
temples. These temples were built from the ruins of previous
Greek ruins, and the Greek temples were built from older ruins.
What sets this site apart from all 
others i
s the foundation. It is called the Grand Terrace,
and in this platform exists to this day the largest hewn stones
ever found. This platform is made up of megalithic stones precisely
cut and placed to form a foundation that is five million square
feet in size. There are three colossal stones in this platform
that take our breath away and leave us bewildered for we have
no mechanism to move such a great weight, let alone precisely
place it. 
They
call these monsters the Trillithon, and they measure over sixty
feet long with widths of twelve and fourteen feet, they are estimated
to weigh between one thousand to twelve hundred tons each. They
are red granite, and were quarried three quarters of a mile away,
down a valley. The most interesting thing about this site to
me is the blind eye our scholars give to this Megalithic Prediluvial
Colossal achievement undertaken by some unknown civilisation
that predates our oldest written accounts.
Could it be that the truth is better left unsaid,
and could possibly even be detrimental to our quid pro quo. And
why don't we lend more credence to the Sumerian tales on such
subjects. As far as I can assume they were in a much better position
to remember what took place there, than we are now. (James G.
