Have you seen this? The Trilithon stones in Tell site, Ba’albek, Lebanon. The enigmas surrounding the Tell site and the colossal stone blocks remain a mystery. ![]() Stones quarried in Lebanon weighing some 600 tons. Each! As of now in our modern existence we cannot quarry something that large without it cracking. (By comparison, the stone blocks of the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt, weigh about 25 tons each). We do not have modern equipment that can lift something that enormous. So how did they do it?![]() You can see one here in the process of being moved. Where were those stone blocks quarried; because at a stone quarry a couple miles away is one of those 1,100-ton blocks is still there – its quarrying unfinished. This means someone had the capability and technology needed for quarrying, cutting and shaping colossal stone blocks in the quarry. Then lifting the stones up and carry them to the construction site. They weren’t just let-go and dropped either, but placed precisely in the designated blocked row. And there they have remained, intact and unshaken in spite of its' 9,000 years and frequent earthquakes, and held together without any mortar… ![]() The western wall of that structure has been reinforced with rows of stone blocks weighing 900 tons each. On top of them is made up of three unique stone blocks weighing 1,100 tons each. Known as the Trilithon, these are the largest cut and shaped construction stone blocks in the world! How did they build this? Was it alien technology used back then? I laugh at the idea that logs and sand could be used under it, to move it. If that was so, there would be squashed, petrified remnants of it under the one that was in the processed of being moved. It’s important to keep an open mind about these theories because this structure is just too amazing! wiki entry Have you seen this? This is absolutely cool, and absolutely crazy. As a cat owner this is just amazing to me. How'd you like to see these putty 'tats clawing up your furniture :)
