RE: Travel with me to Baalbek Lebanon: Temples of Jupiter Bacchus & Venus
WOW the scale of this place is amazing, and the manpower that must have went into moving the columns and such over vast distances is amazing back in those times, in the video where it says a column may have only been moved centimeters in a day gives a real sense of the time it took and the huge number of slaves that must have been working on this and god knows how many gave their lives
Te shot of the people on one of the buildings really emphasizes the size
Cannot believed i worked iN Lebanon for over 3 years and never got to see this
It is astonishing to think they dragged hundreds of these massive stones, hundreds of miles at just centimeters a day. It is mind boggling to be sure. The scale of the temple complex is super impressive and what is more it's the same size underground to! It is just colossal. I'll post the underground system soon.
WOW that is amazing looking forward to seeing the underground for sure
I'll get on it today. I think it's mostly photos? But super impressive. Think Gladiator the arena scenes.
Sounds so cool
Will watch out for it
