1 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,440 So this really does look like it's one of the largest stones here at Balbec. 2 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,280 Probably one of the size of one of the 400 ton stones. 3 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:51,520 We're just heading down towards the west side of the 10th port. 4 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,320 This on the southern edge of the west part of the 10th with a big columns here. 5 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,280 I'm not sure the name of this part but this is caught my attention. 6 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:06,280 But only that over here we have a whole row of stones which are at least 12 feet tall 7 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,760 and about 25 or 30 feet long. 8 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,040 Suggesting these at all several hundred tons. 9 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,400 So this one is immense on its own. 10 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,240 It would obviously go down behind the steps. 11 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,240 And over here we have similar size ones much more weather. 12 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,640 This must have been protected by rubble. 13 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,080 Absolutely amazing. 14 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,240 Balbec is becoming my favorite megalithic site already. 15 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,840 So we have a whole wall here. 16 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,360 We've got all the way along and like a part of the foundation's part of the platform 17 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,400 of extremely large blocks. 18 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,400 These weren't carved from the bedrock. 19 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,360 These were bought from the quarry and they were placed here. 20 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,000 These are in excess. 21 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,840 These have to be more than 400 tons. 22 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,640 It's hard to estimate at the moment. 23 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,320 We're going to go up top and see how deep they are. 24 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,960 We take some measurements if we can. 25 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,320 There's so big it's almost impossible. 26 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,320 But as I walk down here you'll just see the magnitude of these. 27 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,840 I mean look, it's at least 12 foot tall maybe 15 feet. 28 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,720 Look how wide it is. 29 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,000 It's like 12 paces. 30 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:29,240 I mean you can see the size of the stones there with a group walking across the top. 31 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,920 These must be like, you know, 400 tons each. 32 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,640 They're incredible. 33 00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:43,560 They go all the way down there right to the wall at the end. 34 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,640 So we're just on the mega platform here. 35 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:50,000 You can see it's Brian Hayser's point of that. 36 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,200 There's circular saw marks here like they've been swinging saws around. 37 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,800 In some one way or another some kind of technology. 38 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,280 Everdon't here of how they were cutting the stone. 39 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:09,200 You're just just pointed out this very fine groove, join of the two stones. 40 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Really beautifully done. 41 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:41,320 Then you have the kind of circular saw cuts up top. 42 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,840 Then you're right next to some of the perfectly cut blocks. 43 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,840 They're really perfectly cut. 44 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,040 The joinery is insane. 45 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,280 Almost like precision. 46 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Bit like Peru, bit like Egypt, but working with mega supersized blocks. 47 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:03,360 So all along here these are the top of the stones that I just walked along. 48 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,560 Just to get a sense of these to say a little walk. 49 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,560 Sorry about the shaky camera. 50 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,760 This is literally on top of one of the blocks. 51 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,760 Look at this. 52 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,480 You barely fit it in the camera lens. 53 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,120 It's so big. 54 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,120 This doesn't stop. 55 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:26,120 This just goes on and on and on. 56 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,480 So we're just in the courtyard of the temple of Baccus, which you can see there. 57 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,280 This is where all the mega stones are. 58 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:34,280 Just on the opposite side. 59 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,520 I just walked along here. 60 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,520 There's more here behind it. 61 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,600 There's more mega blocks. 62 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,160 So we're not talking one layer of mega blocks. 63 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,160 We're talking entire platform. 64 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,160 You can see slightly smaller ones above it. 65 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,640 Quite large ones up there. 66 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,280 They're actually quite impressive. 67 00:04:54,280 --> 00:05:00,280 But nothing like the ones down here and over in the wall opposite the Baccus temple. 68 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:07,160 So we are literally standing on one of the 800 ton blocks in the western wall here at 69 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,160 Balberg. 70 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,920 So we're actually standing on the scaffolding on the western wall and you can just see 71 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:23,360 just about from this angle just below me are the 800 ton stones and below them are the 72 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,920 400 ton stones. 73 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,880 So it's amazing to actually be up here, literally on the wall itself. 74 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,720 I'm probably not supposed to be here, but it's just worth getting some shots here. 75 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,200 So you can get kind of grasp the magnitude of some of these stones. 76 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,760 Just over this side here. 77 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,480 You can see the western edge. 78 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,360 This again just below me is one of the 800 ton stones and below me further with the ledge 79 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,640 at the 400 ton stones. 80 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,240 So these are extremely ancient, some of the largest moved stones on the planet. 81 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,960 Also you can see the back of some of these blocks here. 82 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,120 They're very reminiscent of what we see in the valley temple and the Sphinx temple. 83 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,120 Some of the limestone. 84 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,560 They're kind of rough here but they have this sort of almost polygonal, irregular kind 85 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,440 of shapes carved all over them. 86 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560 Okay, so I just realized what might be going on here. 87 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,560 We see the back of this temple here. 88 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,200 Just down here where this whole row of mega blocks are that we saw previous things 89 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,920 here the one at the end there. 90 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,040 They kind of come down here and then they continue across here at the same level as the 91 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,200 800 ton and 400 ton blocks. 92 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,800 There's what a colon has been placed there. 93 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,480 So it seems like a smaller platform that goes to the end there all the way down here. 94 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,680 And then continue along there then takes a left. 95 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,920 So like all over this area here from here all the way over there and to the western 96 00:06:51,920 --> 00:07:00,400 wall behind me was the original mega-lithic platform and it got extended by later cultures. 97 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,120 So this is what seems to be taking place here. 98 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,920 We could have been a strange shape. 99 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,600 We could have actually be platforms as you under the ground here in the back of this temple 100 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,600 kind of courtyard. 101 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,640 It's very, very, very, very strange and very interesting. 102 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,000 But just to be able to walk here, this is what we have on the floor here is actually one 103 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,400 of the 800 ton blocks. 104 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,040 We have columns embedded in the wall above it. 105 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,040 So these are probably later. 106 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,680 We have another column here which is part of the wall. 107 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,600 But here is the block that got raised about 30 feet in the drag from the quarry nearly 108 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:47,000 a kilometer away and it's just depressing generations marvelling out its magnitude since 109 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,680 many, many thousands of years ago potentially. 110 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760 So we're up right on top of the western wall here. 111 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,680 We're way below me here at the 800 ton blocks and they 400 ton blocks and we have the view. 112 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,560 The beautiful mountains here and over there as well. 113 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,320 Absolutely amazing. 114 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,120 What an interesting valley in the Becker Valley here in ancient Lebanon. 115 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,360 So we're talking about mega-lithic here at Bowbeck. 116 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,760 It's not just the big square or rectangular blocks with these huge columns. 117 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:27,040 Could have been part of the earlier temple but more likely they were re-cut from the massive 118 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,760 stones that were already here. 119 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,880 These are more huge blocks here at Bowbeck. 120 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,440 Absolutely massive ones. 121 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,560 Quite difficult to see down there but these are in excess of 400 to 600 tons. 122 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:56,000 We're hopefully going to get a chance to walk down there and take a look. 123 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,760 And these are just part of the northern part of the site, northern wall. 124 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:06,360 Whereas the western wall is behind me and you've got the southern part over there but we saw 125 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,360 the other big blocks. 126 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,200 So this is a whole root of mega blocks and these are absolutely massive. 127 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:18,040 I'll see photos of these before but we're looking at the right from above here so we've 128 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,160 not got the best view but these are absolutely massive. 129 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,200 So down here are some of the biggest mega-lithic there are. 130 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,600 Over this side we're west of all there and all down here. 131 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,440 Some of the largest platform stones here at Bowbeck. 132 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,720 Should be able to see them we're going to have a look around the outer edge. 133 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:52,200 So this is a blocked doorway with almost identical kind of design in the lintill 134 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,480 as those we find in Tijuanaku and Puma Panku in Bolivia. 135 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,440 So that's interesting to spot that here. 136 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:06,080 Whether it was a doorway to nowhere that's some kind of ceremonial portal or something else 137 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,800 we don't know but it's here. 138 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,680 So it seems like it's been deliberately blocked up by perfectly cut piece of stone. 139 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:20,880 So the other doorway with the sort of Bolivia looking lintill was around there and this one 140 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,880 is interesting as well. 141 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,920 Another blocked doorway is very big. 142 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,120 Brian go to the standing front of it. 143 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,120 I just want to get a sense of size. 144 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,120 Brian haze here. 145 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,120 So it gives you a sense of the size. 146 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,720 So it's impressive in it's own right. 147 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:42,440 I mean anywhere else that would be classed as a incredibly megalithic wall and doorway 148 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,640 and lintill to buy on with all this and this. 149 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:53,840 But the big stuff's over the other side behind over there where it gets really megalithic. 150 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,200 This one actually has some kind of protrusion on it with a square hole in it. 151 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,520 So the protrusions obviously we see these in a Peru and Egypt and other places. 152 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,600 Brian haze has just spotted this here. 153 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,800 In this corner you can see where it kind of curves and then joins. 154 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,960 So this is virtually identical although it limestone rather than granite. 155 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,200 As the valley temple you can see that there. 156 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,280 We zoom in a bit. 157 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,640 Let's get a bit of resolution. 158 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,360 You can see that the way that joins it kind of curves around. 159 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,600 The rock is curved around. 160 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,880 It's quite an impressive way of doing it and then we have these kind of things on the side. 161 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,880 Even though this is probably Phoenicia or maybe earlier. 162 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760 This is very interesting. 163 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:51,240 So this is kind of facing west and here with a mega dark blocks that we're looking at from 164 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,240 a barvellia. 165 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,720 You can just see them here. 166 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,120 See how big they are. 167 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,120 They are remarkable. 168 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,760 Wow. 169 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,360 These are absolutely massive. 170 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,840 So let's just take a walk along this wall here. 171 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,360 And I'm going to just turn the camera around to me. 172 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:26,720 So you can just get a sense of the size of these as we walk along. 173 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,560 Compared to me and I'm going to walk in just a couple of feet away from the wall. 174 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:05,160 It does actually look like this could have been part of the construction part of the 175 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,160 entrance to this particular part of the temple. 176 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,840 It may have been a temple to Bial. 177 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:17,520 It may have been an earlier temple to other gods, to the Titans, even to Kronos or 178 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,960 Kain who said to be one of the builders and they were all linked and connected with 179 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,840 the Nephilim of Biblical tradition. 180 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:37,040 They really does seem like if anyone's going to build this it was giants. 181 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,080 Let's just take a look further down here. 182 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,880 Because these are big. 183 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:46,080 These are just a different league to most of the site. 184 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Very, very impressive. 185 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:50,840 So you can just get a sense of scale here. 186 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:58,840 These are least 12 feet tall, 25 feet long, but 12, 15 feet wide. 187 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,480 Probably weigh 400 tons each. 188 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,600 Within the interior of the northern wall. 189 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,600 It connects with the western wall right down at the other end. 190 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,520 So this is obviously one of the super ancient foundations, although there are slightly 191 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,320 smaller stones, propping the big stones up. 192 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,400 So this is where this stone begins. 193 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,880 See how far it goes this way. 194 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,200 It's just ridiculous. 195 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:32,120 Again, like we find even in the huge stone underground in Jerusalem, we find these holes in them. 196 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,800 It seems to be a design spec. 197 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,080 If or wherever it did this. 198 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,880 Also it's a darker type of limestone, whether that's some kind of weathering this done this. 199 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360 I don't know because some bits are broken off. 200 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,600 And you can actually see that that may not be the case. 201 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,800 It could actually just be like that. 202 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:48,840 It could be a different quality. 203 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:55,320 It's slightly different quarry, but these could easily have been quarried from the famous 204 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:00,840 Bellbeck quarry where the stone of the pregnant woman is because the same kind of size. 205 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,120 God, that's incredible. 206 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,560 So right, see on top of this wall now. 207 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,440 You can see that's one side of it. 208 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,720 See the sheer magnitude of these. 209 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:18,520 Oh my goodness. 210 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,320 They've got one that's protruding outwards. 211 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,640 This one's being shaped. 212 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,680 But to be able to walk on this is really quite a treat. 213 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,960 We were looking down upon this from above, remember. 214 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,840 It's like walking on a... 215 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,360 Oh my God, it's so strange. 216 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,240 This is incredible. 217 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:56,200 It's got the squares in it, holes in it, carved out the solid blocks. 218 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,760 Well basically, almost going to walk up to the western wall if we keep going. 219 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,760 You can see the weathering on this is amazing. 220 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,840 An extremely ancient. 221 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,120 So I'm just going to walk the full length of this. 222 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,560 I'm sorry about the shaky camera. 223 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,760 It goes most out battery unfortunately, but 224 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,160 this is still pretty cool. 225 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,680 Wow, this is such a treat to be at a walk on this. 226 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,160 You can see the extreme weather limestone with moss, 227 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,320 like an all over it. 228 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,120 And this is just... 229 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,840 There's just a niche there. 230 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,200 We're kind of up to the end here. 231 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,200 Almost at the corner of the western wall. 232 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,760 So we see little pieces cut out here. 233 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,960 The sun will come around in a minute and light it up. 234 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,400 And this, these are probably the famous sort of shaped blocks. 235 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,480 Make up the first part of the northern western corner of the western wall. 236 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,120 And then we have it going all the way to the end. 237 00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:08,120 You can see Chester walking along there. 238 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,320 So this just shows you the magnificent and size of what we're dealing with here. 239 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,920 Even over here, you've got blocks that look like they're puffy, almost polygonal. 240 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,080 We've put trusions on, not to similar to what we find on some of the pyramids. 241 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,120 And at this finks valley, temple and geese are. 242 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,040 So we have to question, is there a connection here with the people who built that? 243 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,320 We know the rears whether they were the same builders is a whole other question. 244 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:38,440 More holes here, all along here right at the end of the ruins of the main wall, 245 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,960 valley. And there's no explanation as to who did them, why they were done, 246 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,280 why they needed to use such large blocks, but they did. And here's the evidence. 247 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:10,280 We really does feel like we're in the temple of the giants here at Bellbeck today. 248 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,920 You can see these stones behind me that doorway is like 10 or 12 feet tall. 249 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,000 And then we go further down here and it just gets ridiculous. These stones are just outrageous. 250 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,080 You can see that all the way along this wall, it must be like 100 meters long. 251 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,360 We've got the one at the end here which joins with the western wall. 252 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,560 We're going to go around there, look at the outside of this wall first and then go to the western wall. 253 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,360 We should have some really good light on it now. So this is the northern wall. 254 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:42,440 It's not known as anything here really. It's just part of the retaining wall they call it. 255 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,120 Next to the western wall, just to wait for the sun to shine. Let's get some good light. 256 00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:51,000 This is the way in. There's been blocked up now, but you can't climb through. 257 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,800 And that's where it's really impressive. That's where we've just been inside and seen it all from 258 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:03,080 but it continues up here. So let's go and take a look at what we're really here for the 800 tonnes 259 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,040 Trilithon. Three stones, 800 tonnes each still in the wall. 260 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:34,680 So this is the famous western wall. You can see the huge three Trilithons. 261 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,720 And not this level, these are the 400 tonnes stones. So once above, 262 00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:43,560 three of those 800 plus tonnes each. 263 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:50,200 Can't they came from the same quarry of nearby as a stone to the pregnant woman. So it's pretty impressive. 264 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,600 Even the stone is just going around this side. The 400 tonnes are going along here. 265 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,000 Still very impressive. Just to give you a sense of scale and standing right next to it. 266 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:09,000 This is just utterly remarkable. And just a deep antiquity without doubt. So just below that bush there, 267 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,960 that's where the seam is. And then that continues all the way around here. 268 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:23,480 And goes around the side. Here, quite a long way. So that alone is incredibly impressive. 269 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:31,640 So we're just looking, I'm trying to find the seam and you can just see there. 270 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,440 Go ahead and barely see it. 271 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:46,600 It's so, it's so tight. It's almost invisible. That there is the seam that's joined in this rock. 272 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:53,160 And it's so precisely could fit a card between the rocks there. That's remarkable. 273 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,600 Such large size blocks, especially being limestone, which is quite rough. You know itself. 274 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,640 Naturally, this is a good quality obviously type of limestone they've used. 275 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,840 Let's remember the ones above there. Because these are very high up. 276 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,400 At least 30 feet up from the ground level. And these 800 tonnes of magic. 277 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,560 How many people, how much effort that would take to bring them from the quarry. There's been 278 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:24,920 estimates down of some of like 500 people removing it around. But even if you did that, that's over 279 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:31,160 a ton each. If that 800 tonnes you. 800 people would be one ton each. So get real just to 280 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,920 how would you do that. And there's no evidence the Romans did that. That's why it's often said that 281 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,560 giants did it. It's also some traditions that say demons did it. Much like we get places like 282 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:47,640 avery and it made a little bit of an England which you can't be explained at all. Just to give 283 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,800 a bit of reference here, I've said this a few times really. It's 800 tonnes blocks on top there. 284 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,640 The middle of the wall and then below that at least 400 tonnes blocks. So there's something like 285 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:06,520 several thousand tonnes just sitting here right in front of us. I've just a certain number of 286 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,680 blocks and you see the weather in on the two levels. Do suggest a very deep antique 287 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,440 routine has been references as to why that is. And when the blocks above aren't, these are said to 288 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:23,800 be like Islamic stonework up here. The very top, what I've Roman I would imagine. But we know that 289 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:31,640 Islamic people were very smart with stone as well. So we have these 800 tonnes blocks here 290 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,000 and look at that gap there with smaller stones have been put in. Pierre was telling us, I 291 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,440 have expert here. They fact a stone was once in there that would be the end of the stone. Like 292 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:49,240 the square end of it. I've got a long ways heading east into the temple along the along the top of 293 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:55,720 the wall around the corner. But that would also fit very neatly if we'd look. We just walk around 294 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:02,520 here. Sorry about the shaky camera. That would fit all the way along there above this wall. 295 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:09,720 So all along the wall here that we just explored at a dark stone. On top of that could be 296 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:17,000 where the quarry stones were going to go. And this was added later instead to fill in the space. 297 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:23,000 But it looks like they would have easily affitted all the way along there quite effortlessly all the 298 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,960 way to the end even. With all the ones that are in the quarry there, three stones that never 299 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:33,880 got finished. So there is a compelling argument that that may indeed be the case. Now we're going 300 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,840 to be coming back here though. So if you want to join us to explore some of the largest stones on the 301 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:46,920 planet as well as one of the most ancient the occupied centres at Bibloss. Many other sites, museums 302 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:53,320 get a taste of the culture. This is the tour to come on here with Megalithamania. We'll 303 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,760 put it out everything you need to see. High technology, incredible, mega-lithic stone work, 304 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,200 and much, much more.
