LebanonThe Baalbek Stones are six massive Roman worked stone blocks in Baalbek characterised by a megalithic gigantism unparalleled in antiquity [1]. The smaller three are part of a podium wall in the Roman complex of the Temple of Jupiter Baal known as the "Trilithon" [1]. Each one of these stones is 19 metres long, 4.2 metres high, and 3.6 metres thick, and weighs around 750–800 tonnes [1].
