Baalbek was a major ancient city located in what is now Lebanon. At the heart of the Roman city were three temples raised in honor of Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus. Beneath the temple of Jupiter sits a mysterious feature - three enormous stones that formed the base of the temple. The origin and purpose of these exceptionally large stones is unknown. Nearby quarries contain even larger unfinished monoliths, adding to the mystery of the site.

2. What is Baalbek? Baalbek had been a major city long.
At the heart of the Roman city were
a triad of temples raised in honor of
Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus. While
they were magnificent in the way all
Classical temples were, at the base
of the temple of Jupiter is a
mysterious feature:three giantic
stones.

3. Mystery In the ancient world, the site was
called the Trilithion “Three stones”.
But no one knows why such huge
stones were used as a foundation.
In a nearby quarry lie more squared-
off monoliths, larger than the
others, that were never completed
or used.
