Ba'albek is one of the most mysterious archaeological sites in the world, because of its many puzzles that have not successfully answered here. One of them is how the builders move and arrange the stones block weighing 1200 tons.
Ba'albek, or "city of Baal" (the name of the Phoenician god) is a city located 86 km from Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. In this city there is an important historical heritage but also mysterious, related to the size and weight of intact rock used as building material of ancient Roman temples there.
Building stones are so large compared with the size of modern humans. Formed with the smooth and neat as the parts of the building of the magnificent and artistic. But the most surprising thing is the object as heavy as it turned out to have been able to also set up and arranged in such a way, whereas in the present era is still too heavy to be lifted by several large cranes at the same time.

To the south of Ba'albek, there is the former location of the excavation which seems to be a place for cutting large stones of the temple building.
In this place also, found a huge stone block (pictured below) and has been there since the slaughtering, more than 2,000 years ago. Stone block is called the "Stone of the Pregnant Woman" and declared the world's largest processed stone. Measuring 21.5 mx 4.2 m with an estimated weight of 1,500 tons.
Based on history, at first, Ba'albek inhabited by the Phoenicians until then occupied by the Greeks in 323-64 BC which then change the name of the city into "Heliopolis" (sun city). In 64 BC, the city became the Roman colony (Colonia Julia Augusta Felix Heliopolitana) in the reign of Julius Caesar. In the period of Roman occupation is made of stone temples built giant. Dedicated to the ancient Roman god, Jupiter.
