I was born in Baalbek, and my father would often visit these megaliths. It was one of the few things that really changed his views on life. He understood from early on that what we were told about the earth/history just didn't add up, that the truth was being intentionally hidden from mankind.

as a lebanese citizen i thank you for taking interest in my country. i really like your theories and i hope more people would open up their eyes and minds so we can find the truth. I actually live 10 mins away from byblos and i've visited byblos and baalbek numerous times, but i've never thought that it could be built by someone other than the romans because that's what everyone told me but now thanks to you, my mind is blown by the idea that it could have been someone else.

As a child my sister and I would play in these ruins. My great uncle was the caretaker in the mid 60s.

Brian Foerster, this guy is just taking it to whole new level. These photo compilations, the fact that he walks around these place and makes these videos. This is some of the best work I have ever seen about the ancient megalithic sites.

Besides the content, Brien is a very clear and also very skilled speaker. This is a big plus for non native English speakers like myself.

Always calm and rational. Love your work Brien. Thank you : )

THE Best of your Lectures I've seen, very clean and clear. Beautiful work!

Again my students were fascinated at your discourse. Your efforts influence a lot more people than you imagine. Keep on truckin bro.

The problem with present day academics is their refusal to admit they just might be wrong. And that will always prevent any opportunity for advancement. 🤔 Knowledge is power. Question everything.

Mind-blowing video. Just astounding! I visited the great pyramid at Giza last year which I thought would answer my questions, it only made more questions. I would highly recommend visiting Giza these days. We had the 'Kings Tomb' completely to ourselves. Just sublime. Lebanon is now on the radar!

i was able to afford a trip to greece for two weeks in 1974. i would so much love to go again and re-examine and see more of the ancient sites i visited then, with the extra knowledge and appreciation i have now. I've been too poor to afford a week off for ten years now.. i'm doing my travelling and exploration with your videos. Thanks Brien.

I think this is the best lecture you have given. I have read so many articles and books on Baalbek.I am drawn to this site for some reason. Outstanding work Sir, thank you!

Brien, this was an excellent presentation. Thank you very much.

Your lectures are fascinating. I love how many times I say "wow" while you explain your theories and adventures. Thanks Brien!

Love the Brien show! As soon as I get the notice of a new vid, I try to watch it. I really, really appreciate the talks.

Best lecture on Baalbek I've ever heard. Thank you, Mr Foerster.

Wonderful report, Brien!! ....Thank-you for posting this, for us to view!!

So thankful for Mr Brien Foerster! Extremely interesting content and this is just the tip of the Megalith!! ;] ;] ;]

I love how you let the facts do the most of the talking. Keep it up Brien!

Baalbek is such a mystery.. and it s really amazing how the tool marks are so blatant! Thanks Brien for all your good research and documentaries as always!

I been to Egypt never been to Lebanon tho, however I can speck to the PERFECT cuts in the structures of Egypt. They are simply amazing! No video can capture them, 4k video's are the best, but to be under one of these structures is out of this world...

Thanks as always Brien. I agree with your observations. Also the bevel blocks. They are the most over-looked hallmark of the ancient builders. I believe there are still some original structures at Baalbek. I added this lecture to my saved playlist.

Whatever happened 12,000 years ago was devastating. Many species were wiped out and the few humans left were scattered. Evidence is everywhere that hints at a time when humans possessed understandings and technologies that rival what we employ today. I appreciate researchers who spend a lot of time and effort bringing us this information, which is barely mentioned in school. Thanks.

Loving your new way of doing video's Brien! Thanks so much for the excellent info! Keep up the great work! Hey from Australia! :D

What Brien says about academics and their ways is definitely true. As an ex-academic, I corroborate his statements regarding the matter. I deliberately left academia, having witnessed first-hand and over the course of decades the huge, and often toxic, amount of ideology that permeates the entire university culture -- even the prized "hard" sciences. I hasten to add that I am shaped by, and thoroughly appreciate the findings, results, and theories of the "hard" sciences. What I criticize about them is a certain dogmatism and even, surprisingly perhaps, a certain political correctness.

Brien Foerster has found his calling in life! Thank god that he's so passionate about these ancient sites and our true ancient history. Not only does he have the means to visit all these sites, but he also devotes a tremendous amount of time spreading knowledge and footage and photos.

Keep up the work Brien. Thank you for everything.

Astonishing work again Brien👏

Thanks Brien Excellent work

For the past 50 years I've been trying to figure out how those huge blocks of stone were moved and put in place. And I'm no closer to figuring it out now than I was then.

So grateful for your work Brien! Thank you!

Great presentation again Brien.Thanks for sharing.

Kudos for starting with Mt. Hermon.

Just wow! This work you do Brian is the works I have always dreamed of. I do study the time...before the great flood. If people could imagine that there are no ways I can think of that a...normal human...could build these super massive structures. I believe much of the information was maybe destroyed in the great library of Alexandrea. I see that the arches of Baal are being put up in...places...nice work!

I learn something every video you make Brien. Thanks for all you do.

I'm eternally grateful for your profound insight in these matters. Thanks so much.

what a fantastic video. I'm so glad i found your channel . thank you

This is the first time I've seen pictures of all sides of the Stone of the Pregnant Woman. Had no idea it was still attached to the bedrock! What a peculiar angle the masons were using. One wonders if it would have been easier to work the stone in a horizontal manner? Or did the bedrock slip down? BTW the Pantheon in Rome is a well documented building from a historical perspective. Undoubtedly built by the Romans in the 1st century ce. It has giant single piece stone columns presumably turned on some kind of giant lathe. The giant bronze doors are immense and are the original from Roman times. The dome is still to this day the largest unreinforced concrete dome. So no need to imply a lost advanced civilization prior to the Romans. They clearly built this with the available technology of the period, most likely availing themselves of the best craftsmen most likely from the middle east at least for the columns and bronze doors. As for the rest, Romans excelled in brickwork and pozzolana concrete.

Simply put, great observations in differentiating the different time periods and those observations answer the questions I would have, so very effective. Can't wait to see more.

Wow! Thank you so much for putting this great presentation together. Your photos are great. Thanks once again

You are the best Brien

fascinating as always thank you

Great lecture. .... looking forward for more & into deeper details. Thanx @Brien.

Simply excellent work. You're a living legend. Too few grasp the depths, perspectives and importance. I salute you! Gods bless.

excelent job Brien

I have to disagree with the idea of Megalithic "pragmatic" building structures entirely devoid of art. The large, smooth surfaces of the monuments may have been incredible canvases for the painters of that remote era.

Amazing stuff Brian! Thank you for sharing.

Thank You for sharing your excellent work!

Many thanks Brian for this video, just I would like to point out that at the quarry there are a kind of small caves that I couldn't understand the purpose of them; but I think that must be studied. The rest is amazing, I've been there around half a dozen of times and always I find something new.. Somehow like when you go to Giza, same feelings. I also recognized the Egyptian granite from the columns. April is an excellent time for visiting Baalbek, weather is good during day time..

great presentation

Brien has a true talent for showing other people their world, past and present.

This is one of the most interesting subjects in the World.

This lines right up in the timeline to be the Younger Dryas event, which we've just found the crater of, in Greenland. If all this building stopped at that same time 12000 years ago...it makes perfect sense that it was the Younger Dryas impact. All your research is finally coming together. I know that you focus on the middle east. I am in Mexico, and have been studying a mystery at Teotihuacan near Mexico City. Beneath the Pyramid city of Teotihuacan lies a series of tunnels roughly 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft. It is a separate system from the known stonework sewer and water systems and is built with considerably more precision than the other stonework "drainage systems". The curious thing about this 3rd set of tunnels is that they are precisely lined with thick slabs of Mica which came from a quarry in So.America some 3000 miles away. WHY??? Why do you build a series of intricate tunnels ....line them with what would have been a VERY expensive and exotic material that was, until then, only ever seen used as decoration.....and why would you then bury all that and build a city of at least 12 pyramids on top of it all. It's another of those ancient mysteries that completely defies all logic. I have a wild theory, but I need to revisit the site and do more research, before I would ever dare consider my own theory. I'm very curious if you have a take on this site and this particular mystery???

Enock's secret book explain how ancestors have built this huge monument

Thank you, I have learned so much about the construction of these sites from your work.

We need more honest people like Mr. Foerster doing this needed work.

I'm amazed at how much knowledge has been opened up unto us that we never noticed yet was right in front of us all these years, centuries, millennia. Those giant gates, openings. The enormous heavy columns and blocks. Knowing what I do now, I see that all these great wonders of the world were constructed by gigantic beings. There were no giant lathes for cutting monolithic stones. I just can't see that being possible for 6 feet tall men. Thanks Mr Foerster. I love your videos. It makes me wish I had persued archaeology like I wanted, as a youth.

I absolutely LOVE your presentations Brian! YOU are THE man. would love to meet you, but I am up in Ohio.

Love Mr. Foerster's work!

Great Video....Amazing location!

I don’t think Romans had anything to do with the huge columns or even most of the “smaller” work in Baalbek. The smaller work is still 50 Ton blocks. Like thousands of 50 ton blocks! Romans built nothing like this in Rome. Their largest crane could only lift 6 tons. Coliseum is built from much smaller stones. I think romans came in and did some surface art and that’s about it

The Sumerians described an area that corresponds to the modern day Bekaa Valley (where Baalbek is located) as the place where the Gods could come down to earth. It was some sort of space port. The huge blocks that make up the foundation of the Roman site would be strong enough to support a rocket.

This planet has some go the most fantastic mysteries ever. Thanks for this and the thoughts it stirs up!

Thank You Brien for your hard work.

My theory as to why such large stones were placed on smaller blocks is that the flying craft that landed on the platform used some type of magnetic levitation or anti-gravity drive. Say the vehicle weighed 20 or 50 tons. If they landed on smaller blocks, the magnetic field could have dislodged them making the platform unusable until it was repaired. However, using bigger blocks would mean that the magnetic field wouldn't have enough strength to dislodge them. The Causeway at Giza is also made of large blocks, maybe for a similar reason. The point is, they had a reason for using huge blocks beyond the idea that they used them because they could.

Good lecture. The Egyptians were here before the Romans. Who preceeded the Egyptians though? Baalbek was actually very northern Egypt during the powerful 18th dynasty.

I LOVE these lectures

Love your videos You do a great job !

Great video! I cannot comprehend HOW was the final cut is made; how to MOVE it; and unimaginable how to LIFT & STACK 'em!.... Still a mystery?

We need more dudes like this.

You're lookin' good Brien. Great to see you. Grand vids. Good work!

Thank you very much Brian for sharing so much great information. God bless you all always.

At 36:10 you see the grooves made along this curved granite object. The geologist in me notices that the pink feldspar lumps are the crystals of this mineral and are very large, perhaps many centimeters in size. Granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling of magma in the channels below the surface of a volcano after it has finished erupting. Most granite mineral crystals of feldspar are small, less that 5mm in size. The smaller the size, the faster (being closer to the surface) is the cooling. The large crystals take much longer to develop and must have formed very deep down in channels that were much closer to the sides of the deep magma chamber. This could be many kilometers below the earths surface. How was this rock quarried on the surface? To blast granite from such depths would require an explosion many times greater than any ancient volcano ever discovered in the Nile Valley. It must have come from somewhere else...from a huge volcano that erupted twice, millions of years apart with the second explosion to huge it would have blaster square kilometers of rock from very deep down. Its more likely from another region which had a shore on the Mediterranean.

Sumerian tablets clearly explain baalbek as a space port. I love your persistence and presentations in bringing us the truth Brien. Thank You.

Extraordinary, ancient work is magnificent!!

Awesome work. Thank you.

"There is no evidence of a previous advanced civilization." False! There is literally TONS of evidence carved in stone all over the world!!! I wish more people would wake up! Thank you for fighting the powers of ignorance that be Brien!

I noticed these strange hollow squares on several stones, a couple in this presentation and also on the large stones in Jerusalem on the so called western wall foundation. (although i doubt if that is the original temple wall, because it is deprived of fresh water which is required to wash your hands and feet before entering the temple.) I wonder at what mass the builders started using these squares and what their purpose is. it seems logical they are used for lifting but they are not perfecttly alligned. i see one row of several holes and sometimes underneath that line sections of two holes which appear to be on the left and right side of these giant blocks. they seem to form a square with the line above although they are not alligned perfectly. Is there any consistency regarding these holes? did you measure and compare them to other stones alike and what is the minimum weight of blocks for having these holes?

Thanks for sharing sir, very much informative and intriguing.

Thanks Brian , very educational

Or the crack in the stone of the pregnant woman was caused by this theorised cataclysm.

Maybe the Romans just chiseled their art into the pre-exising megalithic stonework?

This is simply mind blowing !

well done thank you for all your work

All he gigantic work could have been done by the “Nephelin”? Before the diluvio?

Maybe the smaller stones on the bottom were put in place to make a level surface , easier to move around and manipulate to get the site level witch is not easy in the first place. It's Amazing and impressive that people could do this construction.

Very interesting lecture. You know your field well and present this topic well. Thank you.

Look at how that rock was situated"the stone of the pregnant woman" there had to be tons of earth removed to shape it alone!!! Not to mention the extreme erosion. It's super ancient!!! Great vid Brian!😀👏

Someone should detach and try to move the pregnant woman stone... just to see the amount of work necessary. I work with cranes, building bridges and such and we use giant cranes for a fraction of this weight...

The modern the civilization the smaller the stones. Humans are not stupid, they won't choose the impossible if they can choose the easy way. Why would they go to such great efforts, time and resources to drag and pile huge, impossible to carry and lift, stones if they could easily do it with small stones, as they did? For whoever did these megalithic constructions this was just as easy for them, as it was for the romans to build temples with small stones, marble, etc, as it is for us today what we do with cement, bricks, and machinery. Either they had machines we do not understand, or they were giants and these stones were to them as bricks are to us and what we think to be doors, were simply small holes for water. These served a very pragmatic - as Brian says - purpose, and wouldn't take hundreds of years and more than one generation to finish. It had to be done in a relatively fast amount of time to serve the population. So carrying mega stones must have been relatively simple to them.

The true art here is making speculation sound like fact.

Great Video,i'm Lebanese and Proud of our historical places we have, Anjar, Tripolis, baalbek Tyre, Sidon same as Byblos city. you Mentioned in your video that Byblos is located in Jordan !!

Can you even move a 1000 ton block now? Is there some sort of massive airlift coordination technique now that is required for such a lift? I don't know much about todays transports but I know there are some heavy machinery and such out there.

Ich staune immer unglaublich aber War 👍

I enjoyed your presentation. Thanks.

Loved this lecture Brien. If you can do more of these from different places that'd be awesome.

Actually, it talks about Mt Hermon in the "Book of Enoch", which is not included in most Bibles.

Maybe the large, smooth stone blocks were a form of beauty (art) to these ancient people.

Brian, thank you for your labors

great video evidence and delivery
