of Baalbek. Situated atop a high point in the fertile Bekaa valley, the ruins are one of the most extraordinary
and enigmatic holy places of ancient times. Long before the Romans conquered the site and built their enormous temple
of Jupiter, long even before the Phoenicians constructed a temple to the god Baal, there stood at Baalbek the largest stone block construction found in the entire world.
