RE: Travel with me to Baalbek Lebanon: Temples of Jupiter Bacchus & Venus
What a fascinating article. I had never heard of Baalbek before reading this extensive history. The size of this temples makes me think of the Egyptian pyramids. Incredible to think of a construction project taking 250 years. Nice job @molometer.
This is the most amazing place and very rarely seen by anyone outside of Lebanon. There are no foreign tourists as such in this region. It's a bit tricky getting in and out of the Beqaa valley what with local wars etc but we had a fantastic trip.
Some of the largest stones were literally dragged from Egypt? Mindblown.
