Graham Hancock – FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS

Churning the Milky Ocean, one of the several ‘thought tools’ for
precession encountered in ancient myths.
The same may be true of Java’s famous temple of Borobudur, with its
72 bell-shaped stupas, and perhaps also of the megaliths of Baalbeck in
the Lebanon—which are thought to be the world’s biggest blocks of cut
stone. Long predating Roman and Greek structures on the site, the three
that make up the so-called ‘Trilithion’ are as tall as five-storey buildings
and weigh over 600 tons each. A fourth megalith is almost 80 feet in
length and weighs 1100 tons. Amazingly these giant blocks were cut,
perfectly-shaped and somehow transported to Baalbeck from a quarry
several miles away. In addition they were skillfully incorporated, at a
considerable height above ground-level into the retaining walls of a
magnificient temple. This temple was surrounded by 54 columns of
immense size and height.
