In Baalbek (located in Lebanon) we find a large platform (foundations) served from perfectly aligned stone blocks weighing more than 800 tons. The Romans, who came many years after the platform was built, built their own temple of much smaller stones on it, even though they had very good technical skills for their time.

When you compare the Roman stones with the original pieces of several hundred tons, it looks very funny. The difference in the precision of their placement is also clearly visible.

It is worth mentioning a block of more than 1000 tons, the processing of which would be very problematic even today, let alone any consideration of its transport. The stone partially protrudes from the ground and fascinates with its precise workmanship.
