Stone of the Pregnant Woman (Baalbek, Lebanon):

history channel documentary 2016 Stone of the Pregnant Woman (Baalbek, Lebanon): There are numerous, numerous monstrous stone hinders that have been quarried out and put to use in different megalithic structures from Machu Picchu in Peru, to those Easter Island Moai statues, to the Olmec stone heads in Mesoamerica, to Stonehenge itself, to the pyramids (Egyptian and Mesoamerican), to pillars, even the Parthenon sections, and the rundown could be augmented a hundredfold. One hundred, two hundred, even more than three hundred ton pieces of stone have been used. With regards to raised pillars, 400 tons or more are not unbelievable. At that point too there's Pharaoh Hatshepsut's 'unfinished monolith' that, had it not broke in-situ, would have needed to have been raised by her subjects to the tune of hurling and pulling more than 1200 tons. Discuss backbreaking! At that point there's the Roman Temple of Jupiter complex at Baalbek (old Heliopolis), which incorporates close-by under quarry the Stone of the South, also called the Stone of the Pregnant Woman that tips the scales at somewhat more than 1000 tons. However, hold up, there's more - another close-by anonymous rock chunk times in at more than 1240 tons. Here's a definitive "why" question. What's the point? There was no "Guinness Book of Records" back then! Perhaps this was the antiquated's method for 'staying aware of the Joneses'. Anything you can assemble I can construct greater!
