ARNIK: Great thread idea!!! I, too, run new finds "thru my Sitchin" filter (plus another one). And I hope that this thread can remain pure news and factual descriptions of the finds. If one wants to offer differing opinions, discuss, debate, argue, flame a find, they should start another thread and do so. (This will require the Moderator to be in full Atilla-the-Hun mode.)

Baalbek:
This site has some very good pictures:
Baalbek1
This site makes a comparison with the "old" structure and the "improvements" made by the Romans:
Baalbek2
This site gives a little geographic positioning plust some additional links:
Baalbek3
That should get you started. A Google search will call up beaucoup sites. BTW, the above three are sites I never saw before when I did my research two-three years ago.
Sitchin:
He connects the builders of Baalbek with the great platform that covers the Temple Mount (THE COSMIC CODE, p. 227)
He writes the this was the "landing place" that had been the first destination of Gilgamesh--a landing place for the "aerial ships" of the Anunnaki. (THE LOST REALMS, p. 202) In much greater detail in STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, pp. 181-3; 188; 231-34; 294; 306;
He goes into more depth, especially with Gilgamesh in DIVINE ENCOUNTERS, pp. 155-9. It was the northernmost point for guiding entry vehicles to the space port in the Sinai.
He writes that it was the only suitable landing place for shuttlecraft after the Deluge (THE WWARS OF GODS AND MEN, p. 122) and incorporated into the new landing grid (p. 134; 181). Its seizure precipitated the first pyramid war (p. 158). The site was deeded to Enlil (p. 178).
He makes a case for a similar Baalbek in Peru (Tiahuanacu) near Lake Titicaca. (THE LOST REALMS, pp. 206-208)
My Notes:
Baalbek's first city was built before the Great Flood by Cain, the son of Adam, whom God banished to the `land of Nod' that lay `east of Eden' for murdering his good brother Abel, and he called it after his son Enoch.(4) The citadel, they say, fell into ruins at the time of the deluge and was much later re-built by a race of giants under the command of Nimrod, the `mighty hunter' and `king of Shinar' of the Book of Genesis.
[T]here is not a crane today that can even think of lifting a 1000-tonne weight, never mind a 1200-tonne weight like the stone block left in the quarry. Confounding the mystery even further is how the builders of the Trilithon managed to position these stones side by side with such precision that, according to some commentators not even a needle can be inserted between them.
In the hills around the temple complex are literally hundreds of rock-cut tombs which, although plundered long ago, are thought to date to the time of the Phoenicians,(8) the great sea-faring nation of Semitic origin who inhabited Lebanon from around 2500 BC onwards and were known in the Bible as the Canaanites, the people of Canaan.
The course beneath the Trilithon is almost as bewildering. It consists of six mammoth stones thirty to thirty three feet in length, fourteen feet in height and ten feet in depth,(22) each an estimated 450 tonnes in weight. This lower course continues on both the northern and southern faces of the podium wall, with nine similarly sized blocks incorporated into either side. Below these are at least three further courses of somewhat smaller blocks of mostly irregular widths which were apparently exposed when the Arabs attempted to incorporate the outer podium wall into their fortifications.(23) Indeed, above and around the Trilithon is the remains of an Arab wall that contrasts markedly from the much greater sized cyclopean stones.
The rest of my notes contain references to gods, historical figures, and the like.

Heavy lift

Consider again the movement of the many obelisks located around the world that were initially created, moved and raised by the Egyptians, then removed and reset up - in ancient times.
