Baalbek: Home To The Alien Launchpad That Gilgamesh Saw Used

Baalbek is the name of an ancient site in Lebanon known for its Roman ruins, including the remains of temples that Roman emperors erected, but the the place is also home for far earlier and more significant archaeological remains.

I do not want to speak poorly of the Roam ruins that are there, as they do include the largest known Roman temple to Jupiter.  Nonetheless, the Romans chose to build there because the place was revered earlier by the Greeks, and by other cultures before them. Alexander the Great built there, but the Phoenicians and Babylonians did too, or at least came to worship there. And at the dawn of recorded history, circa 2900 B.C., Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk in ancient Sumer (southern Iraq), went to the location in his quest to obtain immortality from the gods.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a story etched into clay tablets that includes Gilgamesh witnessing a rocket-ship launching from the landing place. Gilgamesh was supposedly the son of the Anunnaki goddess Ninsun and a high priest of Uruk, and was considered two-thirds god. His mother explained to him that in order to attain immortality he would have to go to the Anunnaki home planet, Nibiru.   Gilgamesh journeyed from Sumer  to the landing place at modern-day Baalbek.

There are large stones within the ancient landing place under the remains of the Jupiter temple that mostly weigh an estimated 600 tons each. The blocks are held together without any mortar. At such a weight, no single piece of existing modern construction equipment could lift these stones. As a comparison, the stone blocks of the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt, each weigh about 25 tons. Some of the stones at the landing place weight as much as 1,100 tons, which still remain the largest construction blocks ever made. It is believed they were cut from a quarry about two miles from the location of the ruins.

Due to the significant size and unclear origins of the landing place ruins, coupled with the apparent existence of some significant structure there at the time of Gilgamesh, it remains unclear who initially build at the locations and what technology was used to accomplish the feat.

It is  possible that Romans used, say, several hundred of their Roman Cranes and an army of men in unison in order to move these blocks, inch by inch. Some believe that the initial stone platform was a landing place for the Anunnaki, who moved those stones with their god-like technology. This theory presumes that the Anunnaki were not true gods, but instead aliens with advanced technology and a need for durable port. 

It has also been hypothesized that the landing place was built prior to the historic flood that exists in the Bible and which is referred to in the Epic of Gilgamesgh. In recent times, the ruins have been hit by some earthquakes and those large stones are not affected. If it were prior to the flood, it would potentially be the only structure that survived it.
