I've read that someone calculated that 512 men could move a 1000 ton Baalbek stone using the same primitive tools used 2000 years ago. So why hasn't anyone tried? Somehow Roman slaves moved a similar stone and lifted it into place in a Roman temple. It can't be that hard to fund a project like that, especially to solve a 2000 year old mystery. I don't think there's any way 512 men move that stone.

One of the biggest feats of Roman ingenuity lies in Lebanon’s historic Bekaa Valley, home to the ancient city of Heliopolis, now Baalbek.
