Great thumbs up

if I may add_

Baalbek..(who build it?)

"The temple at Ba'albek is famous for its extraordinarily large foundation stones (over 1000 tons each), the largest cut-stones in the history of mankind. Construction dates back at least to Phoenician times. 'The first syllable 'Baal' corresponds to the Sun of the ancient Phoenicians."





Puma Pumku (who build it?)
Excavations at the Pumapunku have documented “three major building epochs, in addition to small repairs and remodeling...archaeologist found evidence in this ancient Bolivian temple complex, that could date it back to more than 17,000 years old.




I don't buy the idea of alien theory building them... but prehistoric people people also did not build it.

Count your spare coat-hangers.
Odd socks are the larval form of coat-hangers, the warmth of the washing process causes them to hatch, the tiny coat-hangers then creep out and hide away until they are grown up.

Interesting. The City of Jerusalem often claims that the largest worked stone of the ancient world is the 570-ton foundation stone of the Great Temple, currently visible from the Western Wall Tunnel.

Wikipedia does suggest that some of the Baalbek stones are twice that weight. I wonder if this is an architectural rivalry at work..

The Wikipedia page titled "List of ancient architectural records" is a fascinating read.
