BALBAAK (heritage site in Lebanon)
Approximately 86 km northeast of the city Beirut in eastern Lebanon stands the temple complex of balbaak. Situated atop a high point in the fertile Bekaa valley, the ruins are one of the most extraordinary and enigmatic holy places of ancient times. Long before the Romans conquered the site and built their enormous temple of Jupiter, long even before the Phoenicians constructed a temple to the god Baal, there stood at Baalbek the largest stone block construction found in the entire world.
The origin of the name Baalbek is not precisely known and there is some difference of opinion among scholars. Ball (as the Hebrew term Adon) simply means ‘lord’ or ‘god’ the word Baalbek may mean 'God of the Bekaa valley' depending on different interpretations of the word. Ancient legends assert that Baalbek was the birthplace of Baal.Moreover also there is a baalbeck international festivals.
