ular city is something that has puz-
zled the modern engineers since the
day when Baalbec was flrst made the
Mecca Of the oriental traveller.
There are immense stones on every
side of the visitor to this ancient pile
of ruins, but the three most remarka-
BILE blocks-said to be the largest ever
used in the construction Of a building
are in a wall back of the temple Of
Baal.
These immense stones are respec-
lively sixty-four, sixty-three and sixty
two feet in length and each is thirteen
feet in thickness, but the most wonder
full thing in connection with them Is
the fact they are at place in the wall
twenty-five feet from the ground.
How these immense blocks Of granite
were ever raised to such height Is a
question that has never yet been an
swered.
