George Packard and the Megaliths

George Packard read on some blog (actually it was on the bumbastories.wordpress blog) about the megalith they had towed all the way from Riverside County to the LA County Museum of Art. George had passed by to look at the rock himself. George had not been impressed, but knew that the rock would be a big hit. But following some links from the blog and googling the matter for himself, he discovered information about other great megaliths. The largest hewn stone in the world was at the base of an enormous temple complex in Lebanon.

The temple was called Ba’albek, the Temple of the Sun and was located in the Beqqa Valley in North east Lebanon. It’s age and method of construction remained undetermined apparently, but it had at its base, and largely underground by this time, a number of these large stones. Interestingly, if you could draw a straight line from the Great Pyramid at Giza across the sea and up to the temple – and if you use the 30th parallel on which the Great Pyramid lies as the base chord -the angle created is 51051’, the phi angle, the angle of inclination of the faces of the pyramid.

Most all peoples believed that there was an Eden and a fall from grace, a period of titans, a great mythological age…..
