Mistic Power

The mysterious ruins of Baalbek. One of the great Power Places of the ancient world. For thousands of years its secrets have been shrouded in darkness, or bathed in an artificial light by those who would offer us a simplistic solution to its mysteries.
You are looking at the columns of the Temple of Jupiter - the grandest temple that the Romans ever built - one of the wonders of the ancient world. To this remote location in the Bekaa Valley of modern-day Lebanon, Roman emperors would travel 1,500 miles to make offerings to their gods and receive oracles on the destiny of their empire.
Much has changed in two thousand years. The magnificent temple is ruined, its gods abandoned, its secrets forgotten. Even the ruins have been neglected, wiped off the tourist map by twenty years of terrorism, war, hostages and hijackings.
Some archaeologists might well wish that Baalbek had been buried forever. For it is here that we find the largest dressed stone block in the world - the infamous Stone of the South, lying in its quarry just ten minutes walk from the temple acropolis. This huge stone weighs approximately 1,000 tons - almost as heavy as three Boeing 747 aircraft.[1]
Back at the temple acropolis, three stones not much smaller than this, weighing 800 tons each, have been miraculously fitted together in a wall, forming a Trilithon at a height of 20 feet.
I personally seized the opportunity to visit Baalbek in May 1995, shortly after tourists began returning to the bombed-out ruins of Lebanon. This e-tour will mirror my real life tour, which climaxed at the mighty Trilithon and the Stone of the South. In due course I will attempt to provide some personal insights into the enormous scale of this construction and the motivations of its builders.
First, however, I offer you the rare opportunity to see the entire Baalbek, of which the mighty Trilithon is only a part. As we progress through our e-tour, reflect on the glorious splendour that was once here and ask yourself "why here?". What was it that caused the original sanctity of this remote site? What was it that prompted the Romans to quarry, move and erect literally millions of stone blocks?
We begin at the main acropolis by considering first this bird's eye view of how it might have looked in Roman times, before its fortification by the Muslims. A monumental staircase leads up to the entrance or Propylaea, beyond which we find the Hexagonal Courtyard, the Great Courtyard, the Temple of Jupiter, the smaller Temple of Bacchus, and the much smaller Temple of Venus. Note the unusual fact that the acropolis of Baalbek is not aligned to the cardinal points of the compass.
The Temple of Venus can be dealt with briefly. Situated in what is now a field of rubble, its former elegance can no longer be seen, and only four of its ten columns remain standing. Being outside the fortified acropolis, this temple was swallowed up by an Arab town, to such an extent that the German Archaeological Mission had to remove five metres of debris to clear the first step of the monumental staircase at its entrance. The remains of the temple were dismantled and re-erected in the early 1930s, but they now threaten to collapse again.
We now enter the main acropolis via the Propylaea - what we see here is a reconstruction by the German archaeological expedition in 1905. The original staircase was destroyed by the Arabs to fortify the site and they dismantled the 12 granite columns which they re-used for defensive purposes. Only the bases of those columns survived, and they bore inscriptions identifying their Roman origin.
Having come through the entrance, we find ourselves in the middle of the impressive Hexagonal Courtyard, which is a unique feature for a temple of this period (it may well have been a concession by the Romans to local customs and traditions). Roman inscriptions are found here in abundance, but the purpose of the Hexagonal Courtyard remains unknown.
We now proceed into the Great Courtyard...

The Mystery of the Stones at Baalbek (2)

We now proceed into the Great Courtyard - an immense square court, thought to have housed the statues of the pantheon of the twelve Great Gods. The photograph shows the remains of the Altar of Sacrifice. Although constructed by the Romans, it apparently supersedes a much earlier altar which was dedicated to the god Baal-Hadad, and is built over a natural crevice some 150 feet deep, at the bottom of which is a small rock-cut altar. There are few tourists around to provide a comparative scale of measurement, but such a person would in fact be no taller than the base of this altar.
Behind the Altar we can see the foundation of the Great Tower, which was an even more impressive structure, 50 feet high, with two independent flights of stairs. Both the Altar and Tower were destroyed by the Christians who erected a basilica here. In 1934-5 it was decided to tear down the basilica which was hindering archaeological excavation. Only then were the ancient Altar and Tower rediscovered. The Great Tower which once stood here was not a Roman tradition, but probably a concession to local traditions of worship in 'high places'. Note the excavations to the left of this picture. The dig uncovered middle bronze age houses, from the 2nd millennium BC and evidence of earlier occupation back to 2900 BC.[2]
On the other side of the Great Courtyard lies a truly monumental staircase leading up to a raised platform on which the Temple of Jupiter once stood. In this picture we can see the bases of the now fallen columns - the bases alone are 8 feet high. If we wished, we could climb these stairs and stand in awe beneath the six remaining columns, which rise to a spectacular height of 66 feet. But the best view of these columns comes not from this angle but from the nearby Temple of Bacchus.
This is the Temple of Bacchus, and it is undoubtedly the best preserved Roman temple in the world. Its 46 columns included 15 on each side and 8 on the ends, most of which are intact in this picture, although the eastern end here is clearly missing a few.
 
The southern side of the Temple of Bacchus, in contrast, has suffered badly. Here I am setting the scale of the infamous leaning column - a tourist favourite - which was probably felled by the earthquake of 1759. This massive column, formed of three parts, stands 60 feet high including the base and the capital. Incidentally, the drums are held together by dowels made of bronze, embedded in lead.
 
 
Let's now enter the Temple of Bacchus...
We now climb 33 steps to the Temple of Bacchus and enter a large court with an imposing doorway 40 feet high. Note the slipped keystone which was once propped up by a crude tower of bricks, but has now been properly renovated.
Proceeding through the doorway, we are surrounded by further columns and niches which once housed the pantheon of the gods. At the far end, nothing remains of the beautiful shrine which once stood against this far wall and housed the statue of the god Bacchus.
The main temple of Baalbek, however, was reserved for the chief deity himself - Iovi Optimo Maximo Heliopolitano 'Jupiter the Most High, the Most Great'. This is the view of what remains from the staircase we saw earlier. The destruction of this magnificent temple is thought to have begun with the earthquake of 526 or 551. Curiously, the chronicler Michael the Syrian records the popular belief that the temple was destroyed by fire from the sky.[3] Historians assume this is a misunderstanding and think that the fire was a consequence of the earthquake.
Following that 6th century earthquake and fire, Byzantine and Arab occupants ravaged the ruins of the Temple of Jupiter, using its stone as building material elsewhere on the acropolis. Further earthquakes, such as in 1158, 1203, and 1664  increased the devastation.
The last really big quake in 1759 brought down three columns, leaving only the six that we see here. The Temple was so utterly destroyed that it has never been possible to accurately reconstruct its ground plan, and little can be gleaned from visiting the site.
We do know that 58 columns once graced this Temple, 19 down each side and 10 at each end, enclosing an area twice as large as the Temple of Bacchus. Each column soared to a height of 66 feet, built on a platform which was raised 26 feet higher than the surrounding buildings.
Here was a building which stretched to the limit the ingenuity of man, in which ancient man literally reached out to the heavens and communicated to the gods. To imagine the pride felt by those who took part in this magnificent achievement, even down to the humblest workman, is to recognise a greatness that is rarely found in modern society.
However, as magnificent as the Temple of Jupiter certainly was, it stood on a terrace of colossal stones which was, and still is, even more impressive. If you look carefully at the photograph above you will see me, 6 foot one inch in height, standing on a block which measures approximately 33 by 14 by 10 feet, and weighing an incredible 300 tons. There are nine such blocks visible in this wall.
Now, it is time to experience the climax of Baalbek...

To realize the great Majapahit desire, I swore to stay away from Wiwaha hamukti before citaku ideals and our goals were realized. I'm not going to have fun first. I will remain berprihatin in fasting without end solely for greatness Majapahit. I vowed not to rest. Seagrass huwus lost Nusantara Ingsun amukti palapa ring, seagrass defeated Desert, ring Seram, Tanjungpura, ring Haru, ring Pahang, Dompo, ring Bali, Sunda, Palembang, Tumasek, only Ingsun amukti palapa.

Oath is really horrible to speak in front of Gajah Mada Manguntur when Bale made his inauguration into the Majapahit Mahapatih accompany Sri Gitarja Tribhuanatunggadewi Jayawisnuwardhani and Dyah Wiyat Rajadewi Maharajasa. Oath was later famous for Palapa Oath. How not, this is true statesman vowed to not have fun in this fast with no end before the whole archipelago under the Majapahit greatness. Reading his biography, written in the form of historical novel by Sky Kresna Hadi (Gajah Mada: Hamukti Palapa, Solo: Three), pictured in my mind a figure of Gajah Mada placed on the state's interest to personal and group interests. He is willing to kill seeds that could disrupt the government langgengnya later. Even if necessary, he can draw his own life for his country. I suspect, the case ends Bubat War glory of Majapahit which relaxes its relationship with the King UB pitcher.One important question in my mind when down the figure of Gajah Mada. What causes Gajah Mada able to carry out his vow? Concepts and principles of life such as what constitutes Gajah Mada swore like that? Perhaps one reason that can be gleaned from a strange concept of women. Here is an excerpt of dialogue between Gajah Mada Mahapatih Arya eat about his wife. Although this is only speculative fiction, but of course Mr. Sky has been doing research so that the concept of Gajah Mada very sensible woman with an oath palapa. "Women are the source of weakness for me, Uncle What if I serve, will experience resistance to all movement speed. Looking ahead,! I do not want to be bothered by little things. In fact, in the future, Majapahit need mighty people, requiring a strong, not afraid of blood spilled from his body, it takes a brave man who chose the sacrifice of the game and not bound by time.
"How can I make all my dreams if I disturbed female creature named wife, a petulant whine.'s Wife or daughter to me no different from hunger and thirst that must be resisted." When I read this verse I was surprised. I am very impressed with the principle of Gajah Mada's. And when I forget to review this book, the impression is slowly settle and be replaced by pages from the books I read next, until I read a book written by Eiji Yoshikawa Musashi. Musashi, while traveling on Way of the Sword, proved to have a principle about women that are similar to Gajah Mada. And it makes me re-open the book Gajah Mada and write what I want I write here.

Atlantis is the subject of a legend about an advanced island civilization that was destroyed or lost. Stories about Atlantis are first mentioned in Plato's dialogues Timaeus and Critias, in which characters say it was destroyed by an earthquake or a tsunami about 9,000 years before the time in which Plato wrote. The story claims Atlantis was somewhere outside the Pillars of Hercules. According to Plato, the story originated with Ancient Egyptian priests.

Some people believe that the stories are fictions made up to serve the purposes of Plato's dialogs. But others take them as if they were serious historical accounts.
There have been dozens — perhaps hundreds — of locations proposed for the classical Atlantis. Some are more-or-less serious attempts at legitimate scholarly or archaeological works; others have been made by psychic or other pseudoscientific means. As continental drift became better understood and accepted during the 1950s, most "Lost Continent" theories of Atlantis have been proven conclusively false.

Some cultures have "lost civilization" myths. In some cases, it has been argued that there is a common historical event or real "lost civilization" at the root of some or all of these legends, but there is considerable disagreement between the competing hypotheses. It may be that these legends have arisen from many different historical events, and are only just now being associated by modern theorizers because of their similarity. It may also be that these legends are entirely fictional, but for some reason have arisen and remained popular in many different cultures at different times.

Quantcast Leak is an ancient knowledge passed down by ancestors of Hindu in Bali. In this day and age people wondering what really a leak there?, Is it really such a leak is sick? In general, the leakage was not injured, the leak was a pretty good knowledge of the process for those interested. Because science leakage also has its own ethics.Not easy to learn science leak. It takes a very good ability to learn science leak. In a society often labeled leak could hurt even kill humans, but not like that. Science leakage is the same with the other science that is contained in Bali, an ancient papyrus. leakage science is not the first people at random to learn, because science is a science that is confidential as a leaky defense from enemy attack.

Ancient Balinese people who study this science is a high level, the king was accompanied by his subordinates. The goal for defense science from enemy attack, especially from the outside. The people who study this science choose a secret place, because knowledge does leak a secret. So those who carelessly do not learn.
That hurt or science nerangjana teluh, is the science which negatively, especially for people because it hurts some thing like a revenge, envy, wanting more superior, science is what is called pengiwa. Pengiwa science that many developing countries are often labeled as the scientific brain. As mentioned above there is a leak in accordance with their level of knowledge, including endih leakage. Endih leaks usually appears at the time, they again exercise or more Frolic with the diversion or same or opposite sex. The appearance of his endih overnight, especially at midnight. The next day a day isn't random people start doing science. Why a place haunted? This is consistent with the science of brain, where people who study this science should be in the desert place, usually at the cemetery or somewhere quiet. Endih this may be natural or jnananya (soul), because this knowledge cannot be generalized for you.
People who happened to see it does not need to be vigilant. Be it makes sense. If you are afraid to see, say the name of the Lord's name. Endih not cause heat. And endih not used for cooking because it is different. Endih leakage is abstract, can not be touched. Leak shoping at the Tombs In essence, science is the science of spirituality leakage which aims to seek enlightenment through sacred script. Balinese script is not called a leak. That there is "Liya, ak" meaning five characters (insert and remove the power of literacy in the body through specific procedures.) Five character Si, Wa, Ya, Na, Ma. - Si is to reflect God - Wa is a gift - Yes is the soul - Na is the force that covers the intelligence - is a selfishness that shackles the soul power of this script is called Ma gni pentameter (five fires).
