1. Google the weight of the stone

2. Google the lifting capacity of modern cranes

3. Realize the Romans didn't lift these stones, but slid them to where they were needed. The stone has even been carved on an angle so that it will nicely drop onto a set of rollers.

The stones at Baalbek weigh 6000 tons. Theres no "rollers" that can support that kind of weight. Thats the weight of 3,000 cars combined into a single block of stone. Come on now...

Thats over 600x heavier than those supposed 9-ton pieces of coral

You seem to believe everything in the Bible is literally true. Are you trying to make God look foolish?

You answered my question with a question. No I do not want to make God look foolish, thats just silly

... All told, the Bible records at least three groups or races of people who produced giants after the flood. They were the Anakim (children of Anak), the people of Bashan, and the Philistines (Rephaim).

But, no height is given.
...
God Bless

Till all are one.
FYI, there is one Adam race, and the giants are remnants of the fallen watchers, meaning they are one evil spirit with them, though the flesh is stolen by gene splitting, for the bodies of their evil remnant/residue spirits to wear.
Height is given in the Word of these guys:
Amo 2:9
Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

Num 13:33
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Deu 2:10

The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
Deu 2:11
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

Gen 14:5

And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims [rapha -im/ plural for giants] in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim...

the emims were giants of mixed kinds, some animal part and some Adam flesh part got from the sons of the fallen Watchers practicing beastiality and gene splitting, to produce monsters.

The Word" Emim" is from Hebrew for "Terrors" =as in your worst nightmares.

In Genesis 36:24, Anah found Emim/the Raphaim= the "dead"/giants, in the wilderness.
quote me, from The Book of Jasher
The Septuagint translated the word "jamin". The Hebrew word was not unknown, rather, the translators were biased by unbelief, and didn't believe their own eyes, about what it said.


And these are the sons of Sebegon; Aïe, and Ana; this is the Ana who found Jamin in the wilderness, when he tended the beasts of his father Sebegon.

The word is from אָיֹם terrible, dreadful. Plural Emims = "terrors".
Deu 2:10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; Deu 2:11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims/-אימים'Eymiym .

So the yemim/jamin is just a variation of spelling of a branch of the giants born after the flood, who were "terrible", and who dwelled in Moab.

The mixtures of giants/el [the sons of God] and beasts of the earth is told about in Enoch, Jasher, and the book of the Giants -which is attributed to Enoch in the DSS.

The translators were also biased in translating אריאל 'ariy'el lion- el in 1 Chronicles and 2 Samuel.
1Ch 11:22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two 'ariy'el of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
2Sa 23:20 ¶ And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two 'ariy'el of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:[/B]

The stones at Baalbek weigh 6000 tons. Theres no "rollers" that can support that kind of weight.

Even the one left in the quarry was only 1,000 tonnes. The others were around 800. And larger stones than that have been moved with rollers.

Did people actually see them do it or did a bunch of people assume that this is what "must" have been how they did it?

I'm betting that a bunch of people, with no other options, believed that this is what would have been done due to the fact that they have no other explanation for how it was done

I'm guessing the reason we don't have any fossil evidence of these guys is they jumped into the air and got caught by the sun's gravity.
There is a textual problem with that verse. Scholars have corrected Enoch 7:2 to a better text. The verse says nothing about the stature of the giants, instead it reads, “And they conceived from them and bore to them great giants. And the giants begot Nephilim, and to the Nephilim were born Elioud- and they were growing in accordance with their greatness."

You know, it also strange that between the time Adam was driven out of the Garden, until the flood is relatively short. Yet by the time Noah is ready to build the ark, we have the antediluvians.<snip>
This absolutely hilarious! Do you even look at what you typed before you post? Adam and Noah were both antediluvian. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
