There were GIANTS: Baal, Asuras, Tiwanaku


The MEGALITHIC mystery of Baalbek — Massive stones no one can explain
(Uncharted Mysteries) Nov. 1, 2025: Something about Baalbek (ancient Heliopolis) doesn’t make sense — an ancient platform in Lebanon [next to modern Israel] built from stone blocks so massive that no known method could have moved them.

One of these blocks weighs over 1,500 tons, yet it was somehow carved, transported, and stacked with perfect precision thousands of years ago. The mystery of how and why it was built has divided historians, engineers, and archeologists for decades.

In this short documentary, we’ll explore the origins of Baalbek, who might have built it, and the incredible techniques that made it possible.
  • Baal [6][7][8] or Baʿal [9][a] was a title with the honorific meaning "lord" or "owner" in the Northwest Semitic languages spoken in the Levant during antiquity. From its use among people, it came to be applied to gods [11]. Scholars previously associated the theonym ("name of god") with solar cults and with a variety of unrelated patron deities, but inscriptions have shown that the name Baal was particularly associated with the storm and fertility god Hadad and his local manifestations [12]. The Ugaritic god Baal (𐎁𐎓𐎍) is the protagonist of one of the lengthiest surviving epics from the ancient Near East, the Baal Cycle. Known by epithets like “rider of the clouds” and “Victorious Baal,” he [like India's Indra/Sakra and ancient Greece's Zeus] was associated with rain, lightning, wind, fertility, and kingship, and was often depicted in opposition to sea and death deities like Yammu and Mot.

From the colossal Trilithon stones to the legends of gods and giants, this investigation reveals why Baalbek remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the ancient world.

The Asuras (Titans) of Buddhism and Hinduism

Asuras
(Sanskrit असुर) are a class of beings in Dharmic religions [1]. They are described as power-seeking beings related to the more benevolent Devas (also known as Suras) in Hinduism.
  • If Suras are "gods" then A-suras are "anti-gods." In Buddhism, they came to earth when Sakka (Indra), King of the Devas, through them out of his heaven (the Realm of the Thirty-Three), but as proof that Suras and Asuras very closely related, Sakka's wife is said to be an Asuran princess.
In a Buddhist context, the word Asura is translated as "titan," "demigod," and "antigod" [2]. According to Hindu texts, the Asuras are in constant fear of the Devas [3]: 2–6.

Asuras are described in Indian texts as powerful superhuman demigods with good or bad qualities. In early Vedic literature, the good Asuras are called Adityas and are led by Varuna, while the malevolent ones are called Danavas and are led by Vritra [4]: 4.

In the earliest layer of Vedic texts, Agni, Indra, and other gods (Devas) are also called Asuras, in the sense of their being "lords" of their respective domains, knowledge, and abilities.

In later Vedic and post-Vedic texts, the benevolent gods are called Devas, while malevolent Asuras compete against these Devas and are considered "enemy of the gods" [4][5].

Asuras are part of Hinduism along with Yakshas (ogres, shapeshifting nature protectors, monsters, spirits), Rakshasas (fierce man-eating ogres, ghouls, demons), Bhutas (ghosts), and many more.

Asuras have been featured in many cosmological theories and legends in Hinduism and Buddhism [6][7][8]. More

Older mother of all civilizations? Scientists now think Tiwanaku was first civilization

Scientists think Tiwanaku was the first civilization
(Origins Explained) Nov. 18, 2025: Origins Explained Daily. I’ve wanted to tell this story for ages because Tiwanaku feels like a secret the mountains kept to themselves. High above Lake Titicaca is Bolivia’s megalithic heartland to see laser-like stonework, the Akapana pyramid, Kalasasaya, and new DNA clues that change what we think we know. Then we’ll step into Pumapunku’s mind-bending blocks, lake-buried offerings to Viracocha, and a newly found temple at Palaspata that ties the whole network together. Love ancient engineering, origin myths, and real science challenging wild theories? Then this is a great episode.
