The final picture on this page is the temple of jupiter, not that of Bacchus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.104.26 (talk) 11:52, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that this site; http://www.ufo-contact.com/baalbek Be added to the sources.[edit]

It REALLY MEANS NOTHING CONCERNING THE SITE'S MOTIVATION, BUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE WONDERFUL! And, I am disapponted that there is so little exhibited at this WIKI site!!

Class Assignment[edit]

Hello, I am currently in a class at the University of Wyoming called "The History of Architecture" and will be editing this page for my assignment. I realize that this is an important article for the WikiProjects of Lebanon and Architecture, so I wanted to give a brief description of what I want to try and accomplish for this assignment. First, I will edit and clean the current content, remove material that is uncited or paraphrased and add depth to the overview. Secondly I will add additional information to the historical section. Ideally, I would like this section to be beefed up to the current couple of years. Third, I will create an architecture section that refers to other wikipedia pages but also talks about the physical architecture of the building. Fourth, potentially adding other sections: "Current Status" and "Works of Art/Decorative Motif/etc" to describe the remaining motifs and decorative objects still present. Finally, I hope to find some quality images to add to the page, especially concerning any remaining art still within the walls of the temple.

Please let me know if you all who are watching the page have any suggestions, precautions or thoughts regarding my edits. DonatelliaAustin (talk) 23:32, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, use top-quality references, & concentrate on adding rather than removing. Johnbod (talk) 23:37, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Two questions I want to pose to the people who watch this Wikipedia: The first, I want to add some information about the International Baalbek Festival to this article because the Festival is usually focused on being in the temple complex and sometimes specifically Bacchus, but is it appropriate to do so when we have a Wikipedia page on the festival already? Baalbeck International Festival

The second, within the architecture section, it just seems to be small tidbits of information on the sites architecture and art without being to concise or unified...do you folks have any tips or guidelines on how to describe ancient architecture to include both instances of destruction (earthquakes and quarrying) and descriptions?
