Arabic manuscript found at Baalbek and quoted by Alouf in his informative History of Baalbek, after the flood,
when Nimrod reigned over Lebanon, he sent giants to rebuild the fortress of Baalbek, which was so named in honour of Baal,
the god of the Moabites and worshippers of the Sun.

His harshness prompted a revolt that he crushed decisively in a pitched, two-day battle. According to his monument inscription, while recalling this massacre he says: Their men young and old I took prisoners. Of some I cut off their feet and hands; of others I cut off the ears noses and lips; of the young men's ears I made a heap; of the old men's heads I made a minaret. I exposed their heads as a trophy in front of their city. The male children and the female children I burned in flames; the city I destroyed, and consumed with fire.
Following this victory, he advanced without opposition as far as the Mediterranean and exacted tribute from Phoenicia. On his return home, he moved his capital to the city of Kalhu (Nimrud).

It would been a lot easier to simply cut stone blocks of a weight easily handled and placed in position. But the original builders of baalbeck cut blocks of stone weighing some 800 tons and apparently with little effort shifted them with ease and placed them into position with perfect accuracy.
I would claim that such a feat would be impossible using the technology of that time. It would be tremendously difficult today using all the machinery at our disposal.
So the questions are: how and why?

News was it was to be rebuilt to Baal.
A ruse since it was looted only what they could move.
Unable to move the 455 ton Karnak obelisk, Augustus took two other obelisks from the Sun Temple in Heliopolis, instead. It was the first transport of obelisks to Rome. The obelisks are now in the Piazza del Popolo (235 tons), and the Piazza di Montecitorio (230 tons). Funny, 235 + 230 = 465. So, Augustus got his 455 tons, plus change, but it was in two parts. These are solid indications of the then Roman capacity in moving heavy objects.

After three simple incursions they could not or cannot or could not move the stones.

Anyways it was noted they want to rebuild and rededicate it.
Baal of the Beqaa', and refers to the fertile Beqaa plain. Book of Enoch and came across this text.
Enoch 10:4 And again the Lord said to Raphael: Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light.
I hope they leave the base stones in place...
Enoch - I came unto them, and they were all sitting gathered together,
weeping in Abelsjail, which is between Lebanon and Seneser, with their faces covered.
And I recounted before them all the visions which I had seen in sleep,
and I began to speak the words of righteousness, and to reprimand the heavenly Watchers.
