We know that because there are even larger blocks that cracked and were abandoned from being fully excavated, in said quarry, dated to the same time period.
Also, the quarry was uphill of the Temple site, meaning they had to move them downhill, not uphill as Ancient Aliens claims.
Yes, it would have been a serious accomplishment in engineering, but not impossible given the Roman’s understanding of construction technology.
I almost don’t blame ancient alien loons for Baalbek. Those stones are something else.
