Israel, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria formed Canaan. Baalbek is near Damascus and anyone travelling on land north to Syria from this area would have went right by it. If the Baalbek pre-Roman megaliths had existed during this time they would have no doubt been familiar with it which Kings seems to imply they were. The strangest thing would be if they didn't know it was there. Byblos and the cedar forests of Lebanon were an important trading and resource hub since predynastic times, not just for the DE, but for the Mesopotamians. There is a reason they all revered this place as the "home of the gods", the question is why?
