People often forget that we're not all smarter now because we have access to technology and unlimited information. People may have better tools but those tools are just a stand in for ingenuity. The understanding and manipulation of physics that allowed people to reduce friction, change centres of gravity and otherwise maneuver objects several dozen times their own weight with tricks and systems like this is what proved humanity's metal.

somewhat disagree on the point that we lost our way. The great capability of our brains (and some extent to other apes) is to build upon existing knowledge and pass that knowledge to the next generation. So that we dont have to reinvent the same thing over and over again. So we knew how to lift heavy objects with levers and counter weights, but it is tedious and needs a lot of preparation. but we’ve done the maths and figured we can overpower it and then we can cut time and space needed. though we needed a few more things for it to work not just sheer power (pullies for example) but then we put all together and built cranes. our strenght is that once we figure out something we can pass that on effectively and efficiently and the next person might come up with something. Sure people in ancient Egypt and Inkas and other countries figured out how to lift heavy objects but it took an insane amount of people to do it because it needed so much prepwork. today, you jump in your truck, use your tools and you move that block of concrete. we are also working on stuff our ancestors could not imagine. (hello this phone i am writing the comment and the device you reading it back) and while You and I might not work with levers and pullies there are others who do, because it fits their needs. so i dont think we lost our way, we moved on to new challenges and we are solving other problems while standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. hopefully one day our future generations will stand on our shoulders when they conquer their problems in fact we not just didnt lost our way, we are moving to the next challenge faster and faster and we are working on unimaginable things now with ease. I mean just look back 30 years to see where technology and science was there and where we are today. we are probably not smarter than the folks back in egypt, but i dont think that we are not dumber either. We can simply use what others figured out before us and think about the next challenge without the need to reinvent those again. i think, we as a species are incredibly good what we are doing. (ignoring the dumb shit we also do :) - but hey… we do it while filiming it :) )

You can read in Aku Aku secrets of Easter island by Thor heyerdal how a group of men lifted one of the largest statues on the island from lying down to standing. They used long pieces of timber as a lever and raised it inch by inch each time it was raised a rock was placed underneath to hold it. There was then a large pile of rocks supporting it until finally it was lifted enough for the final push to stand it upright. He has written about the great structures build in peru. The pyramids in Egypt are not the only great structures of the world built from stone. They are all over the world.
They were carved directly out of the hills and then already standing upright they were tethers by rope by many people in different directions and then walked all the way to its final destination. By way of tilting it from side to side and its centre of gravity would be over one side and then slowly but surely it would walk long distances. There is broken statues along the road from the quarry all the way to the lines of statues that stand today, these ones broke and were left where they fell over to this day
They actually carved them laying on their back. The back was the last thing they carved away to stand them up. Please read the book if you'd like more information. In fact you should read any thir heyerdal book you can find. He was a great thinker of our time and a true explorer. Kon-tiki is a must read. Green was the earth on the seventh day is also great.
Conspiracy Theorists: Bro how could build mega big rock tower with no lifty truck huh? Aliens! Archimedes: Hand me a lever, a place to stand, and hold my beer.
It’s an interesting video for sure but come on man. We can’t build an exact duplicate of the great Giza pyramid today in 2024. Any idea of how perfectly complex it fits together ?
@@RaiderNation816 we can build it, but no one actually wants to, it's expensive and time consuming with little to no actual use, unless some eccentric rich guy decided that they want one, another pyramid is probably not gonna get built.
@@RaiderNation816 there are theories about how they were built, and there are many different ways they could have built them, however we don't know how the pyramids were built, not because we have no idea how they did it, but because we don't know which theory was the exact one. And we clearly can build one with modern technology, there are trucks that can carry entire space shuttles weighing several tons, some people even decided they want their entire houses moved ,and that can be done. The only reason why no one has built a pyramid with a similar size and material, is because, as I said, no one actually wants to, it's expensive and time consuming, and literally has no use, spending that much money can't be justified for a structure with such little use. No one would pay for that, unless as I said, some eccentric rich guy decideds to pay for it. Just because you can't understand how the pyramids would be built with modern technology, doesn't mean that we can't actually do it. If you really want, I can go through a simple explanation with you, in fact would be happy to, but I'm not gonna write a whole detailed essay, a youtube comment section argument is not worth that much effort. Also, I have one question, why do you think it's impossible to do it with modern technology? And I'm asking for the specifics, I'm genuinely curious for the precise reason to why you believe it's impossible, and don't just say "because it is" or anything along those lines, as that is not a sufficient enough reason.
This is not forgotten technology, I use this almost everyday in my shop, moving heavy equipment around, vehicles, pieces of metal. It is only forgotten in this wonderful computer world. Great video with alot of common sense.
As a contractor who does a lot of structural work, I move plenty of heavy things. People are constantly amazed at what I can move without help. Familiarity with basic practical physics and mechanics isn’t that complicated folks! Whenever I’d watch these stupid shows about how we don’t know how these huge things were moved, or worse that aliens did it, it’s just so clear they didn’t consult an actual builder or engineer. That and a real lack of practical imagination and creativity, AKA problem solving. Also, the heaviest stone ever moved was the Thunder Stone, the plinth of a Tsarist statue in St Petersburg. The moving of it is thoroughly documented. It was moved from Finland in the 19th century using simple techniques that could have easily been employed thousands of years ago. That anyone could go from “wow, how did that get there?” To “must be aliens or some supernatural force” without any stops along the way is just amazing. It’s ok if you don’t know the answer. It’s not ok to make up crazy shit without consulting experts.
I will never forget being in elementary school and learning about the four "simple machines". To this day, I'm still amazed that a ramp is considered a "machine".
If you're ever in Sicily, go to Archimedes' technology exposition in Siracusa. The place is full of these hands-on neat construction, military or hydraulic technologies that you get to play with.
Ancient humans were far smarter than we give them credit. Shit they were smarter than us. The tools that make our jobs "easy" have us forgetting that level of ingenuity that was needed to complete large tasks back before the technology we've had over the past century.
There's not much difference in intelligence between humans now and humans 200,000 years ago. At most we're maybe 10 to 15 IQ points higher. We've just gotten better at not killing our geniuses and inventors for some dumb reason like witchcraft or superstition.
People always forget about human ingenuity. For example when we are trying to figure out how the ancients built the pyramids, there are a few dozens trying to figure it out, most of them from behind a desk. It is VERY different from thousands of ancient engineers trying to figure it out for centuries, actually building smaller prototypes, and getting way more funding for it than today. I would bet they had a lot more tricks which they didn’t write down.
@@Lsingnatureworldif only there was a large stream of water between Giza and Aswan. And if only the Egyptians were smart enough to engineer some sort of floatation device from wood or conjure some papyrus reed raft.
@@Lsingnatureworld Lmao, you folks claimed they needed aliens to even move the stones shown here. Just admit you're wrong. Those ancient humans were simply far smarter than you.
I was a solo carpet installer for years. A couple of sawed up broomstick rollers underneath and a baseball bat in each end and there was nothing I couldn't move. Of course carpet rolls are cylinders, so they move pretty easy on one axis.
There is not one one thing about the construction of the pyramids that cannot be accomplished by man by using multiple methods of construction and engineering.
This guy raised a 10 ton slab by himself, I'm sure making it 70 tons changes absolutely nothing. If you can see-saw a block and shim a new balance point back and forth, it gets raised little by little.
Bravo :) I heard too many scientists and mathematicians argue how it might be done. It needs a Man with experience to show them how it WAS done :-) Experience replaces nothing, but nothing replaces experience ! Bill
Bill Todd, He’s using counter balance, gravitational force, pivoting, leverage, etc. All very Basic mechanical engineering and Newtonian physics type stuff.
@Bill Todd There’s nothing lost or mysterious about these technologies. 100 years earlier a guy from Latvia built a castle in Florida all by himself using the same techniques. He developed some of them as an engineer. I’m not taking away anything from Wally, because without gumption and motivation nothing would ever get done. But he’s just building on techniques that he’s learned and used that were already around. And he himself is very educated through the practical application of these ideas. There’s no mystery here except why a retired guy in his 50s would take up such an odd hobby. I think it’s awesome. It sounds like you’re trying to compensate for insecurities about lack of education. And you act like engineers and mathematicians don’t have experience. Some of them are among the most experienced people on earth. These disciplines can be simplistically divided into practical and theoretical. But even theoretical scientists have massive amounts of experience. Before formalized mathematics and science, people figured out how to do stuff. They did it by trial and error, which is just another form of science. It’s called experimentation. Which is in itself education.

@@ilyarepin7750 If only there was a nearby river to easily move super heavy objects... If only there was a material known for being very abrasive all around the nearby area...
Technically...most of this "forgotten technology" is actually still being used today. That's why we have very very nice things like vehicles, buildings, bridges etc etc
As an infant from Senegal who once moved a stone before I ask let's take a moment to appreciate the some finer point of the video that most people don't appreciate and then in another ten years we'll all go algorithm wow together
Why do people keep asking about transporting? In the beginning it shows him push a 300 pound block across those saw tooth looking things. Uses it on weight to move forward. All he needs to do is scale it up people.
Still a bit of a mass difference....everybody trying to come up with their own methods but not one of them use a block almost identical to the ones at the pyramids. It's like crash testing a car chassis using the real thing and the toy - we all know the real one will crumble but the toy remains mostly intact.
@@JustAnOrdinarySimmer You can use that tool he made for rotating the blocks to flip them end over end, since it provides a bunch of leverage. You can also rotate the stone back and forth on alternating pivot points, kind of like you would with moving a very heavy piece of furniture... where you tilt it back on its corners to shift into place. The majority of the Pyramid blocks are ACTUALLY the size of the stone he's rotating (the medium sized one, not the huge slab), roughly one cubic yard.
Honestly, it's probably more efficient to make a wheel encasement around the block so that it can be rolled on flat ground. Really depends on how many stone need to be moved. If it's thousands of stones, then building the rounded sawtooth rails is probably more efficient. Then if you multiply the amount of laborers, this idea isn't insane.
These technologies are not forgotten, they are just not required anymore now that we have heavy machinery that can do the job a lot faster. Sure, the average person may not know about them, but the average person didn't know about them 1000, 2000 or 4000 years ago either. Architects and construction works were the ones who had to know that.
Where's the video of the giant slab being placed on top of the mechanism that allowed it to be spun by hand? Or the smaller blocks being placed on the slab?
Very healthy skepticism but it's no stretch of the imagination to conclude that he used a rope and pulley like with the stone at the start of the video.
One detail I heard about was the people at that time used the pyramids as a way to live ...Each group of people were like we are today they each had there own jobs in the building right down to the tool makers and cooks...It was a civilization that drew people from far places to trade goods etc....I can't remember the show probably how they built the pyramids 😝🤣😳😳🤓🤓Surf around TH-cam I will try to find that show and get back to ya...Remember these people worked long hours back in them days. We have gotten something called the weekend now lol...They probably would not believe how easy we live today😝🤣😅🤓😎😎😎
Yeah like cutting granite blocks with copper and actually getting the granite blocks for the chamber up that high inside the pyramid, pyramids weren't tombs hence the valley of the kings grave site
@@1catmilkdrinker you can split granite with copper, and the cutting is done by pushing a slurry of wet sand that contains many minerals harder than granite. Besides, granite can carve granite... even if you are unable to find a slightly more durable stone to bash with. As for raising the blocks, this same retired construction worker has another longer video that was basically guaranteed to be on the recommended tab to the right. Let me know if you can't find it. (I suspect you don't want answers, and just prefer your theories)
@@g.e.o.r.g.e... how do u raise 30 tons of granite into the middle of the pyramid I work with granite have you tried cutting it with wet sand 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m glad this was recommended to everyone, people need to see how easy our problems are and how blinded by technology we have now which makes things too easy
Lost? You mean stolen and locked away in the Vatican. There's 5 miles of bookselves in the Vatican. The fire was just a diversion. They been doing this for 1000's of years. Hitler did it. Alexander the great also did this. These men were told to pillage whats valuable and destroy the rest. The US did this after WW2. Operation Paperclip - we took 1500 scientists from Germany and put them to work for us. Some of the positions they filled was at NASA and other government companies.
now imagine 1 million laborers...some kratom tea and some bad ass leafs to suck on like coca and them dudes would be making it happen..one pyramid coming up
How was the pivot placed underneath the biggest stone keeping in mind it couldn't have been digging as it is smooth concrete underneath it? now scale it up to 100 tonnes
The biggest stone at baalbak is about 1000 tons. The base stones at the library of Alexandria are estimated to be a little heavier maybe 1200 tons. It can be scaled up even to those proportions
This is very good practical demonstration of how it could have been done. Two questions remain thou: the transport of megaliths between 100 to over 1000 tons, over hundreds of Kms, and the precision cutting of hard igneous rock, up to 0.0000x" tolerances.
He's got half the answers, yes. But 600,000 lb block rolled 900 miles from Aswan to ballbek. Then repeat few dozen times. Though that would explain why every tree in Egypt disappeared.
Add in a few other clever folks and tens of thousands of slaves. In the case of the pyramids, add in all the resources of an entire nation being used in service to what the populace believe to be a divine being.
@@user-tz5uq2bt1s Partially true but builders of the pyramids were workers not slaves and the rocks used to build the pyramids were quarry nearby only the granite was transported from far away.
People have been cutting stone since… the Stone Age. And we have ample proof that it is possible, because stone had been quarried, the same way, for millennia, up until the turn of the last century.
Tiene sentido si piensas un poco. El hombre utilizó correctamente la imaginación, haz lo mismo. O por lo menos busca otro vídeos donde los muestra. Hay muchos
90 tons though? Him spinning the stone doesn’t explain being able to place it perfectly on the side of a mountain and 15 feet or more off the ground. All he’s doing are science experiments, i understand the pint he’s trying to make, but the scale is EXPONENTIALLY bigger when you talk about Peru, Egypt, Asia, Easter island. this works, to a point.
It's a 42 second video briefly explaining what one man can do, now imagine hundreds of thousands of ppl with millions of hours of combined work with centuries to devise the plans. Not very bright are you...
buahahahahahaha I would love to see how he does that with at least one 600 tones block, but first he have to cut this stone with such a pressision and than lift it up for 50 meters xd
genuinely wondering: this guy stood up a 10 tonne (he says 20000 pounds in another vid) rock using wood, rope, levers on his own. From Google: the largest rock in the great pyramids is 80 tonnes and the largest in stonehenge is 30 tonnes. This would mean there is a potential for 8 men to stand up an 80 tonne tock

This is Wally Wallington demonstrating ancient megalithic structural building techniques he used while building a 1:1 concrete duplicate of Stonehenge on his property in Michigan. I might be misremembering a detail, but he was mentioned in an episode of the Skeptoid podcast many years ago. Look him up.
Just visited Meteora in Greece where 600 years ago they built on top of cliffs. They joked the build only took 20 days. After 20 years of hauling materials up top. Guess we know how they pulled it off.
The rolling of the stone is really useful if you don't have wheels. No change in vertical position means it only needs to overcome inertia and friction.
There's more video of this guy moving barns using little more than a well placed stone about the size of a golf ball. He rotated the barns and even moved one across his property.
My ‘ol boss in my Engineering days used to comment….building the pyramids was easy….feeding a million workers in the desert was a miracle….

hopefully one day our future generations will stand on our shoulders when they conquer their problems
in fact we not just didnt lost our way, we are moving to the next challenge faster and faster and we are working on unimaginable things now with ease. I mean just look back 30 years to see where technology and science was there and where we are today.
we are probably not smarter than the folks back in egypt, but i dont think that we are not dumber either. We can simply use what others figured out before us and think about the next challenge without the need to reinvent those again.
i think, we as a species are incredibly good what we are doing.

You can read in Aku Aku secrets of Easter island by Thor heyerdal how a group of men lifted one of the largest statues on the island from lying down to standing. They used long pieces of timber as a lever and raised it inch by inch each time it was raised a rock was placed underneath to hold it. There was then a large pile of rocks supporting it until finally it was lifted enough for the final push to stand it upright. He has written about the great structures build in peru. The pyramids in Egypt are not the only great structures of the world built from stone. They are all over the world.
all that just fo lift it meanwhile the ones who built it?
There is a lot of info in the book about how the statues were carved as well. It's really worth the read.
@@ilyarepin7750Yeah, a single person can make a statue out of a huge rock... That's easy... And "all that"?
They were carved directly out of the hills and then already standing upright they were tethers by rope by many people in different directions and then walked all the way to its final destination. By way of tilting it from side to side and its centre of gravity would be over one side and then slowly but surely it would walk long distances. There is broken statues along the road from the quarry all the way to the lines of statues that stand today, these ones broke and were left where they fell over to this day
They actually carved them laying on their back. The back was the last thing they carved away to stand them up. Please read the book if you'd like more information. In fact you should read any thir heyerdal book you can find. He was a great thinker of our time and a true explorer. Kon-tiki is a must read. Green was the earth on the seventh day is also great.

@@RaiderNation816 we can build it, but no one actually wants to, it's expensive and time consuming with little to no actual use, unless some eccentric rich guy decided that they want one, another pyramid is probably not gonna get built.
@@Sqiud3 - lol no we can’t dude. It’s construction has baffled experts since its discovery
@@RaiderNation816 there are theories about how they were built, and there are many different ways they could have built them, however we don't know how the pyramids were built, not because we have no idea how they did it, but because we don't know which theory was the exact one.
And we clearly can build one with modern technology, there are trucks that can carry entire space shuttles weighing several tons, some people even decided they want their entire houses moved ,and that can be done. The only reason why no one has built a pyramid with a similar size and material, is because, as I said, no one actually wants to, it's expensive and time consuming, and literally has no use, spending that much money can't be justified for a structure with such little use. No one would pay for that, unless as I said, some eccentric rich guy decideds to pay for it. Just because you can't understand how the pyramids would be built with modern technology, doesn't mean that we can't actually do it. If you really want, I can go through a simple explanation with you, in fact would be happy to, but I'm not gonna write a whole detailed essay, a youtube comment section argument is not worth that much effort.
Also, I have one question, why do you think it's impossible to do it with modern technology? And I'm asking for the specifics, I'm genuinely curious for the precise reason to why you believe it's impossible, and don't just say "because it is" or anything along those lines, as that is not a sufficient enough reason.

As a contractor who does a lot of structural work, I move plenty of heavy things. People are constantly amazed at what I can move without help. Familiarity with basic practical physics and mechanics isn’t that complicated folks! Whenever I’d watch these stupid shows about how we don’t know how these huge things were moved, or worse that aliens did it, it’s just so clear they didn’t consult an actual builder or engineer. That and a real lack of practical imagination and creativity, AKA problem solving.
Also, the heaviest stone ever moved was the Thunder Stone, the plinth of a Tsarist statue in St Petersburg. The moving of it is thoroughly documented. It was moved from Finland in the 19th century using simple techniques that could have easily been employed thousands of years ago.
That anyone could go from “wow, how did that get there?” To “must be aliens or some supernatural force” without any stops along the way is just amazing. It’s ok if you don’t know the answer. It’s not ok to make up crazy shit without consulting experts.

How did they built the Pyramids ?
By starting at the bottom.
Ancient humans were far smarter than we give them credit. Shit they were smarter than us. The tools that make our jobs "easy" have us forgetting that level of ingenuity that was needed to complete large tasks back before the technology we've had over the past century.
There's not much difference in intelligence between humans now and humans 200,000 years ago. At most we're maybe 10 to 15 IQ points higher. We've just gotten better at not killing our geniuses and inventors for some dumb reason like witchcraft or superstition.
Damn, you mean the communist zoophiles and nationalist white race supremacists i see on twitter might be a sign of declining average intelligience?
Look at all that alien technology....
as of 2019 his website is dead . cant find any videos of his either ,
People always forget about human ingenuity.
For example when we are trying to figure out how the ancients built the pyramids, there are a few dozens trying to figure it out, most of them from behind a desk.
It is VERY different from thousands of ancient engineers trying to figure it out for centuries, actually building smaller prototypes, and getting way more funding for it than today.
I would bet they had a lot more tricks which they didn’t write down.
So no alians or magic, its just human ingenuity and physics's that make sense 😮.
He didn’t figure nothing out here , the granite stone is in Aswan it’s like 700 Miles away from Egypt, figure that out

@Bill Todd
There’s nothing lost or mysterious about these technologies. 100 years earlier a guy from Latvia built a castle in Florida all by himself using the same techniques. He developed some of them as an engineer. I’m not taking away anything from Wally, because without gumption and motivation nothing would ever get done. But he’s just building on techniques that he’s learned and used that were already around. And he himself is very educated through the practical application of these ideas.
There’s no mystery here except why a retired guy in his 50s would take up such an odd hobby. I think it’s awesome.
It sounds like you’re trying to compensate for insecurities about lack of education. And you act like engineers and mathematicians don’t have experience. Some of them are among the most experienced people on earth. These disciplines can be simplistically divided into practical and theoretical. But even theoretical scientists have massive amounts of experience.
Before formalized mathematics and science, people figured out how to do stuff. They did it by trial and error, which is just another form of science. It’s called experimentation. Which is in itself education.
My freshman physics professor show me all of these things. Just because you weren't paying attention doesn't mean others weren't

Technically...most of this "forgotten technology" is actually still being used today. That's why we have very very nice things like vehicles, buildings, bridges etc etc
People often ask "How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?" but I figure they just started from the bottom and worked their way up.
As an infant from Senegal who once moved a stone before I ask let's take a moment to appreciate the some finer point of the video that most people don't appreciate and then in another ten years we'll all go algorithm wow together
Wait, are you telling me that people who understand basic physics can move loads greater than modern people think?
Why do people keep asking about transporting? In the beginning it shows him push a 300 pound block across those saw tooth looking things. Uses it on weight to move forward. All he needs to do is scale it up people.
Still a bit of a mass difference....everybody trying to come up with their own methods but not one of them use a block almost identical to the ones at the pyramids. It's like crash testing a car chassis using the real thing and the toy - we all know the real one will crumble but the toy remains mostly intact.
@@JustAnOrdinarySimmer You can use that tool he made for rotating the blocks to flip them end over end, since it provides a bunch of leverage. You can also rotate the stone back and forth on alternating pivot points, kind of like you would with moving a very heavy piece of furniture... where you tilt it back on its corners to shift into place.
The majority of the Pyramid blocks are ACTUALLY the size of the stone he's rotating (the medium sized one, not the huge slab), roughly one cubic yard.
It's the huge ones that don't make sense say at like 1,000 tons wouldnt the weight of the stone just crush the wood?
The heaviest block in the pyramids weighs from 25 to 80 tons @@Rork333
Honestly, it's probably more efficient to make a wheel encasement around the block so that it can be rolled on flat ground. Really depends on how many stone need to be moved. If it's thousands of stones, then building the rounded sawtooth rails is probably more efficient. Then if you multiply the amount of laborers, this idea isn't insane.
Ya this guy definitely figured out how ancient people moved Heavy things like they use to...Great job🤓
Yes, he did. Have you got a problem with that?
I mean he literally did, there's a video of him moving heavy stones right there

What people don't realise is that he built a time machine, and used it to go back in time. He then built Stonehenge all by himself.
Let me ask you how did you cut the stones and make it smooth? Also I still didin't see how they fit extremely perfect.
Oh!.. El ingenio preindustrial.
Gracias por compartirlo.
Who woulda thought! Basic physics and manpower gets shit done.
These technologies are not forgotten, they are just not required anymore now that we have heavy machinery that can do the job a lot faster. Sure, the average person may not know about them, but the average person didn't know about them 1000, 2000 or 4000 years ago either. Architects and construction works were the ones who had to know that.
Nice to see what alien technology looks like up close!
What planet do you think he was from?
Perfect example of the difference between technology and technique.
Where's the video of the giant slab being placed on top of the mechanism that allowed it to be spun by hand? Or the smaller blocks being placed on the slab?
Very healthy skepticism but it's no stretch of the imagination to conclude that he used a rope and pulley like with the stone at the start of the video.
Amazing. One part of the puzzle came together. I'd like to know how transport was done and various other details.
One detail I heard about was the people at that time used the pyramids as a way to live ...Each group of people were like we are today they each had there own jobs in the building right down to the tool makers and cooks...It was a civilization that drew people from far places to trade goods etc....I can't remember the show probably how they built the pyramids 😝🤣😳😳🤓🤓Surf around TH-cam I will try to find that show and get back to ya...Remember these people worked long hours back in them days.

Yeah like cutting granite blocks with copper and actually getting the granite blocks for the chamber up that high inside the pyramid, pyramids weren't tombs hence the valley of the kings grave site
@@1catmilkdrinker you can split granite with copper, and the cutting is done by pushing a slurry of wet sand that contains many minerals harder than granite.

the dont place sand or loose soil underneath? make giant clay slabs along the way?
0.20 Should give you a hint . . or makes you ask even more questions -> that why it's called Forgotten Technology.
This is very good practical demonstration of how it could have been done. Two questions remain thou: the transport of megaliths between 100 to over 1000 tons, over hundreds of Kms, and the precision cutting of hard igneous rock, up to 0.0000x" tolerances.
