funny. when I don't have a good rebuttal I usually don't go the ridicule route, but ok.

Whether they had help or not, I donā€™t think they stood around like children waiting for mom to finish cutting the crust off their PB&J. They built these wonders with their own hands and by the sweat of their brows.

Weā€™re talking about ancient civilizations with a more advanced tech base than academia gives them credit for and we canā€™t wrap our minds around the idea they could make the tools needed for stone cutting?

Again, funny. more ridicule. ha ha.

Yes of fucking course they had a technology, and in my opinion, was something much different than what we have available now. maybe it was from a far older civilization that went a different route tech-wise. Personally I think it was something to do with sound. But maybe not. IDK is the point


The whole point of this thread is to have fun speculating about weird shit. I don't have all the answers. Smarter people than me don't either.
But if you're trying to tell me these were made by simply chiseling I'm calling bullshit

Chisels

Not chisels

@Ddays, not ridiculing you or your ideas, just trying to inject some humor.

Iā€™m not saying they only used chisels. That would be as absurd as claiming you can install a lift kit with just a hammer.

lol, Sarcasm was not detected and I 100% accept push-back - especially when posting on these topics - it's to be expected and welcomed.

So if not simple chisels, how the hell do you make these stones interlock this way and smooth them so uniformly?
 
I would love be able to pull a couple of these apart and see the mating surfaces. Are they perfectly fitting the entire mating surface or just the front side. It would also be cool to do some testing to see if there is any residual metal on the stone or maybe residue from another type of stone or abrasive. Does the back of this wall fit as well as the front? Pretty cool for sure.

In some places it carries through on all sides & others it's just the front. Here's a wall that came apart some because of settling and a couple others showing multiple sides fitted this close.

Another question is why would you make fitting these huge stones together this difficult? However they did it, it had to have been a mofo to get it right. And there are no "mistake" rocks that they've found either. So to get this many of these multi-sides stones cut with no mistakes is incredible in of itself.

Strange that they could cut them so perfectly and didn't opt to make them square as if making them symmetrical was harder than making them nest together perfectly. Maybe they used an abrasive material between the stones to "lap" them together.

If they were small stones or bricks I'd agree this is likely how they did it, but some of these are like 20 tons apiece. How do you manipulate that size of a rock? I thought maybe if they could pre-fab off site like they do with some of the really high end log homes, but where do you do that and then transport to the top of a mountain? The blocks were cut from a quarry on-site so even if possible that's out. IDK. The uniform finish on the faces looks so much like they were pre-fabbed or molded somehow, but again, no two are alike so that doesn't really wash either....

Lol, that was the first post on this thread. Did you finish it? She dropped a bunch of bombs on that podcast. Taken as a standalone show she sounds kookier that shit. But taken in with the thousands of other podcasts out there on so much other off the wall shit, not all of these people are nuts.

I did not watch the entirety of the two hour one posted. Sorry. I just stumbled on this one today. Didnā€™t realize it had already been discussed.
Iā€™m not sure she sounds crazy, just has an issue with sentence formation.

hmm... propeller beanie, holding his finger like he just smashed it, he knows.

IMO, people had a lot of time and they watched the forces of nature, how it changed and could do what seemed to be the impossible including changing and breaking apart granite (thru natural cracks etc...)

I think the reason the tools to create things like this are nowhere to be found is because they were made of biodegradable materials - wood, water, sand, music(vibrations/pitch?), possible vine plants that have since forever died off.

Also noticed some of the stones had what looked like drill holes on the ends.

I think historians and science do not give enough credit to the intellect of the past, they made some amazing things,
