  • 0:49 is a mover stone used for moving big stones. Put long ropes through the holes & tie knot where it exits at the side hole. Rope extends to both sides. lace two or three of these parallel depending on the size of the stone you want to move. Place a pathway of dowels beneath the stones, the dowels placed crosswise across thedirection of path. Hoist the stone you want to move on top of the three mover stones. Put a team of ppl on each rope. Now you can pull the stone in either direction.

  • @MoreBaccarat Interesting thoughts.

  • Why would you propose that these people had spare time? And what compound would be local that could cut through basalt stone?

  • @brienfoerster a drill... they could have hooked up large animals to a turning mechanism (motor) which turned gears, rods and \ or pullies that they hooked drills too... just like old woodworking shops used a water wheel to run all the equipment using rods, pullies and leather straps...

  • @jbkibs Highly unlikely.

  • Exactly; glad you noticed that.

  • Where were you when you filmed this?

  • Have they ever tested those holes or stiches / hinge type areas for metals or acids? looks like they definately knew how to melt and mold metals at that time, and even if they had made some sort of drill bit, anyone who drills in construction or mechanics knows even with the best bit it takes some time on certain surfaces to even go through to make a hole let alone through deep rock, usually to make it easier you drill a smaller hole first then drill again with a bigger bit to make it easier

  • @M0b1u5 that's what i think of it ancient doesn't mean their stupid

  • What is so dramatic about a hole in stone? Most forget how much spare time these people had, and don;t appreciate how smart they were, nor how ingenious and methodical.

    These holes simply demonstrate the ancient people were highly inventive and were capable of creating simple machines that would allow them to bore holes. This isn't rocket surgery people!
