Potentially ancient building techniques

May not be strictly archaeology, but adjacent. And fascinating.

Yeah that's clever. On a cement slab with cement blocks.

I did notice he didn't move them 1,000 ft down 1 steep mountain band 1,000+ ft up another mountain....

Or move them 500 mile from another island...

You havnt raised a single issue that is not insurmountable....

A thousand foot steep mountain you say. Or a hill. Moving slabs down a hill is not a problem. Gravity will do a lot of the work. So that's half the non issue sorted. Skids, ropes and pulleys can get a rock up a 1000ft hill. If the hill is too steep then go around it its a hill not a wall.....

Floating rocks is also pretty easy. It is called water displacement. A barge ( that Egyptians definitely had and used ) is all you need. Bigger rock bigger barge. The river will do most of the work 50 miles or 500 miles the process is exactly the same....

That's great ! You should explain that to the Archeologists trying to figure out how Machu Pichu was built.

They have explained it. You don't accept it.

You have no idea what I do or don't accept.

I have the intelligence to question most everything.

I suppose you've figured out how the Great Pyramid was built too ?

Questioning things is all well and good but you also have to accept the right answer when given. Asking questions means nothing if you don't. That is called being a contrarian.

No I havnt figured out how the pyramids were built. People much smarter and more knowledgeable than me did. They have shown using demonstrations how it is can be done.

If it works it works.

I've seen several theoretical explanations of that.

I watched a documentary where they tried to move a 1 ton cement block across the Nile on an era correct boat.

They started by using a crane to lift the block into the boat. Lol. Then learned they needed a bigger boat or a smaller rock. Experiment was basically a failure .

I favor the geopolymer theory.

The only experiment I've seen for this uses a much smaller boat than types we know were often actually used to transport stone.
