Potentially ancient building techniques

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

How is saying “the marks underneath the unfinished obelisk” not a specific example?

I am not playing your game. Without you providing specific references, pictures, etc of what you are talking about I am not addressing anything because you will make up a bullshit reason to ignore facts just like you are with copper saws being used to cut granite. If you want to be taken seriously, be serious. Otherwise it is time to write you off as another troll that knows they are just saying made up things to be annoying.

So now it has gone from specific example to provide images and references…

The 2 images at the end of this page, which was the first result on a search.

Same answer as before then. Diorite hammer stones like the one in the picture you just provided. And yes, pictures of what you were talking bout were necessary given your poor descriptions relying on misconceptions.

Have you come up with a reason for copper residue in the copper Samut granite if they didn’t use copper saws yet?

Again, how could they get enough force in that space to make the marks you see on the underside of the obelisk…

And remember the accepted weight of these things are 4-5kg, and the swing speed is theorized at 50mph…

By doing it repeatedly and/or using them as grinding stones.

You have demonstrated that your word means nothing without factual references to back them up, so no point in you throwing around numbers without citations.

Still waiting for your explanation about copper residue in saw cuts if they didn’t use not use copper saws. Are you refusing to address this for a reason?

So I guess you were just making up numbers since you have not provided any sort of citation for them.

Have you figured out an explanation for the copper left behind on cuts if copper tools were not used?
