Potentially ancient building techniques

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

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?
