Been all in on ancient Egypt stuff lately, some of this stuff is insane. There are stones so big in structures that we couldn't move them today. The largest stone we've moved in modern times required a giant custom built truck moving at 4mph and this stone is a 1/3rd the size of stones inside of Egyptian structures, and there are multiple of this size.

Other ancient cultures have the same giant stones. They clearly either had “help,” or were more advanced with physics technology than we are

And we just pretend like we are more advanced

Bear in mind that despite being up high, they probably didn't just lift them straight up in the air. Probably more inclined planes than pulleys.

I've been all over this stuff for a while, it's a huge rabbit hole. I'm glad more are taking interest.. some worthy stuff to check: very weird relations on ancient sites all over the world:

 the BAM series starts with old sites then focuses on the Barabar Caves in India which are IMO the most incredible structures found to date: BAM 1 BAM 2 this guy interviews most of the people on the space if you want this format: https://www.youtube.com/@MattBeallLimitless

The largest stones I moved were half ton corner through stones. They took three of us and a couple of wooden hoists to get into place without machinery. That gives me some idea of how they moved their 2-5 ton boulders. No idea about their 80 ton blocks though.

Yeah, it feels like we're on the brink of discovering some insane revelation about the history of mankind. Hearing about the labyrinths underneath egypt still has me shook.

It’s a great rabbit hole, the labryrinth stuff and the deep under ground structures are mind blowing.

Sometimes the greatest mysteries aren’t about how they did it, but why. What were they trying to tell us that we still can’t hear?

you can do it with copper + sand/friction. there was a youtube video of someone replicating it. the stone pots are the weirdest thing though. I don't know if there is a good explanation of that.
