Separate names with a comma.
I've read all through that and it tells me nothing more than I already knew. Nowhere is it mentioned how they lifted the blocks out of the ground...
Rather than insult me, tell me. Go on.
No.
How do you lift it onto the wheels?
And the award for pointless post goes to...
And what kind of lever and fulcrum do you use, bearing in mind they didn't have the luxury of metal?
I like the dragging-the-block-up-a-hill idea, but I'm not convinced. To drag a 200 ton block up a hill you'd need at least 4 or 500 men, so that...
They'd piss it in MDF though:upyeah:
None of that explains how they lifted them. If you've ever seen a bunch of builders trying to lift a half ton RSJ into a building you'd appreciate...
Tomorrow is International Kick a Traffic Warden Day. Go to it lads...
I reckon a lot of these monuments aren't quite as old as we're told. Add the use of metals into the mix and the job becomes a whole lot easier....
That's enough though, isn't it..?
I'm not even remotely interested in alien conspiracies, astrological bollocks, ley lines or any of that claptrap. But I can't see how the people...
The bit where you ride away from the tyre centre and realise just how crap your old tyres had become...
They hadn't stumbled across the iron age (not my opinion, just what I've read and watched), so bronze it was. Hardly a match for granite. And I...
No boats in them days...
As far as I'm aware the dynastic Egyptians hadn't been introduced to metal as such, so these pulleys and levers would have to have been made of...
Rose granite (or red aswan granite) as used in the great pyramid is more than 20% quartz, so you'd have to have a bastard hard rock to rub against...
Ooh, I'd love a go in an Oekemobil:upyeah:
Concrete's easy though, you just make a former and pour the gloop in. Lifting a 200 ton block out of a pit is a whole different kettle of fish.
