I’ve often wanted to hear a stonemason’s or bricklayer’s opinion on some of the stonework down in Peru. They are made out of huge blocks of granite or something equally hard, no two blocks the same shape, some up to 12 sides, several feet thick, and fit with almost perfect precision. I mean where do you even start a course?? It’s really crazy.
A lot of the stuff in Egypt shows clear evidence of circular saw marks, and core drills, neither of which they were supposed to have. One of the famous 19th century Archeologists, Flinders Petrie (jes’ a good ole boy, you can tell) who discovered some cores estimated the core drills had a feed rate of approximately 1mm per revolution into rose granite. This is impressive by any measure. The large square granite boxes and such weighing from 30 to 100 to tons, many cut from a single piece of stone, with inside 90° cuts and very precise angles when measured modern carpenter tools.
One thing is for sure, they didn’t make all that stuff with coller chisels. The problem is, since modern archaeologists don’t have answers, they don’t talk about it.
Since they don’t talk about it, all the nutjobs do. So there’s really only two competing narratives. Illiterate peasants with copper chisels, or, it was done by outer space aliens from Retucula Zenorh or whatever.
Ever been to Retucula Zenorh? It is a little hot during the summer due to global warming.
They’re made of fairly soft volcanic stone formed naturally from compressed ash.
Some North American Indians routinely made elaborate atlatl weights from hard porphery, granite, etc and softer slate by simple pecking and they drilled holes in them using grit and river cane.
“From outer space” doesn’t immediately require little green men. Genesis chapter 6 says that fallen angels mated with human females, and their progeny were giant monstrosities up to 20 ft. tall. These not only had superhuman strength, but they had supernatural (fallen) angelic intelligence and wisdom; to cut and fit stonework supernaturally, and to transport ginormous stones great distances, probably by teleportation and other superhuman means.
