Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 6GUNZ:
If the Nile flooded the foundations that would pretty much make it impossible to build anything there. Every year, your building site would be covered in water for months at a time, then when the waters receded they would leave a layer of silt that would have to be cleared away. And by the time you got the site ready to build again, it would almost be time for another flood. And that's to say nothing of actually trying to use the finished structure when it's foundations are underwater for months out of the year. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By waterglass: I think the entire complex was designed from the outset to be flooded artificially once completed and that they kept water there all year around. I think the three pyramids and a series of other structures were there for some pragmatic purpose and the causeways and shafts in the plateau were some kind of hydraulic system. |

It was great craftsmen of the age that built them. This may come as a shock  but the only thing that really separates us from the ancient humans is our technological advancement. Very smart and skilled humans existed back then.

Quote HistoryGood article. I like out of place artifacts since they make no sense.
I don't know where they get the sources for things earlier than written history though, just accepted as fact in general? The dating was done using thermoluminescence, a technique that determines how long ago crystalline mineral was exposed to sunlight or heated. Humans are only thought to have inhabited the region for the past 30,000 years. Even within the known history of the area, the only humans to inhabit the region were nomads whose lifestyle would not leave any such structures behind. They say only nomads that left no structures behind lived there, in the same paragraph as stating the pyramids and pipes to the lake are 150k years old. I know dating is off, but by how far? The spark plug geode is an odd example, to have the markings exact but be from a modern time and embedded in rock. I don't know how a pyramid with plumbing would have naturally formed. |

on an unrelated note you may remember I posted the huge pre greek polygonal walls in Italy. I think these ones in Japan are very similar. The technology in Japan also goes back into prehistory. The function is the same. They are earth quake proof. Note I do not vouch for the narration, but the video does a good job of showing scale and the polygonal features of the walls.

Going by the normal fare, the only large block structures from pre-history are the Pyramids and Stonehenge. Even more on those carved caves in India isn't easy to locate beyond photos here and there. Most all the photos usually have a sort of aliens or other mysterious power theory packaged with them, but it's easy enough to discard that wrapper by hitting mute or just ignoring the commentary beyond location. |

I noticed some of those weird little nodes on the Japanese stones. I would just love to know what those were for. Doesn't make any sense that they were used for lifting, but they must have had some purpose. The really strange thing is that they didn't shave them off after they were done for a clean look. Suggests their purpose was ongoing and not just for construction. Maybe they act as a male socket to reset the stones in case they move during a quake. Or maybe they were used as a way to measure the angle of the wall somehow I dunno |

It was the best way to learn things not covered in general knowledge books 40 years ago.

He will be putting out higher quality video in a few weeks. There is tool marks in Lebanon and Jordan that I think you will be able to identify maybe. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By headstoner:
You don't really need any tension other than what is needed to keep the cable tracking where you want it , the weight of the cable (today's cables) is plenty to cut granite. Speed isn't really a factor that determines ability to cut, only the speed of the cutting but that would also depend on what the "cable" is made of and what is used for the abrasive and how it may or may not be attached to the cable.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By waterglass: If you could see the cut marks would it give you an idea of the speed of the cable? The Romans had the basics of a steam engines, but there is no proof they ever used them. Here's a fairly simple saw being used to cut a stone, you can see there is no need for much tension other than enough to provide a true tracking line and it is running pretty fast with close diamond segments so tool marks would be minimun ( a lot of times the marks come from inconsistency in the cutting, vibrations, jerking motions, disc saws wobbling, and uneven segments)  Cutting basalt, marble, granite with a DIY wire saw made of a vehicle hoist Even without the use of engines, proper gearing could provide more speed at the work than what is needed to drive the saw. Think large pulley small pulley. |
