That is one of the most impressive things. Being a woodworker I can appreciate the difficulty of the perfectly routed grooves and holes drilled at perfect intervals, even with today's power tools and carbide cutters. Even more difficult/impossible in stone, as one stone worker they had on said.
Another site was more impressive still. The giant blocks of stone (in Babylon?) They have no machines that could lift them even today. They form a temple and had to be lifted and stacked 30 feet in the air. No rope would have been strong enough to pull them up a ramp let alone lift them.Yes it really forces you to reconsider history doesn't? I mean...forget school text books, they lie! Saying that the pyramids were built by making a ramp and then rolling the tons-heavy bricks over logs...the show said even today we likely don't have the equipment to lift such bricks...but since they (scholars who make the text books) need to give an explanation...they come up with some dumb idea that pertains only to man becasue anything else is too absurd to them, then what they come up with is taught in schools as if fact.
