Ok guys looks like we have two camps...the elbow grease guys like myself,and the alien/superbeing camp like all the rest of you weak minded pot smokers:tongue:
How much elbow grease do you need to lift a 50 ton boulder and carry it up a hill?

Dave imagine you in your lifting prime now multiply that be 10,000 or 100,000...add some rope and tree trunks for lever arms...there is your answer.
You forgot the third camp. The ones that believe that unicorns are responsible for it all.
Back in ancient times (5,000+ years ago) there were no special tools to build these magnificent structures. So the question is how did they obtain the technology to do it, which makes me believe some type of extraterrestrial technology was introduced to them.
Ever heard of a thing called chisel? Rock grind against rock to produce a similar effect as sand paper? Ropes?
There are giant structures from all over the world produced since recorded biblical era. Do you think the giant temples, port of Alexandria, the pyramid of Egypt and Latin America, the great walls of China, Stonehenge are all alien made?
That alone gives me a hint that we actually know how to put things together ever before the industrial revolution.
Ever seen that one History Channel about the first emperor of China with a possible pyramid as his tomb with running mercury river protected by his terra-cotta army? Something that was created more than 3500 years ago?
I'm a true believer of lost civilization with technologies rivals that of today. Imagine F40 vs. Enzo. Both are similar in speed, but created with a much different philosophy and technology.
Don't discount human engineering abilities of the past just because we have air planes and cars.
Well said!! It's almost like we think we created fire for the first time only 500 years ago or something. We have been around ALONG time. Like I say there may have been an Einstein 3000yrs ago but you can't build a telescope if you can't make the glass.
Explain to me how these 100+ ton stones were moved then? Its not a matter of sheer man power or using ropes and pulleys.... how was it done?
In Tiwanaku Bolivia, the altitude is so high that you can not grow food... so you can not feed a labor force that large to move stones that are upwards of 100-200 TONS...
We would have to use several of our largest cranes to move these... what do you guys not understand about this? The precision of these buildings is something that's constantly over looked as well.

This link describes how to move stones across a flat surface...sure that might be pretty easy. but pulling it up large inclines?
Educate yourself. With primitive tools its nearly * Impossible* to move even a 9 ton block of stone let alone ONE HUNDRED TONS!

I think it is a valid comparison. Regardless of what you believe or don't beleive. As long as we debate intelligently, it's all good.
Please don't let this thread disintegrate into a religious debate because irrespective of whether you believe aliens and/or Jesus exist, rest assured that moderators definitely exist.......

thats it....moderators built the pyramids!!!!!!!!:tongue:
Well, I'll give your he benefit of the doubt and will keep my eyes open for aliens :wink:
Ummmm......on history channel or discovery channel they proved that yes..one MAN can move almost anything. A man can move a 10ton or 100ton heavy square stone on nothing more than another small(size of golf ball) to rotate etc. With levers and proper thinking he was able to upright stones. One man could have built Stone Henge. I am not going to go out of my way to find the vids, but it is out there. This was LIVE and within the last couple years, no animation , or guys with big hair guessing, they showed a guy of average build doing this. Don't get me wrong, there are still great mysteries out there; like the one where the stones used to build pyramids in Peru have a '+' sign carved into it perfectly, something that you would need a modern day waterjet machine to make.
The guy who did that was Wally Wallington. Basically he built Stone Henge by himself using primitive tools.
