The crane made it much easier as well.

Explain this.

The Romans didn't make it to Peru, but just generally.. lots of hard work and skilled stone masons. Or ya know, aliens, plant juice or whatever other conspiracy theory you want to pick.

ok but where did they get the crane 3000 years ago as depicted at the very end of the video?

That's how I moved your mom

And how did they do that triangle hole?

This isn’t the problem needing solved Klara

What kind of hoist did they use ?

How did they make the indentions in the stone so perfectly? Who made this video and why?

So this device levitates heavy blocks? 🤔

That wouldn’t work. The stone would crack and crumble as soon as you began to lift it right around the area, where you have installed that hook.

What the hell? Klara actually giving us an informative video with no trolling? Not sure whether to be impressed or disappointed.

With a Crane! Why didn't I think of that?

I'm pretty sure that Romans didn't have machine shackles

Out of frame: pile of slaves pulling the rope

Excellent visualization

You're stupid. We've already established that they turned the rock into liquid and made it levitate onto the correct placements. Get with the times.

Cool. How did they hoist these rocks up to the top of the pyramids?

We still use these. Especially, on bridge construction, highway, and retaining walls.

The accounts of slaves building everything doesn't track, it was difficult enough to get them to pick cotton even with a whip.

Really?….and they lifted them into place with their circa BCE hydraulic crane??

@Cipher_hpos10i can Sprotos move more blocks than the Romans?

Now do the hundred other ancient civilizations all over the world that, all at the same time, decided moving 50ton+ blocks made more sense than building with wood.

they used hydraulics to control the levers, as well

I mean.....

And then they used their cranes to lift it too

Where'd they get the steel braided cable and hook? Plus a several stories frame to do the lifting?

But how do you get that shape in the rock in the first place ?

How did they make a triangle cut inside the stone?

And how did the Romans lift the blocks ??? With a crane ??

"da triangle goes in triangle and cube go up" -Romans

How did the blocks not crack from where the anchor was in the stone?
