How An Ancient Civilisation Moved the World's Biggest Stones

Discover the secrets of the Trilithons of Baalbek, the massive stone structures in Lebanon that have puzzled experts for centuries. In this video, we explore the conventional theories of transportation and placement, as well as the more unconventional theories of levitation and sound waves. Learn about the architectural and engineering feats of constructing the Trilithons and the potential use as an astronomical observatory. Join us on this journey to uncover the mysteries of the Trilithons and the advanced technology of the ancient peoples.

You've convinced me with drops of water, now show me a 100T block of stone.

[TheGrouchMan]

So the ancients could move blocks weighing 1, 800 tons by acoustic levitation with no visible (certainly no remaining evidence) instrumentation, yet with all our modern knowhow we can only suspend water droplets or items the size of peas? Ok.

[meclifesmiley]

Drop of water? Do that with a thousand lbs rock and move it 12 miles up and across the grand canyon. Water drops in a lab is different the thousand lbs rocks moved across the terrain and then set.

As a builder of musical instruments who understands a fair amount of the science of sound, I'm afraid to tell you that "acoustic levitation" as an explanation for moving stones of this size is just nonsense. You don't get something for nothing, and it takes a certain amount of energy to lift a 1000 ton stone, whether it's in the form of human muscle, machine, or acoustic levitation. And acoustic levitation, even of water droplets, is very inefficient- it requires far less energy to just lift them.

This reminds me of the curious conspiracy theory that jets don't burn fuel, but just run on compressed air. Similar complete disregard for the way things work in the real world.

I saw a videoa while back where a sixty something year old man raised an obylisk using a pile of 2x4s and several buckets of sand. Leverage and patience. My wife and I used to load beams on to a flat bed trailer with a crowbar each. People would ask " whens the loader get here"? An hour later we'd be loaded and on our way. Just because you can't do it or imagine how it's possible doesn't mean it can't be done.

Hiw do you find the resonant frequency of a large rock / object?

I understand the principles. We used it at work in my lab regularly, (every day, more than once a day).
We were vibrating concrete in moulds, to dispel air voids prior to eventual compressive strength testing.
The cube moulds full of concrete could be moved by a feather when they were vibrating.
Many, (hundreds, if not thousands), of civil engineering materials technicians will know this.

I have to laugh that NO ONE knows how they moved stones that large. Or how they placed large stones in the pyramids, at ancient sites or carved them so accurately. All science can do today is take pictures and 'best guess'. We are so arrogant.

[BornAgainCynic]

How much energy is used to levitate that water? Now, 1000 tons...? Plus the water levitation machine is static, does not move. The ancient Romans moved (4, 700 kilometers.) and raised a 413 ton stone to a vertical position, using ropes and pullies etc,

[standingbear]

wooden rollers could not do this. the wood would start to crack and crush under that weight plus make depressions in the ground so they would not roll. To pull this weight with hand made rope from plant fibers would result in a rope so large in diameter it could not be grasp to pull on. also would be very heavy on it's own. pulling these up a dirt or sand ramp is just ridiculous, to have a rope hundreds of yards long with a thousand slaves pulling would mean the ramp would have to go hundreds of yards past where you wanted the stone to end up. just not feasible.

Tracker Beam anti Gravity from Star Trek, of course.

[crystalmystic]

They weren’t moved.. they were poured, geopolymers my dude. We lost that technology to some kind of group that knows a lot about masonry.. Freemasons perhaps..

[johnenockson]

Roman carvings demonstrate the cranes and pullies used to move this material. Trying to do this with a large Bose wave machine is the folly of the narrator.

[richardautenzio]

Yes but how did they move the worlds biggest stone? You haven't explained how yet, and you gave the impression you knew how.😊

[curiosity]

Well that was a whole lot of nothing. 😁

[cloudwalker]

If it could lift a thousand ton rock it would be a game changer

[infinit]

@ D Doherty, yes that's thought came to my mind also.We human sometimes just jump into conclusions which are practically not possible anyway.

[tomgunn]

The sons of God revealed secret knowledge to the sons of men.

[stuartgraca]

Demonstrating three small globules of static water being levitated by sound waves cannot explain how you would do the same with a one thousand ton stone lintel and be able to keep this levitation going over an uneven surface and a long distance. It as to be more than a magic trick .

[ddoherty]

I hear Ball bag every time he says it 🤭🤭🤭

[leonardofalcolini]

have you ever heard of the Anunnaki???
