Tell us how you think they did it and why we can't?

[prissylovejoy]

One problem is we somehow think people were dumb back then.

[Orphanlast]

I'm a stone mason. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to get tight joints? This isn't quite a lost art. There are people that know how to do this sort of thing. I could do this... If you have a hammer and a chisel, you can do that. With all our technology, we can still do it.

The issue is, will anyone pay for it.

[emptydata-xfps]

1. they had all day to make things. Now we sit at desks pushing keys. 2. They didn’t use power tools, they used a chemical process (pyrite and certain plant matter, creating sulfuric acid) which combine with the weight of stones nicely ate away the correct face to fit the stones together. It’s been documented in scientific journals but that wouldn’t be as click baity.

Imagine a society where they focused their strongest minds on technology that wasn’t ment to kill each other

[zachary]

As my history professor once pointed out: imagine millions of people sitting around with very little to distract them or entertain them for tens of thousands of years... eventually the mind will work out some very complicated solutions like breeding tastier plants, mapping the stars, inventing math, and yes even:carve and move big stone.

Was expecting miniminuteman to appear at any second 😂

For the same reason a Japanese carpenter with hand tools and 40 years of experience can build stuff with precision youd struggle to get with modern tools. Time, effort, and attention to detail equals amazing results

[atlas]

Individual people spent a full lifetime to work a single stone. We try to do the same in 1 week, our expectations are unreasonable.
(Edit) not all who participate in work get to see a finished product. Again, learn about the heads of Easter Isle)

[Blvcjac]

The problem is believing humans made it.

[pablodiablo]

If you weren't staring at a screen 4-8 hours a day, do you think our energy might manifest in spectacular ways?

[Alphaspecs]

In ancient times, generations of people dedicated their entire lives and families to stonework.
Spend 6 months with the maximum number of artisans possible and infinite funding at their disposal, they'll get the block perfect or they will be potentially killed.
Slavery built just about everything around the world.
Some speculate that these structures are much older than a few centuries old.
Others speculate, that technology of a different orientation was accessible at that time.
Certainly, people were able to test the capabilities of massive numbers of slaves.
Countless human lives were used as fuel to build colossal ancient structures.
Never underestimate the enginuity of artisans whose skillsets were built off centuries of apprenticeships and descendants.

[JohnnyKray]

The answer is simple. The ancient people didn't cut the rock, they poured and molded them in place. That's why there's no gaps between them.

[CountJeffula]

Three reasons they were able to do it. Zero social media, illiteracy, and slavery.

[reapzvanreapz]

We can perfectly replicate it with ease, it’s grinded stones not a space program.

[Litch]

Weathering/erosion will smooth anything out on the outside. On the inside it would take time but chiseling is how they did it. Chiseling can be much more accurate than any powered tool.

[parisrose]

rub two surfaces together long enough they will begin to match perfectly. hard but simple.

[kkodalton]

The material was wet and packed up then it dried and the bags eventually rotted away. The lumps on the rocks are where the knots in the bags were. Trust me. The super precise cuts were made with a knife.

[danielbarnes]

I can tell you how this become, not made to be, one simple thing happened here to make them that tight and well fitted, water between the rocks over time molding them together and gravity.

[TAR_HD]

the problem is not that we are at a large scale and our modern technologies aren't as accurate. The difference is time and labor, you see these people in the video using machines to make our modern reproductions in a few days or even 1 day depending on the project. The problem is that you aren't thinking of the level of precision and time that went into these older projects using stone. you could probably make an imperfect recreation in a few days with our current tools, but if you used older tools such as dolorite hammers, pounding and shaping balls, and specifically made chisels, and you spent literally generations creating these things they would in fact be as "perfect" as you say they are. Which they actually aren't, these things are literally thousands of years old we just changed the scale of time in which these things need to be done in, IE you cannot have the same level of dedication go into making these projects.
