n the northern region of ancient Egypt, a large obelisk has been found, which is said to be the biggest ever discovered. The stone quarries in Aswan house, which is an unfinished obelisk, has mad scientists pull their hair out and cause a permanent denial for historians. A discovery like this is likely to split the academic community in two. Archaeologists are now arguing that the female pharaoh who where also known Hatshepsut, did actually sanction its construction. Of course, modern engineers, who are clearly in massive opposition, say that the Dynastic Egyptians did not have the type of technology capable of building such a structure.“It is nearly one third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected. If finished it would have measured around 42 m (approximately 137 feet) and would have weighed nearly 1,200 tons. Aside from the problem of shaping it, how were they presuming to lift it out of the quarry?” Seethed Brien Foerester, one of the world’s most recognised experts on the subject.
It is possible that Romans and Greeks also created fractures in the stone, which in theory, was done by inserting wooden wedges The conventional academic community had suggested that the obelisk shape was forged with diorite stones. Brien Foerester was very quick to shake down these misguided allegations, noting that the diorite had a hardness of 6 to 7 9 (The diamond is 10), so it matches the same hardness as granite. This technique would have proved very unproductive and quite possibly, well, impossible.It is possible that Romans and Greeks also created fractures in the stone, which in theory, was done by inserting wooden wedges and then soaking the wood in water. It would then swell, producing a crack along the line. Many conspiracy and members of the UFO community are suggesting that this could be the work of the Nephilim. We at Neon Nettle are totally on the fence with this one, what do you think?
Say what????
Cue the Ancient Aliens guy.
It’s unlikely from the Nephilim. It may be antediluvian, but it is of human origin.
Have they ruled out the possibility that ice age glaciers carved them?
I’m not gonna finish reading it, because doing so would lower my IQ by a few points. Horrible grammar.
One technique was to use saws which were nothing more than implements to rub sand across until a groove was made.
They then inserted wooden wedges then poured water over them until they expanded, cracking the stone in a straight line.
If some think it’s of alien origin— how did they bring it here in their spaceship and why?
Here's a thought, maybe that's why it was never completed. Maybe after putting so much work into it someone said to the Stonemason "Well it is lovely and all, but just how the F*** do you plan to get it out of here"?
Is this the one they call the old woman, old maid, etc.?
The Baalbek stone is at least 1200 tons and others near it are in the 1000-ton class.
/fyi
To screw with the locals later on.
>>> Of course, modern engineers, who are clearly in massive opposition, say that the Dynastic Egyptians did not have the type of technology capable of building such a structure
The folly of modernity...that somehow, the current generation has cornered the market on intellect and ability.
If it is the one I am thinking of, it cracked when it was maybe 80% completed.
Nothing they could do but abandon it and all that work.
You dare insult the genius of Anonymous Mags himself??
You shall face the wrath of Mags.

And that proves conclusively that it wasn't the work of aliens, who would have simply gotten out their industrial size kit of "5 Second Fix" to repair the damage.
Yeah, definitely “Say What?!” And when does it become news to post absolutely horribly written utter bullshit articles in the first place? This isn’t Facebook.

So, if not humans, who did make it? Australopithecines? Vervet monkeys?
