How the Ancients Cut Stone with Sound Waves
Ancient Architects ^ | 12/20/2017 | Arthur Keely

Posted on 12/27/2019 5:42:49 PM PST by wildbill

How did the #Ancient Civilisations cut and shape such intricate stonework like we see in #Ancient Egypt? How were holes seemingly drilled through solid granite? How did the #Incas create walls with perfectly connecting blocks of stone? Did they use traditional tools? Did they harness the power of the sun as I explained in a previous video? Or did they know the secrets of sound and this was a form of ancient high technology?

If you could use sound waves to cut stone you’d have no ear drums left.

What Antony’s accidental firing of the Library did not destroy, the remainder were worked over by the early Christians, until relieved from that unhappy work by the muslims who preserved a few texts here and there as it suited their whims and helped build the false narrative that muslims made great contributions to the world - besides slaughtering 285 million people.

I avoid The History Channel on Fridays and Saturdays, but the goofy sounding narrator guy who only speaks in questions, always catches up with me on Tuesday for Curse of Oak Island.

We have a winnah !!

Seriously, I am inclined to think that homo sapiens as we know him today is probably v2.0 or higher. It explains the existence of artifacts that require a high degree of technical knowledge to build. Some of these date back to before the Neanderthals.

I learned that steel is a non-ferrous metal!

Steel comes in lots of flavors, some are ferrous, some are not.

All are ferrous. It is the embodiment of the definition of steel.

I was being factious. I read on how it was done and they had hard packed dirt up the side of the pyramid they were building and that’s how they got the blocks of limestone up.

Nothing matches my sadness about the torch the Democrats are putting to the U.S. Constitution.

Agree.

We must fight regardless of the naysayers and critics who tell us to relax.

Those people can "relax" in the American gulags after a 12 hour day at hard labor for the Communists. "I guess you guys were right. We should have fought."

Yes.

The “ignorant fools” line of my post applies perfectly to the Americans who hate the country so much they want to physically erase history by dishonoring people and their memory.

Next “First they burned the books, then they burned the people.” Don’t think for a second they would hesitate to do that to Trump or any of his supporters.

Yes, my wife carries a magnet with her. If we are looking for stainless steel items for the boat, and it sticks to the magnet, we can’t use it.

Good Stainless Steel is not magnetic.

From what I saw yesterday, it seems that’s likely.

Could he slam a 80 ton stone against a 140 tonner? Dang, I’d pay to see that.

That floating the stones up was a dang ingenious theory though. I bet it took a lot of his “playtime in the day room” at his institution

The main thing is that using sonic drills with sound waves today, people are cutting through earth, stone, wood, etc.

all you have to do is watch Curse of Oak Island. They have used sonic drilling in their attempts to find the tunnels that lead to something...
