Goes along with the Egyptians floating stones to build the pyramids.
Only the bottom courses of the Great Pyramid are granite. The rest is mostly limestone which is far, far easier to work by hand and cut relatively square with axes. More intriguing to me is the fact that the Egyptian people of that epoch supposedly only had copper tools. So how do you cut stone - even limestone, with soft copper tooling? Where are the tools used for that massive building project? The ramps, giant cranes and pulleys, River barges for shipping the blocks from the quarries at Aswan. Massive amounts of “heavy equipment “ just vanished. That, to me is even more mysterious than the pyramids
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
