I used to support a few UA-cam channels as a patreon but I quit a few years ago. I am going to start again so that I can support you. I get so much satisfaction from watching the videos on your channels. I want to give something back. I will contribute what I can, so that my supply of these great videos doesn't run out, LOL There is one other UA-cam channel about ancient Roman history that I have been meaning to support as a patreon - ToldInStone. This most recent video on your channel has motivated me to finally do that, it is wonderful!
Thank you for these words. I know that you want to see me more in my little adventures and you understand that it isn't always possible. I TRULY appreciate that. 🥰
Fascinating as always! We do have a tendency to imagine that ancient people were somehow less than us, but they had their geniuses, they had their talented. Folk as clever as Einstein would have popped up then, but without the science foundation he grew up with, they'd have been designing temples instead, working out how to move and arrange those magnificent rocks. Like I say, fascinating!
This is a wonderful guided tour, Irena. I really enjoy the clear, detailed close-ups - providing great detail of the finished dressing of the stone work. Fantastic.
Thank you Goddess Irena, this is so cool. This reminds me so much of the megalithic works you see in Peru. I love you Ancient Sites Girl You're the best😊 🧡🧡🧡
Very interesting, thankyou. Alternative hisorians should talk to stone masons on how to work and move large blocks of granite without modern equipment. I could move very heavy blocks with one pebble, grinding and polishing with volcanic sinta and an old trick probably unknown to these great craftsmen is the use of sugar cubes for levelling and movement. They say the sharpness of saws would blunt very quickly, this is a mistake as the blades were not sharp but had flat edges the cutting achieved by the medium either sand or sinta lubricated with water.
Thank you. Your narration is perfect, your voice can be listened to for hours and your words well chosen. All in all a most excellent product and (dare I say it in these PC times?) ... you are very gentle on the eyes.
This was great! I got totally sucked in and love the camera work. Very happy that you spent time on the walls. Like seeing the temples for the first time.
Though I disagree greatly with the mainstream assumptions regarding the methods of construction and purpose of these structures, I can easily overlook all of that and compliment your videography, editing, narration, soundtrack, etc. This video has some incredible footage and was excellently made. If I may recommend delving into the alternative, more scientific and far more sensible hypothesis about the ancient structures of Egypt--their timelines, functions, and construction--I think the narratives given would be both more accurate and interesting. Looking forward to viewing more of your excellent work!
Wow! I saw more of Egypt in the first few minutes of your video than in any other video I've watched on the subject here on UA-cam! You also have a great voice for narration. Thank you for sharing, liked and subscribed. 🥰😎
Really enjoyed this. Just subscribed to your channel. I have always been fascinated by ancient Egypt and its great buildings. I have been inside the Pyramid of Khafre. I plan on another visit to the site at some point. I will check out your other videos. Keep up the good work....John from England UK x
Thank you! I liked everything: the shots, the atmosphere (with the tone of your voice, its rhythm and the music) as well as the very mysterious subject indeed! I just discovered your channel. I'm going to subscribe!
Thank you so much for this brilliant video and awesome footage of the Giza Plateau!!!! it really means a lot to me since i cant get there in person yet, i love seeing these images and its very well filmed. your narration and info is also greatly appreciated, thank you Queen :)
Welcome to my algorithm! 😊 Forgive my bluntness, but first of all, Daaaym, Cousine! 👀 Secondly, I would agree with everything you said. 💯 ❤ Thirdly, I saw something in your coverage of the polygonal wall and noticed that the small stone they call a keystone(?) was missing and it is obviously merely a capping(?) stone MEANT to pop out and replaced, if needed, due to excessive pressure at the joint point of many-ish larger stones. Due to the wear and tear, you can tell it had popped out a while ago, perhaps being able to go back into the records and find out when there was an earthquake. I’ve “seen” a lot of same walls all over the world and that’s the very first time I’ve seen one that has popped out and, according to me, you have made a world-class discovery! Thank you. Subbed! 👍 The bell is still ringing in my ears. 🔔
@@ancientsitesgirl The limestone core blocks of the valley temple were assembled and highly weathered long before they were smoothed and the granite veneer applied. These are the same members of limestone bedrock, with the same stratigraphy (layers of differing hardness) taken from the Sphinx enclosure long before Egypt, that show classic rainfall erosion. This type of erosion does not occur in the arid conditions of the region over the last 9000 years. Again, thanks for your channel.
In the Valley Temple, the core blocks show no signs of weathering because they were covered with sand for thousands of years. You can see this in my film
@@ancientsitesgirl Yes, you are correct. This means they were assembled and in place, weathered, then buried, dug out, smoothed, and then faced with granite. I appreciate your reply.
19:49 You pointed out the drainage blocks. Question: Was the climate much wetter in the 25th century bce to need the drainage blocks? The green Sahara period ended sometime between 5000 to 3000 bce. In the present there's only approx 5mm of rain and usually in Feb.
Thank you so much for this incredible video. It is true, when you are in Egypt and see the structures compared to the tools they have, you have to understand that something is missing. And the governments they do not care what we lack in information, almost everything we know is "rediscovered". Patience, your friend in Key West Ingrid Holm.
Those limestone blocks 0:03 are enormous! Haven't heard anyone else talking about them. Then they covered them, they didnt even want bragging rights! lol thanks! 👍
So amazing. So cool to see the Old Kingdom and how completely different and beautiful their architecture is. Why do you think they didn't have heiroglyphs in a lot of Old Kingdom structures?
Do you know about water leaching, and pressure over thousands of years has been studied before, when you separate some old blocks, they seem to be like puzzle pieces locked together. So the theory is (since it's such a vast amount of time there's no concrete studies hence the alien theories) that all rock types have micro porous spaces in them that can absorb water and create these locked blocks over that many years, but it takes longer than man has been studying them to prove it. There's flakes peeled off the pyramid stones that prove leaching on the ground, and some maybe from acid rain for centuries, but the locking of blocks and rain that washes away the sand between pressure of weight seems more likely. This is also seen in most megaliths that have the weight and time to do it, but im not saying that they weren't master Masons, because it takes that just to get it close enough to close those gaps through time
Yep, great points. People will point to the stones which look fused together yet ignore the ones right next to them that aren't. Nevertheless lapping blocks is a well known masonry method used since ancient times. There's nothing crazy about it. People just haven't done real research and just want to believe in a mystery.
@@_MikeJon_ It appears you haven't done any real research neither. There is evidence on the pyramids themselves where you can see the blocks in place interlock nicely but have not been finished right next to finished stonework. As for the locking of blocks we can granite that has been around for millions of years, let alone centuries with massive cracks in, so poof in smoke goes that theory. The unfinished obelisk in the Aswan quarry shows scoop marks in the granite. I dismiss dolerite pounding stones as complete and utter b****ks. Those scoop marks are found in granite all over the world where it has been worked as though it had been softened. How? Not a clue. There is a mystery here whether you like it or not - just like the 40 ton Dacite block of stone down the Osiris shaft. That material is nowhere to be found naturally occurring in Egypt. The etymology of Dacite is from a region originally called Dacia, which is mainly Romania these days. Why go to the lengths of hauling a great lump of stone over 2000km that is completely different to the other stone down the shaft? It's not a matter of wanting to believe in mysteries - they are mysteries and many ridiculous theories are concocted to brush them under the carpet. A tour guide was asked how the boxes were transported down the Osiris shaft. His response - they filled the shaft with sand and then emptied the sand out from the bottom lowering the block. He was asked how did they access the lower levels with the shaft filled with sand? They used a second shaft. Where is the second shaft? He walked off. Why? - because there isn't a second shaft... In the Serapeum - regardless of the boxes - how did they illuminate it to see what they were doing? There's no evidence of torches nor soot. And on and on..
Pyramid of Khufu…I like everything I see about Ancient Egypt. I am always intrigued by ancient Egypt. How could they build such large structures and the beautiful walls of the tombs. Ramses tomb is magnificent. The two female pharaohs Hatshepsut and Nefertiti are my favorite. Of course Ramses II is great. Building with the large blocks they used is intriguing. Did the pyramids of Giza have something with the sun. I subscribed to your channel. Thankyou
Great video ! If we only judge by what we see, it is clear that this architecture is a product of an advanced culture, that at the minimum possessed deep understanding of physics, mathematics, engineering, construction techniques, material properties hence chemistry and medicine so that the population stays alive long enough to learn and build. U cant build with such complexity without complex blueprints. It is very hard for the rational mind to believe, that a culture with a life expectancy for men of under 25 years on average and without even a concept of the basic Newton laws, were able to achieve this. Too bad only a time machine can tell for sure what was going on back then.
The Egyptians of the Old Kingdom had created an extremely sophisticated and advanced culture; by then the unified Egyptian empire was already 500 years old!
@@ancientsitesgirl you should understand the technological level of construction needed to work perfectly in granite is even greater than our current capacities not mentioning transportation and extraction , just visit granite quarry around the world and ask if it can be done with copper chisel
...Hello for the first time, AncientGirl...I may be your newest sub... Someday I will share why it isn't necessary for you to travel all the way to a1200 ton stone in Baalbek Lebanon or all the way to the Giza Plateau to try and figure out, why we can't figure out...That life form, didn't need tools...
Hello there, Ancient sites girl, I'm a tour guide here in Egypt. I love your education videos so much. Please let me know if I could join one of these educational tours you make whether in Cairo or in Upper Egypt.
I always see the videos uploaded by the Ancient sites girl. Well narrated, soothing background scores, well framed. I appreciate... 👏👌🙏♥️ Only one thing I should say that some clips are over exposed, perhaps due to Scorching sun. A cpl could have made it more better with vibrant shots. 🙏
I'm a real mason and I know not only how this polygonal technique is done. More importantly is the why. I assure you these people were much more advanced than we are today and it is able to be proven. The smoking gun still exists and more than likely still functions mankind is just not intelligent enough to turn it on😂
What makes them think that these pyramids and temples were built by the ancient Egyptians? And not just found by them, and repurposed? How come modern Egyptians have forgotten how to work stone like this? Technology and skill doesn't get lost, it only improves with every generation.
Unless a sudden disaster takes an entire nation out of existence Or Foreign invasions against the ancient nations after their internal collapse. Check the burning of the Alexandria library by the hands of Julius Caesar army in 48 BC approximately
@@josephcross7960check out history for granite, he’s got a good one about the function of pyramids as a tomb, where folks would enter and exit regularly..
This idea of fusing is simply a few thousand years of stone creating a solid seam between blocks due to changes in water, heat, exterior weathering, etc. It is not something magical
That is not a change in building style. Building style describes an aesthetic change. The difference between this structure and the younger structures is a change in construction method and technology. They are using a different material (granite) cut into polygonal shapes, which is a much more advanced building method that is more capable of handling earthquakes and other live loads than simple block stacking is capable of accommodating. You can see in portions of this video locations where limestone that is crudely cut is placed on top of the much cleaner cut granite. The people that installed that limestone were likely from an entirely different culture. Either that, or the culture had a severe setback and lost much of their construction technology after some cataclysm.
Our timeline of Humanity, which includes the ancient Egyptians, has never been able to achieve the level of construction capability as we see in these ancient monuments all over the world. Some can be attributed to our ancient ancestors, but the precision-built structures were not built by our time-line of ancient Humanity. The level of detail, precision, function and purpose in the constructions is way beyond Humanity's technological capabilities, including up to today. This is not a theory, this is the reality of it, backed up by the proof you can see before your eyes. The best example of this is the precision-built 'caves' in India, carved perfectly from solid granite, polished to a mirror sheen. The 'Polygonal' walls we see in this video, in Egypt can also be found all over the world. They are much older than mainstream archaeology claims them to be. We have the evidence of the level of technological capabilities which our ancestors, such as the ancient Egyptians possessed, because they kindly documented it all for us. Nothing that the ancients possessed was able to achieve the construction of these structures. Not only that, but the structures themselves pre-date our ancient peoples by thousands of years. Mainstream puts much of the structures into time-lines of around 5,000 years ago. However, the measurements taken of erosion of the structures as well as their surrounding areas places them much earlier at around 12,000 years ago and possibly older. Don't believe the mainstream bull sh1t.
the uneven top blocks are years of moisure escaping with fly ash out of the chimney system , thus layering , probably where fly ash was also yielded for cement manufacturing.
Every structure on the Giza Plateau was made by human hands. Some of the techniques used are well known and some merely hypothesized. However, there are examples of craftsmanship in early and pre-dynastic sites such as Abydos, Abu Sir and Tanis that exhibit the traces of craftmanship that, as claimed by modern engineers and by stonemasons themselves, that cannot be accounted for by the technologies attributed to the ancient Egyptians of those eras. Anyone claiming that these things were not made by human hands is somewhat deluded. The question is, how were they made? The bigger question, how were some of these transported? There are very few, if any, satisfactory explanations.
Really enjoyed this first video on a day off gym boring. Unlike your video could watch people walk around ancient stuff forever. In a very not creepy way love the accent. Old enough to be your dad, I have a daughter us men are different or should be.
It may be naive to think that these megalithic structures were built by the people with primitive tools, when not even us with modern technology could do it! Maybe it is our dating sisteme ,or the desire of the people living there today ,that we attribute thease structures to the wrong people!!! That precision craftsmanship requires knowledge of mathematics and mejorments plus heavy lifting mechanisms that the people we say couldn't have!! Most likely thease structures were built by people more advanced than even us !!! Who knows how many civilizations appeared and disappeared on this earth!!! Our planet must've had a tumultuous history and it makes sense that only thease megalithic structures remain because everything else has been destroyed!!! Our ancestors new it ,and that's why they built it like that!! It is like a time capsule probably!!! A pyramidal structure could even withstand a nuclear catastrophe! Megalithic constructions too!!! Maybe that's what happened long ago, who knows!!! Look at us , playing with a nuclear disaster!!! After ww2 we sed "never again " , and look around, wars all over the world, big empires pushing the smaller ones, big difference between between the rich and poor, rising of the faar right, religious hatred, sectarian violence,land grabbing, free for all!!! 2 big wars with nuclear capabilities, we may be on our way to a mondial conflagration allredy!!! It's only a matter of time if we don't pacify the world!!! Stop the industrial arms complex, they are fomenting all these wars just to make money, they don't care if we kill each other!!
Advanced global civilisation cannot just disappear from archaeological record. As much as these structures are amazing and mind boggling, imagining advanced civilisation with some advanced tools is a fairy tale. I think we are greatly underestimating these ancient Egyptian people, they for sure had some ingenious methods and wooden contraptions etc. Anyway, if you don't believe me, check out temples from india and cambodia. Those are undisputedly dated in AD and have similar building techniques.
granite conducts heat , same as cheap micoprocessor heat conduction paste , 3.5 WMK , this means less cracking when built for oven applications. Theshold of granite reaches much higher in tempriture than the baking temperitures of most red clay terracottas.
It cuts through megaliths as easily as butter. It cuts through metal blocks as precisely as it cuts through butter. The mystery of megaliths is lost a bit.
I would like to compare this granite with Aswan. I compared Karnak and Aswan (I took a piece) - they are completely identical. There is also granite polygonal masonry in Ethiopian Aksum.
bonjour j ai été pontier ou pontonnier levage avec un pont de env cent tonnes câble de quatre cm de diamètre multiplier par huit mes charges étaient entre vingt et trente tonnes je déplaçais en huit heures un peut plus de deux mille tonnes comment des gens ont pu déplacer cela? avec quoi des cordages de lin de la fibre de perlimpinpin aucun portique fait de bois n est capable de soutenir des poids aussi important
It's a mystery, all we know is that they did it. Much heavier obelisks were taken on ships to Italy by the Romans and placed on high plinths, now that's a feat! In Rome they used wooden machines and ropes

Thanks 😊✌️❤️
Great vid. Nice pace.
Wow!!! To chyba największe i najlepiej obrobione bloki, jakie kiedykolwiek widziałem. I pomyśleć, że to dzieło ludzi, którzy nie znali jeszcze żelaza!
Zawsze mnie zdumiewała, w świątyni byłam wiele razy ale dopiero latem dało się tam coś nakręcić...
...Hello for the first time, AncientGirl...I may be your newest sub... Someday I will share why it isn't necessary for you to travel all the way to a1200 ton stone in Baalbek Lebanon or all the way to the Giza Plateau to try and figure out, why we can't figure out...That life form, didn't need tools...
I hope you will stay, best regards ✌️
Bravo brilliant 👍🏻💯💖
Thanks ✌️
Well done.
Thanks ✌️
I was late. 😢
But I'm here, and I am relaxed and ready for some good stuff!
Love it
Thanks for watching ✌️
Very cool!! 😎
Thanks
Hello there, Ancient sites girl, I'm a tour guide here in Egypt. I love your education videos so much. Please let me know if I could join one of these educational tours you make whether in Cairo or in Upper Egypt.
Thank you, are you from Giza?
@@ancientsitesgirl from Cairo yeah
I plan on being there more often, nice to meet you!
brilliant
Thanks 😊
Check out lighthouse construction now there is some magnificent blockwork in those

Gostei muito do seu vídeo. Desde São Paulo, Brasil.

Thank you ! 👍
I always see the videos uploaded by the Ancient sites girl. Well narrated, soothing background scores, well framed. I appreciate... 👏👌🙏♥️ Only one thing I should say that some clips are over exposed, perhaps due to Scorching sun. A cpl could have made it more better with vibrant shots. 🙏
I'm a real mason and I know not only how this polygonal technique is done. More importantly is the why. I assure you these people were much more advanced than we are today and it is able to be proven. The smoking gun still exists and more than likely still functions mankind is just not intelligent enough to turn it on😂
What makes them think that these pyramids and temples were built by the ancient Egyptians? And not just found by them, and repurposed? How come modern Egyptians have forgotten how to work stone like this? Technology and skill doesn't get lost, it only improves with every generation.
Unless a sudden disaster takes an entire nation out of existence
Or Foreign invasions against the ancient nations after their internal collapse.
Check the burning of the Alexandria library by the hands of Julius Caesar army in 48 BC approximately
I think egyptians did actually know how. But it was pre-flood. Which means they inherited the knowledge from the earlier people there.
And why the assumption that they were tombs if no mummies were found inside?
Only one mummy, a royal mummy from the old kingdom, has somehow survived to this day. We are talking about thousands of years of pyramid robberies!
@@josephcross7960check out history for granite, he’s got a good one about the function of pyramids as a tomb, where folks would enter and exit regularly..
Is the alabaster floor filled in here and there by modern concrete? Thank for a detailed tour!
The blocks are almost as if fused together. I think we do not know if the technology possessed by our ancestors. Thanks for your detailed views.
Thank you for watching!
This idea of fusing is simply a few thousand years of stone creating a solid seam between blocks due to changes in water, heat, exterior weathering, etc. It is not something magical
That is not a change in building style. Building style describes an aesthetic change. The difference between this structure and the younger structures is a change in construction method and technology. They are using a different material (granite) cut into polygonal shapes, which is a much more advanced building method that is more capable of handling earthquakes and other live loads than simple block stacking is capable of accommodating. You can see in portions of this video locations where limestone that is crudely cut is placed on top of the much cleaner cut granite. The people that installed that limestone were likely from an entirely different culture. Either that, or the culture had a severe setback and lost much of their construction technology after some cataclysm.
They used granite in all periods, from the Early Dynastic to the Roman times. As well as polygonal blocks
Our timeline of Humanity, which includes the ancient Egyptians, has never been able to achieve the level of construction capability as we see in these ancient monuments all over the world. Some can be attributed to our ancient ancestors, but the precision-built structures were not built by our time-line of ancient Humanity.
The level of detail, precision, function and purpose in the constructions is way beyond Humanity's technological capabilities, including up to today. This is not a theory, this is the reality of it, backed up by the proof you can see before your eyes. The best example of this is the precision-built 'caves' in India, carved perfectly from solid granite, polished to a mirror sheen.
The 'Polygonal' walls we see in this video, in Egypt can also be found all over the world. They are much older than mainstream archaeology claims them to be. We have the evidence of the level of technological capabilities which our ancestors, such as the ancient Egyptians possessed, because they kindly documented it all for us. Nothing that the ancients possessed was able to achieve the construction of these structures. Not only that, but the structures themselves pre-date our ancient peoples by thousands of years.
Mainstream puts much of the structures into time-lines of around 5,000 years ago. However, the measurements taken of erosion of the structures as well as their surrounding areas places them much earlier at around 12,000 years ago and possibly older. Don't believe the mainstream bull sh1t.
And I think they were build by extraterrestrial humanoids. This was their base or something like that and they have build them in other places also.
Hallow hallow our white chocolate Queen in Egypt..we miss you here🥰🥰😍😍❤❤❤
🤣 thanks ✌️
music by whom? beautiful music and video;;;;;;;;;;;;;2024;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
So delightfully Nordic in every possible way.
the uneven top blocks are years of moisure escaping with fly ash out of the chimney system , thus layering , probably where fly ash was also yielded for cement manufacturing.

It's funny how many commentors have clearly watched too many ancient aliens programs and are now authorities on how these things were constructed.
Oh yes, it's a very popular concept
Every structure on the Giza Plateau was made by human hands. Some of the techniques used are well known and some merely hypothesized.
However, there are examples of craftsmanship in early and pre-dynastic sites such as Abydos, Abu Sir and Tanis that exhibit the traces of craftmanship that, as claimed by modern engineers and by stonemasons themselves, that cannot be accounted for by the technologies attributed to the ancient Egyptians of those eras.
Anyone claiming that these things were not made by human hands is somewhat deluded. The question is, how were they made? The bigger question, how were some of these transported? There are very few, if any, satisfactory explanations.
Agreed. They didn't have the tools to carve granite at the time the Giza pyramids were built.
Really enjoyed this first video on a day off gym boring. Unlike your video could watch people walk around ancient stuff forever. In a very not creepy way love the accent. Old enough to be your dad, I have a daughter us men are different or should be.
It may be naive to think that these megalithic structures were built by the people with primitive tools, when not even us with modern technology could do it! Maybe it is our dating sisteme ,or the desire of the people living there today ,that we attribute thease structures to the wrong people!!! That precision craftsmanship requires knowledge of mathematics and mejorments plus heavy lifting mechanisms that the people we say couldn't have!! Most likely thease structures were built by people more advanced than even us !!! Who knows how many civilizations appeared and disappeared on this earth!!! Our planet must've had a tumultuous history and it makes sense that only thease megalithic structures remain because everything else has been destroyed!!! Our ancestors new it ,and that's why they built it like that!! It is like a time capsule probably!!! A pyramidal structure could even withstand a nuclear catastrophe! Megalithic constructions too!!! Maybe that's what happened long ago, who knows!!! Look at us , playing with a nuclear disaster!!! After ww2 we sed "never again " ,
and look around, wars all over the world, big empires pushing the smaller ones, big difference between between the rich and poor, rising of the faar right, religious hatred, sectarian violence,land grabbing, free for all!!! 2 big wars with nuclear capabilities, we may be on our way to a mondial conflagration allredy!!! It's only a matter of time if we don't pacify the world!!! Stop the industrial arms complex, they are fomenting all these wars just to make money, they don't care if we kill each other!!
Bellissimo commento.... hai detto bene 💪
Advanced global civilisation cannot just disappear from archaeological record. As much as these structures are amazing and mind boggling, imagining advanced civilisation with some advanced tools is a fairy tale. I think we are greatly underestimating these ancient Egyptian people, they for sure had some ingenious methods and wooden contraptions etc. Anyway, if you don't believe me, check out temples from india and cambodia. Those are undisputedly dated in AD and have similar building techniques.
Pozdrowienia z Polski wszystkiego najlepszego życzę ,super jak zwykle film.uważajcie na siebie
Dziękuję i pozdrawiam serdecznie ✌️
granite conducts heat , same as cheap micoprocessor heat conduction paste , 3.5 WMK , this means less cracking when built for oven applications. Theshold of granite reaches much higher in tempriture than the baking temperitures of most red clay terracottas.
It cuts through megaliths as easily as butter.
It cuts through metal blocks as precisely as it cuts through butter.
The mystery of megaliths is lost a bit.
💯🎉❤
I would like to compare this granite with Aswan. I compared Karnak and Aswan (I took a piece) - they are completely identical. There is also granite polygonal masonry in Ethiopian Aksum.
Everybody already knew that.. All the rose granite in Egypt comes from Aswan.
@@Ghost2743 The granite in Baalbek is different in structure, although everyone claims that it is also from Aswan.
@@cortes4923 So there must have been a granite quarry near Baalbeck
bonjour j ai été pontier ou pontonnier levage avec un pont de env cent tonnes câble de quatre cm de diamètre multiplier par huit mes charges étaient entre vingt et trente tonnes je déplaçais en huit heures un peut plus de deux mille tonnes comment des gens ont pu déplacer cela? avec quoi des cordages de lin de la fibre de perlimpinpin aucun portique fait de bois n est capable de soutenir des poids aussi important
It's a mystery, all we know is that they did it. Much heavier obelisks were taken on ships to Italy by the Romans and placed on high plinths, now that's a feat! In Rome they used wooden machines and ropes
Good good good good good good good good
Thanks!
