2023 version: Slideshow of historic photographs showing stone work from the quarry to the final stage of construction.
Just about any old small town or city has many examples of the fast disappearing artisan trades. Beautiful carpentry or stone work from the age of working by hand with pride and patience.
Sadly we are becoming completely separated from history as anything that can't be done in the time it takes to have a pizza delivered is considered unfeasible.
Anything that requires year of sweat and practice must be the relic of a lost super civilization or extraterrestrial.
Any weight that can't be lifted by the strongest person at the gym can't be lifted without advanced modern technology.
These growing beliefs are being exploited by unscrupulous group of mystery merchants who feign interest in things such as the history of lifting devices and stone working. Yet in reality their only real interest is in maintaining the profits and prestige that "the mystery" affords them.
They are robbing you of your history and stealing the works of your ancestors. Taking advantage of peoples trust to create an US vs THEM atmosphere where anyone who doesn't believe must be part of the wicked closed minded establishment.
Yet it is they who are the ones censoring and manipulating to promote their New Age religion. Diminishing humanity they are convincing another generation that they are incapable of hard work and great achievements.
Make no mistake! They are doing damage.

Thank you, obviously simililar stone cutting ability that we have today or even hundreds of year’s ago
Best chanel on yt
Thank you very much
Hard work done by often very talented people. Lovely.
And well dressed too. I go to weddings with less class then they went to work.
Just ordinary people. With the massive mental wealth of the previous 175,000 generations of hominid working with stones of all kinds.
Nothing specially intelligent, or hard working about stone masons. Just ordinary everyday men, doing their work. They would take every possible opportunity to make it easier or quicker - just as we still do today.
@@Chris.Davies I was thinking about people working on finely crafted stonework and statuary with the 'often very talented' bit. I was thinking about the physical aspect of the work with the 'hard work' bit and my mate Ems whose body tells the tale. He's a stone mason. And also very talented.
@Sacrlook in to stonemasons .how they carve .how fast and how they lift wild weights with there hands edGeometryDecoded
Great pictures Alan. Thank you for sharing.
I found the old family Atlantean photo album and the memory crystal projector. Luckily the telepathic to Jpeg convertor has a USB adapter ;-)
😂👌@@SacredGeometryDecoded
Just a quick reminder: Approximately 175,000 *generations* of experience with working stone before today.
That helps to put LAHT claims into proper perspective, I think.
You might want to check your maths there.
@@rosifervincent9481 175 thousand years of experience, is what he meant, that we have evidence for. If you want, we can divide that to 25 years per, so 7000 generations.
My Father trained as a mechanic and later machinist in the 50s and 60s and worked in those trades for most of his adult life. By the end of his career he was increasingly critical of younger guys working in those areas. He referred to the newer generation of mechanics as "parts replacers" rather than people who 30 years before could fix a part rather than just swapping it for a new one. He had similar criticisms for younger machinists who were trained on computer guided type stuff. Things that younger people in those trades said couldn't be done or would take too long in the present were just another day's work for people in the not so distant past. I heard similar sentiments from old school carpenters trained on hand tools during the Depression.
That's why I take it with a grain of salt when people currently working in any given skilled trade (whether it be cutting rock or machining metal parts or engineering construction of a skyscraper) engage in knee-jerk rejection of the proposition that something done in the past could be done in a proposed way simply because it doesn't fit with their frame of reference. I'm more interested in hearing from people who are a bit more flexible in their thinking in light of relevant evidence.
Dunning-Kruger Effect is a simpler explanation for the gullible fools who accept the ludicrous claims of LAHT: people who have almost no knowledge in a subject radically overestimate their skill and knowledge in that subject.
And the "Grifting Money" effect explains why it is only dishonest and immoral people who push LAHT: They have advertising revenue to collect, a DVD, a book, or a tour to sell to the gullible fools who believe their trash.
@@Chris.Davies Oh we are in agreement on that. No shortage of white collar workers or food service employees who fill the comments section of experimentalist videos with "copper chisels LOL" type pearls of wisdom. But I was referring to people who are actually in skilled trades but use their modern frame of reference in a particular trade to push LAHT. Is a mason who specializes in building backyard goldfish ponds or cinder block garages really the best guy to tell you what ancient egyptian craftsmen could or couldn't do in terms of building an obelisk or making a stone vase? Or is a machinist who works at a bicycle factory really the go-to guy for speaking to the impossibility of making halfway nice inside corners in a stone sarcophagus? Some of them seem to think so.
My dad an old school mechanic. A spanned, screw driver and a bit of wire he can fix about anything
My mate had similar training and says the exact same “parts changers”
“I’ve worked a CNC for …. Years” is the classic opening line. I wouldn’t think to fiddle with a jet engine on my best day but some of those types think it makes them a carpenter because a few times they used a mallet instead of an expensive press.
@@SacredGeometryDecoded Same thing with engineers. Had a guy who claimed to be an engineer who builds skyscrapers. But refused to consider the probability that multiple well coordinated and synchronized work crews could lay multiple blocks pretty much simultaneously during various stages of building a pyramid. Rather than lay a block and then everyone stands around doing nothing until the next block shows up 5 minutes later. Which I think is the scenario used to dismiss the idea that Egyptians and elbow grease did the job rather than anti-gravitational devices.
I just recently became aware of the fact that many people don't realise that quarrying, mining, logging etc was done mostly by manual labour until and in some parts well into the 20th century.
A+ for a very informative and relaxing (yes, I like studying historic pictures) slide show.
Very recent modern history is getting lost even with film and photography of it.
@@SacredGeometryDecodedit’s all catoulouged by a certain genre of human .so pretty sure it’ll disappear .
Great photos thanks for putting them all together and sharing with us.
Look at how they dressed, so cool. These people took pride in their work.
Exactly! No loincloth wearing savages in these pictures.
fantastic! You know what you notice in a lot of those photos... when they are photos of people working and not group company photos, there's often 3 - 5 people doing the work.... one person using feathers and wedges can cut a massive stone. I think that's part of the main problem for people, they have no understanding of stone masonry and associate the term "cutting" solely with saws...... when a lot of the cuts in stone masonry are done with hammers, chisels, and feathers and wedges. People don't understand the clean and straight lines you can make simply with hammers and chisels.
And it also goes to show that the core principles and foundations of stone masonry and quarrying haven't changed in thousands of years. New technology gets invented but the core principles on how to work the stone are the same as they were 5000+ years ago.
Excellent work SGD, fantastic collection of imagery that tells quite the story of how stone masonry and quarrying and moving stones works.
Thanks.
100 💯 also they dnt know the concept of the more you get done at youre job the more money you got and economy ,five cents would have been the same as a weeks wages .And they’d work from sun up to sundown .
I found this very moving, thank you for putting this together and sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great photos! Its amazing what humans can accomplish and have accomplished.
HumanS.
Individually, we can do jack-all. But get a few hundred people on a task, and watch them smash it out.
Make the few hundred people experts, who are well fed, and well motivated, and the results are generally staggering.
Getting paid by the stone rather by the hour made honest men of them all.
👍🏻 awesome photos , some are just incredible.. they certainly were tough people..
A few of them have that look that made the stone crack out of fear before they even raised the mallet.
OH look people in the old days could cut stone without modern saws or help from Aliens or Giants. Maybe the people they learnt this from once built Pyramids.
Brien Forester: Omg curved saw cuts!!
Meanwhile every other saw blade pictured here is curved.
Hold on now. We need to give Brien a chance to place a compass on these pictures to see if he detects any money making opportunity. Oops, I mean anomalies.
@@Eyes_Open "anomalie$"
@Eyes_Open and he's so proud of his compass its the most sophisticated scientific instrument he owns
@@GroberWeisenstein The compass does point to money sources so I am a little envious of the secret technology.
@@Eyes_Open Youre so funny! I wonder why there isn't a single person with a pounding stone in hand as a boring/cutting tool with fire burning all over the place in any of these pictures. 🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂 Its almost as if all of these stone quarry crews dating back no more than 150 years were intelligent people that didn't believe in really, really stupid things. Eh Dave ;)
Tough Times, Strong Men! I feel like a nerd watching this..... :D
Not a t-shirt or track pants to be seen I don't think. I've got to start dressing better.
I didn’t see one ‘anti-gravity’ machine or advanced laser cutting tool. These photos must be A.I. 😂
Thank you for your efforts in making and producing these awesome videos 💜
More slow zooms and foreboding music please, I’m having trouble processing this.
So much going on in many of those pics you could spend a quarter hour unpacking it all.
Excellent examples as usual. I would simply note for all how while the photos depict mules or horses for transportation - given their ubiquity by the time of taking photographs in the 19th or 20th Century = that oxen also are used and can haul a lot more than either of these animals. Most know this of course but some may not.
So an ox can pull more than twice its' body weight and a fully grown bull can weigh upwards of a ton. Ancient peoples domesticated cattle going back around 8-10K years ago and cultures maintained large herds of them for manual labor - agriculture - as well as for consumption.
The Egyptians as an example went so far as to take periodic census of cattle owned for tax purposes - "cattle counts". They of course also sometimes warred with other to obtain them to expand their own resources. Sneferu as an example warred with the Libyans and obtained additional cattle as tribute to support his public works projects.
Thank you
Thought this might of some interest: Heavy horse pull competitions involve teams of horses dragging weights across an arena floor. The record at the Calgary Stampede heavy horse pull was set in 2012; a pair of horses weighing 5,475 lbs pulled 13,400 lbs of dead weight.
Full respect for your work in the "unpopular" field of debunking "Lost High Technology" so interested in what you think about the Antikythera Mechanism, which apparently pre-dates similar devices by about 1300 to 1400 years.. Much later than your chosen field of interest, but still interesting..
LAHT fans claiming it's all CGI made by NASA in 3... 2... 1...
I saw a levitating block at 2:02
me too 🤠 and the shape shifting aliens look incredibly similar to humans ..
Hard times will come and once again hard times will create strong men. So the future is not so bleak after all. Thank you for sharing this.
Great montage. Some of those quarries are still in operation. Fun fact, most of those quarries and stone yards were without tungsten carbide or diamond technologies.
I reckon you be spotting a lot of details in there. So much going on in back and foreground.
@@SacredGeometryDecoded Sensory overload, longing and nightmares. You could easily break that down into 4 part - 1 hour long episodes with commentary. Nice to have that in your back pocket for future detailed exploration, 'SGD-style'. There is something to be said for the overwhelming impact this presents as is. Only foolish naysayers or dishonest cretans could watch this and choose to ignore or continue to speak on the subject imposing self-importance and feigning greater knowledge. "but..but..but.".claims of impossibility are just shameful displays of 'acting out'.
Something about the depicted era that's amazing to me is that so many of these people are laboring in suits. Like I do see some attire that could be coveralls of a sort and some of them are down to their rolled-up shirtsleeves, but still many also wear vest or sweater with jacket over top. Also, many appear to be in trousers of a sort and not denim jeans.
Do we know how much these would be laborers within a masonry trade versus any sort of less trained day laborers supplied by some government program? Like, I'm just wondering if suits were just that multifunctional in the day or if they didn't know where they would work that day. Or did they all own so many suits that they had work suits and Sunday suits and other suits.
No laborers. Apprentice thru to Master. Every job is a function of a particular and separate discipline. The large umbrella of Stone Masonry consists of many distinct sub-trades. I'd list them for you, but you'd probably fall asleep halfway.
"versus any sort of less trained day laborers supplied by some government program"
Strange to jump to that - could just as well be office workers for the company or a company buying the stone posing for pictures. But there are also pictures of early cave explorers in full suites (and women in dresses) and on and on. For a lot of people, including working class laborers, it was considered an indignity to be seen in "shirt sleeves." As for not wearing denim or overalls - there are all sorts of old pictures of workers of various trades not wearing denim or coveralls, which was a later development and trade specific. When the loggers cut with chainsaws and used horses or open skidders they wore trousers - it's the young people today sitting in air conditioned, air cushioned cabs of feller bunchers and processors that wear jeans. (Plus, blue jeans were considered, you know ... communist by a certain lot into the 1960s).
🥸 "You can't move Granite with 50 or more tones. They are too heavy." Mi Mi Mi
Historical Guy on a Photo: 😎 Are you sure about that?
50,000 kilograms (50-tons) is something of an important number: All objects below 50 tons are easy to move practically anywhere.
Above 50 tons things start to get a bit more complex.
At least according to a good buddy of mine who had 10,000 North Korean labourers lugging parts for a Dopplemayer gondola up a 3,500 foot-tall mountain back in the mid-90s.
😢
These are obviously pictures from Atlantis before the great plague of dry ass.
L0L
There are some yt channels out there that dont give us mason's the credit we're due, i do find it pretty insulting some times. 🤬
They seem to be the kind of people who think making a Lego house qualifies them as a carpenter. Others know better but are just grifting because they see the money they can scam off the first group.
but the photos are fakes! tartaria!
very nice photos SGD.
Tartrairian sauce is the only decent thing to come out of that advanced civilisation
Here are the real forgotten technologies of the past.
Atlantians developed stone cutting nanotech lazer 30m circular saws but couldn't create colour photography?
👌
thanks for watching
