    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.

    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.

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.

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      "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).
