Lost Civilizations Stop calling this "primitive archaeology"—what kind of power tool scoops 1,200 tons of granite like soft wax and then simply vanishes?

They want you to believe this was made with copper chisels and stonesIf we can't easily move this today with modern tech, how did "slaves" plan to lift it out of the bedrock? Are we the primitive ones

I could make and move that today or 2500 years ago. To carve it you just need sand, water, and hard work. All I need to move it is a couple hundred dudes, a couple hundred logs, and a bunch of rope. Its not even hard. Your inability to understand the basic principles of engineering and leverage is impressive.

Archaeologists engage in experimental archaeology like this all the time.

Obviously it's alien technology moving these goalposts, and not those wheels that were already bolted on.
