Except by moving them by manpower, look too at how few really heavy stones were moved and the amount of time and the world wide dispersion by geography and time
Heavy stones list
Only 14 stones over 400 tons were ever moved - probably because it was hard work and they only did it when highly motivated.

The manpower solution doesn't hold water. It is possible to move these rocks into place, by digging under them on one end, and balancing them while laying them to rest, etc. But moving them over wast distances, no.
And thereein leis your answer ...

I replied in a similar fashion on page one. ET, God, Gods of history may have engineered the whole lot. It goes along with the flood stories. God (ET) did not like what he created so he detroyed it and started over. I guess "they" needed to get it right before moving forward.

Ah, no they moved the thunderstone in historic times without powered machinery in the 18th century, its weight was 2,000 then later cut down to 1250 tons. Earlier a number of obolisks were moved from Egypt to Rome and a number of European capitals.

I didn't say that at all. I am simply typing a small bit of a theory that has been written in books about this subject. We don't know how these structures were built. You seem to know via a tect book on how the Egyptians moved large stones?

Wondering about that too. But it could be folks passing time (keeping peace) through diversion in continually being per-occupied, eg: slowhand-stone work. Though I have other ideas re Ancient Egyptions (Kufu)?

The obilisks?
These are stones, that were cut out "in place", and then balanced up into place. Nothing particularly peculiar about them.
Did they lift them with pulleys made out of wood, put them on a ship of clay and sail them to rome?
Bull# ... pardon my french.
Why would the romans go to Africa, to fetch a block of stone? Shouldn't that be a clue, to anyone?
For those of you who took the time to read through all this thread with an open mind I just wanted to say, Thank you. For all the rest who are chomping at the bit to get their either "Religious or strictly Scientific" view across in response/rebuttal.

Primitive man did this, using nothing but toothpicks and dedication, and they did it exactly when we said they did it. I have a $50,000 piece of paper that says I know what I'm talking about, but if you must have proof, you may check the scientific and totally unbiased website scienceisgod.org\toothpicks-and-dedication
As a special bonus, don't forget Mainstream Science's overall opinion, implicit in thier assumtions: Ancient Man was Primitive - Everything Ancient Man built was a Temple - Temples are for the Religious --> Religious people are primitive.
