If the German Zeppelins of pre-1900 were able to surivive it, why could not the Zeppelins of 10,000 BC?

In fact, I would like to see anyone prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that ancient man built anything! That's what I thought, no proof just speculation!edit on 25-6-2012 by ajay59 because: (no reason given)
Can you not read? I never stated that I can PROVE that this is what Ancient man did, only to DISPROVE claims that ANcient Man COULD NOT have done it.
Yes, this is speculation, but the facts do match up.

You do realize how toxic the chemical you are suggesting they used was, correct?

Firstly, how to engineer perfectly the stones of puma punka.
It has been FALSELY assumed that machines were used. But there is another way. What no-one ever points out is that Puma Punka is a stones throw away from vast amounts of igneous basalt called fluorite. From fluorite it is easy to produce HYDROFLUORIC ACID, an acid so vicious that you can't even keep it in a bottle as it will eat straight through it in seconds.
If you check out the stones of Puma Punka, they have flat flanges at the edges and are welded together. With HF acid this is easy. Hydrofluoric acid leaves many types of clay alone, so one creates a rim around the stone of clay and then fill it to create a level, shallow pool of Hydrofluoric Acid on the surface. This will eat into the stonwe to dissolve and soften it. Now gently lower the stone above onto the one below. Result? One stone will weld ontot the other just like sticking two bars of wet soap together. Once welded adequately, release the clay wall to allow the acid to run out, maybe down a little spout. Then remove the clay.
And, viola! Two multi-tin blocks of stone welded together chemically!

...And if you think people aren't that gullible, jsut go and read up about a guy called Madoff!

I was being sarcastic about the starship Enterprise, but i wouldn't doubt it if that was claimed.
Oh ok, hah, I figured as much but wasn't sure.
I wouldn't be surprised that much either considering the mentality of our fellow population as of late.
I had to ask.
You know it would be cool though if one of them claimed to channel Spock.

This theory makes much more sense because lifting giant blocks, obviously this professor agrees there was no way this to be done by no matter how many people, unless they possessed the power of telekinesis.
A problem with this theory: Shafts where a mixture of such materials to make as if natural rocks have never been found, so this remains just as much of a theory,.

Ah, Lloyd Pye, that explains it all.
Lloyd Pye is a 100% scam artist. I spent a long time in the UK working for Consumer Protection putting people like Lloyd Pye behind bars. This man is a GRADE A CHARLATAN. (You get to notice all the behavioural traits after a while)
LLOYD PYE...
- At an overpriced lacture, Pye threw down the challenge saying that no-one could explain how ancient man could have done this. There was no tech that they could have used and challenged for anyone to find a way.
I emailed my theory to Lloyd Pye.
I received a blunt email begining "Listen Boy". Pye acted agressively to try to shut me up and instead of arguing on any points and was merely aggressively abusive, stating how he and his friends had had a "good laugh" at me. Next, he contacted Giorgio it appears, and, without any explanation, I was summarily banned from Lloyd Pye's site and Giorgio's site.
Scammers and false prophets always behave in this manner...
- They throw down challenges not expecting anyone to pick them up.
- If someone does pick up the challenge, they receive no reasoning, just aggressive derision.
- If all else fails, the scammer will try to gag any doubting by ANY UNDERHAND MEANS, including, in many cases, use of force. I have been left in no doubt that Lloyd Pye would use force to try to gag me.
Meh, Pye falls into that list of new Age cranks who want you to believe the Anunnaki (a.k.a. fallen angels) came here to "save mankind" when they did nothing of the sort these same beings they "channel" from the Galactic Federation on the starship Enterprise in Orion's belt. The hybrids they created began eating humans for food. You can find stories all over the world about those damned giants eating people like food, stories of the ancient Greek Titans, Northwestern Native Americans fighting giants, the book of Jasher, Enoch and the book of Giants etc.

Please take the time to explain to me how:
1) you find the resources to construct a 376,647,834+ (my calculation was wrong in a previous post) cubic foot airship
2) make enough hydrogen to fill the silly thing using primitive resources
3) find a material that won't leak H like a sieve
4) make a cable or ropes strong enough that can lift the payload
5) get the cable or rope UNDER the payload so it can be sling loaded?

Finally read the whole thread. I like this idea but I don't know if that's how they did it. One question. You said that if the zeppelins were in trouble they could jettison the stone to avoid crashing and that explains why there are stones on the side of the mountains. While it was cargo it was also ballast. If they could lift stones of that size I don't see any amount of men being able to hold it down if they suddenly had to cut their losses. At least not the amount of men they would have had on hand at that time.

Just when I thought theories couldnt get any stranger along comes a mile long zepplin.
So... a fleet of flying saucers is more reasonable than suggesting that ancient man did it? Ropes, pulleys, levers, none of these could have done it. After thinking hard about this for the last 40 years of my 51 year existence, a Zeppelin is genuinely the only potentially low tech device that I can come up with to have moved these stones.
Remember, an earth or sand bank to move the stones up the Pyramid has been clearly shown to have been impossible for one that height would have certainly collapsed and would have left telltale marks that are just not there.
You mentioned that the stones on the sides of hills may be there cause they had to push them off to gain altitude. Just how does one push a stone that large and heavy off of a mile long zepplin? You said they didnt use ropes, so it wasnt as simple as cutting a line.
Actually, yes, it would have been. The stones COULD have been in a hard wood casing like a sort of scaffording, snatched from the ground by having a part of the superstructure of the Zeppelin slide under the top for instnace. Not saying that this is how but it is one means.
To release, you slash the ropes holding the locks on the supports, sledgehammer the supports aside and it drops like a cinder block through a wet paper bag.
Did I say I thought a fleet of flying saucers did it?
Plus, let just think of the engineering involved in constructing a mile long zepplin. How would it have been built?

A mile long Zepplin, millions upon millions of cubic feet of hydrogen, danger, death, years spent.....
For what? Why do it? Even if your idea is the correct answer, it still does not answer why they would build anything on top of a mountain, or anywhere else that would be difficult. Early man would not even think a good use of effort would be to fly a 10,000 ton block of stone anywhere.

Please research the Thunder Stone.
The largest stone ever moved by man (nearly 10x as heavy as the largest Baalbek stone).
Moved over land and water.
Moved with technology easily replicated by any bronze age society.
End of mystery.
