2.How did they move those rocks into position, into the patterns?(If thats even faintly how they did it, Im trying to remember that may not be how it was done at all, and that in fact Im destroying my whole process by insisting that the stones were first cut, then moved into place.)
3.And perhaps the most important question is WHY??????
Basically they had to defend against arrows, and slings at that time, not to mention the apparently ENORMUS ammount of work that went into carving all the angles. There really is no need for this, I mean C'mon!
Anyways I hope you read what I just typed, and that it made sense and that its not just a stupid repost.
later
1) A hammer and chisel? Ever seen polished marble or granit? Artist still do it frequently.
2) Rope and manpower?
3) For the same reason many temple had the best crafmanship possible. Mosolus had a tomb covered in not only perfectly fit marble stones, but also polished marble statues and reliefs. And that was just one man's tomb.
You think thats cool, look what the romans did with carved stones. They didn't even slack off and just cut puzzle pieces, they cut all the stones the same size. And on top of that they had arches. And these are still standing 2000 years later. What the heck do aliens have to do with good craftmanship?


no make it 3)
I mean are you serious man, maybe this "knowledge" is lost too...you. But the rest of mankind
seams to understand that with a couple tools, alot of man power, and direction from lets say a "forman/leader/engineer" that this wall was built and
could be rebuilt in that same process, if they wanted to prove to poeple like you.
