I watched a interesting video on the Moai legend has it they walked into place - In the video there were 2 teams one on each side with ropes tied to the neck on the Moai and they actually walked the Moai down the path by pulling each side back and forth . So it is possible that brute force and physics were involved . The Moai was moving pretty quickly also wasn't a labor at all .

The reason there is no cap on the GP is probably that they realized the limits of their accuracy.
The Vatican kept the tip of the spear that killed Christ.
There is a remainder for the riddle of the Sphinx.

Piezo effect. Virbrate granite, you are vibrating quartz grains in granite.
Vibrate or strike quartz produces an electrical output.
Electromagnetic effects can be produced depending upon the application.
Yep and if it were useful there are entire mountain ranges and plates made of granite and under pressure yet no one uses that 'power'.

That is the problem with quartz under constant pressure, in situ it needs a sudden delta pressure increase above what it is already experiencing. Earthquake lights are most likely caused by powerful fractures in granite.
To vibrate it violently, it will emit sparks but presently the amount of power to do this would outweigh any measurable voltage that could be captured. No Free Lunch here.
Tesla studied quartz and piezo phenomena, but if he discovered anything useful, all of his work was confiscated by the government.... and I am sure if there was free energy discovered with granite, they would probably burn his papers as well.
So, we are left with charcoal igniters, tuning crystals and most electronic musical instruments you can imagine (especially electronic drums).
Perhaps something else will be discovered that unlocks the energy in quartz.

Here is a scientific explanation of what we know about quartz crystals, Of how it produces an electrical charge and, what it does if a charge is passed through them. The copper on the hidden shafts on the GP theoretically could be wired up, and drumming in the accending corridor, would produce a warping of the crystalline structure. And thus produce a charge.

You have all that weight pressing down on the granite, it would be changing pressure throughout the day, and cooling down during the night.I am just saying that looking at what granite seems to do, plus the way that their maths was so developed, your guess is as good as mine.

The moment that they found out the intricacies of the Antyklithera mechanism all bets should have been taken off the table. Add in the Baghdad batteries, and it looks like at least a small few ancients knew a lot more than they have been given credit for..

Depends this guy got half a volt by slapping a crystal with a weed whacker, That was with two strings whacking it. Around the seven min mark.www.youtube.com...
The Great Pyramid at Giza used to function as an interstellar lighthouse beaming out the 21cm hydrogen line. The structure used to vibrate from a hydraulic water hammer pulse generator which would be focused via the pyramid electromagnetic energy lense in the grand gallery and kings chamber whereby piezoelectricity was generated. Christopher Dunn and JJ Hurtak elaborate quite extensively on how this would work and I'm about 99% sure they are correct.
