It took several millennia to unravel the secret of building magnificent temples from huge stones. What assumptions were put forward by researchers, builders and simply lovers of secrets, but it all came down to the help of aliens, the assistance of the gods, evil spirits, etc. American scientists spent 5 years to test the real hypothesis, but they still managed to confirm it experimentally. by way. In the end, everything turned out to be much simpler and more reasonable than it seems.
Admiring the majestic temples and various ancient structures that have survived to this day, everyone asks the question: “How ancient could architects have erected such objects? " Upon closer examination of the grandiose buildings, it becomes clear that each stone block weighs hundreds of kilograms, or even several tons. Then you are completely lost in conjecture how you managed to deliver them here and pile them on top of each other.
For hundreds of years, scientists, builders, specialists in various industries and just self-taught amateurs have tried to unravel the secret. such creativity, but apart from ridiculous theories or fantastic assumptions, no one has anything intelligible gave out. Quite recently, a miracle happened, and enthusiasts in their field managed to find a real explanation such skill, and there is nothing supernatural or magical about this technology it turned out. It's just that our ancestors were quite intelligent and inventive people who, with the help of knowledge and primitive tools, could perform such miracles. And the most incomprehensible thing is that until now, neither modern builders nor natural stone processors have succeeded in repeating manipulations with huge blocks.

According to the editors of Novate.ru, modern scientists from the Cambridge Research and Design Laboratory to confirm their version Matter Design Studio, together with specialists from other research centers and construction organizations, have spent as much as 5 years (!) Of persistent labor. And this is taking into account the fact that the research team had at its disposal digital technology, a huge store of knowledge, and the latest technologies, and all kinds of inventions.
As it turned out, the secret is quite simple, if you know some of the subtleties in the special processing of the stone and learn how to correctly find the center of gravity, then a lump of 20-25 tons can be lifted even to the top of the mountain. But this is easy if viewed from the point of view of contemporaries, whose arsenal includes special equipment for processing and grinding natural stones, lifting mechanisms and various digital technologies.
And if you consider that in those days, except for brute strength, endurance and primitive tools of labor, the builders had nothing, then their skill is even more fascinating. Undoubtedly, to cut a huge stone of the appropriate shape, and even make protrusions or depressions in the right places, required great physical strength, and knowledge, and a lot of time. It was especially difficult to balance the center of gravity, because it was all done manually and intuitively.
For this reason, some objects were built for decades and the workers had enough time for various experiments. But this was justified, because the careful and reasonable preparation of each stone made it possible to move the blocks without great physical effort, sometimes even to hard-to-reach places.
Naturally, modern "builders" from the laboratory did not try to do such manipulations on natural stones and manually. In order to reproduce a similar process, the researchers empirically created "boulders" using concrete of different densities. This was done to properly balance the center of gravity of a particular part. Also, using digital technology and careful mathematical calculations, the exact location of holes and protrusions was determined.

Over time, they managed to recreate the entire process of processing "stones" and conduct an experiment with rolling heavy concrete elements. As it turned out, even huge parts weighing 25 tons can be rolled by only 1-2 people using special handles that are inserted into the prepared grooves.

Informative: Matter Design Studio (Cambridge) and CEMEX showcased their experiments at TED in 2019. in Vancouver. It was there that the world saw how (presumably) ancient builders moved boulders over long distances. Only a few people in a special pavilion demonstrated the entire process of rolling and installing concrete boulders into a solid wall, although the weight of some elements reached 25 tons.
It is sad to realize, but even with centuries-old developments and highly developed technologies, our civilization has not yet reached the level of skill that ancient people possessed. A vivid confirmation of these words are structures fantastic in their scope and shape, which even for the ancient Greeks and Romans were considered ancient.
