The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

It's at the top of this steep mountain.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

They built this structure.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

That's at the quarry.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So I'm standing on one of the stones.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So yeah, that's it there.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And at the top of this are these giant 80-ton granite blocks that make up this central, they call it a sun temple.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And we know where those come from.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

It's like if you imagine this giant mountain, there's a big old valley to the left of it and then another giant mountain.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And at the top of that other giant mountain is the quarry for this granite.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

It's about 40 feet.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

five, six miles as the crow flies, but it's probably like 10 or 12 to walk it.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And I've walked it.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

We've climbed up to that quarry.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And all the way along this path, they have what are called these tired stones, which are giant blocks of granite that they just, they just, they dropped.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

They just left them there.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

They're called the tired stones, yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And in fact, if you see in the very bottom left here, there's a road that they built.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And if you look at some of these other images, I'm standing on some of these rocks.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

Actually, this one, this is one of the examples.
