They think that water pressure vacuums were used to pull rocks up tubes.

You see all kinds of interesting hypotheses that use lower-tech means.

Most of them, I think, don't work.

But I tend to think that those would be the direction we should be looking before we go to ancient high technology.

And again, the reason that I think that is...

Because if we do get to ancient high technology, we really need to have eliminated everything else by we get there in order to be taken seriously.

I guess that's kind of how I look at it.

I'm a more skeptical person.

Oh, yeah, they definitely – I guess when I get to the – I think when most people think high technology, like you say space lasers and stuff, powered things, like something where they were no longer using human power or water power, something they were harnessing energy or doing sophisticated chemistry, things like that's where I start to be like, well, I need more evidence to go that far with it.

However, the moving of the big rocks is something that I'm quick to say, but in order to do it, we would need –

If we were to do it, we would need technology well outside of what they had available to them at the time.

And in my opinion, if you look at those, like at Baalbek, to go back to that, you've got the three big stones that were put in a wall that don't have the Roman unit of measurement used.

And we've got three big rocks in the ground that do have the Roman unit of measurement.

I think that they gave up.

They realized they weren't able to do it.

They had one group carving them, and the guys tasked to move them looked at them, what the fuck are you guys on about?

There's no way we're moving these things.

You're on crack.

Right.

But you look at Baalbek, there's a lot of interesting things about it.
