So what you're looking at here is the Romans most sophisticated crane in their history.
It had a max lifting capacity of 6.6 tons.
In other words, to lift just one of those trilithon stones, you would need 133 of these, which is obviously completely not feasible whatsoever.
You wouldn't have the space to do it, and it's just ridiculous to suggest you would coordinate 133 cranes around it.
So this is what I'm trying to say is that it's further suggestive evidence that the Romans didn't build it because they didn't have the capability to lift stones of that mass.
Right.
So let me put this into perspective.
So the largest stones inside the king's chamber of the Great Pyramid are approximately 80 tons imperial.
So actually 78 tons imperial or 70 tons metric removed some 500 miles from the Aswan quarry and lifted and stacked hundreds of feet above the ground.
But here's what's wild is that those stones, the largest stones in the Great Pyramid, compared to the trilithon stones, the trilithon stones are 15 times heavier.
Not twice as heavy, not three times as heavy, not ten times as heavy.
And they dragged it on those those rails, though.
Sophisticated rails.
Oh, yeah.
It was 30 feet is documented.
I have 23 feet illustrated because it's where the ground is now.
Right.
But it's the the foundation of it goes subsurface.
