The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

So what you're looking at here is the Romans most sophisticated crane in their history.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

It had a max lifting capacity of 6.6 tons.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

In other words, to lift just one of those trilithon stones, you would need 133 of these, which is obviously completely not feasible whatsoever.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

You wouldn't have the space to do it, and it's just ridiculous to suggest you would coordinate 133 cranes around it.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

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.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

Right.

The Joe Rogan Experience

So let me put this into perspective.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

So the largest stones inside the king's chamber of the Great Pyramid are approximately 80 tons imperial.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

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.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

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.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

Not twice as heavy, not three times as heavy, not ten times as heavy.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

And they dragged it on those those rails, though.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

Sophisticated rails.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

Oh, yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

It was 30 feet is documented.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

I have 23 feet illustrated because it's where the ground is now.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

Right.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2231 - Jimmy Corsetti & Dan Richards

But it's the the foundation of it goes subsurface.
