Several thousand years. But then you get to places like Yangshan Quarry. And I definitely recommend people to go check out that video of mine, especially the drone video that I have, because it gives you a great perspective of that site. Now, it's been dated back to, I think, the 1400s. But here's the problem with that. Yangshan Quarry, first of all, it was excavated.

I mean, these are not blocks that could have been moved by anyone. I mean, these are blocks that are, these are megalithic quarrying done here at a level. That one specifically right there absolutely dwarfs Baalbek.

Yeah, so underneath, so on the left side there, there are cutouts at the bottom, and you can walk up in there. And so on my main video that's not the drone video, you can actually see me go in there. That's the smallest one there at the site. That's the smallest one.

Like where they were going to move it?

Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, so there's evidence of the quarry. The nearby town has blocks from this quarry in it. And this, clearly, it does line up with the story around it, which is that it was going to be this monument, like this stelae. And it matches up with that.

The largest stone that I referenced there that we saw at the beginning of the video, the one that would have been the base, the one that's behind here that's real thin would have been the main body, and then this would have been the top. So shape-wise, it matches.

What we have here, though, are a lot of, you can see the grooves and stuff on the outside of the stone, even in this picture from far away, a lot of them. But you have these massive nubs sticking out. Underneath the one in the back, there's all these, it's almost like a showcase of carved out stone and examples of cutting techniques underneath that thing in the back.
