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.
And as the video goes on, there's close-ups and stuff of that. But I question the date of this site as well. I almost feel like the writing that this was There you go. There's the massive one. And you can walk up in there, and inside of that, 16,000 metric tons.

So you can go up underneath that, and you have the same type of carved marks and looking almost like machining marks, different types of marks that you see kind of around the world up there. And you also have some of those examples of almost scoop marks right here all along the wall. You know, like this stone was just scooped out.

Yeah, so the quarry was used for stone. We have evidence of that. The stone's still being there within the city and its walls and different monuments and structures and stuff in the area. This... what is attributed to an emperor, I believe, back in the 1400s, who commissioned creating this massive monument, the Stele. I never know how to pronounce that. Stele, I think. Stele. S-T-E-L-E.

And that once they got to where they're at now, they realized that it was too big and they couldn't move it. I don't really buy that. You don't start a job like this and then get to the point of being like, oh, I guess we can't pull this off after all. These guys had enough understanding to know what they could or couldn't do.

And I almost think this was a royal or the emperor or whatever taking credit for something. that it already existed here. So there's a good shot of that back column. And I do get down into the underside here on the video as well. But this is a really good example of I think an ancient site in China that deserves some more attention. And I'd love to see things like the pyramids get more attention.

And they really are kind of a mystery there. And it's just as baffling to me that they would plant these trees on this these pyramids the way that they have, like they've done at Gobekli Tepe, without some intent of covering up the history of it. It's very non-archaeological for archaeologists to be doing or supporting.

yeah you know um i shared a bunch of a bunch of my work with jimmy recently he put out a video and dived into some of that of the you know the the theories that the the great wall is much older and that it was originally actually created to you know and there's evidence there of the wall facing inward towards china not outward
