Fascinating new theory for Nazca Lines

It's not improbable. They sure love to move giant stones around instead of, you know, breaking them down to make it easier. Some pre-civilisation architectures look pretty crazy.

I think they did this because it was easy for them, how ever they did it...[/QUOTE]
maybe its easy to transport mass in large chunks when you're using manpower, ropes, wooden rollers etc

like moving a 100 ton block probably takes less time than moving 10 x 10ton blocks

The ones from baalbek are 1500 tonne, we can not move that weight now with all our machines.
That's why i find it fascinating :)

Taisun (Chinese: 泰山; pinyin: tàishān; Taishan) is the name of the world's strongest crane which has a safe working load of 20,000 metric tons (22,046 short tons).[1] Taisun is designed and built for the installation of very large modules in semi submersibles and FPSO projects and located at Yantai Raffles Shipyard in Yantai, Shandong Province, China. The crane holds the three heaviest lifts of all time: 20,133 metric tons, 17,100 tons and 14,000 tons.

BTW also nasa
Maximum speed for the transporter was about one mile per hour when loaded. An unfueled Saturn V and mobile launch platform weighed 6,000 tons; the Crawler Transporter by itself weighed 3,000 tons! Launch Pads 39A and B were three and a half miles from the VAB.
 
Not really, they were still Egyptians but a bit older.
Because of water weathering it could have been built around 10,000BC before the Giza pyramids.
10,000 years ago it even faced the constellation that is associated with the lion - apparently if you listen to Hancock & Bauval.

The bed rock was level, they the people dug down like a foot ball pitch and 20 ft down left a lump in the middle called a Loin....
 
in 4000 BC?.......

You stated:

[..] The ones from baalbek are 1500 tonne, we can not move that weight now with all our machines.

So someone replied with a couple of examples of machines now that can move far more weight. Including a machine that can lift 8 times that weight. Not just move it, lift it.

You didn't say that we can't take existing machines backwards in time 6000 years. You said that such machines don't exist today. They do.

In 4000 BC they had more time and more labour for massive construction projects. Half a million person-years of work can get an awful lot done. The stone at Baalbeck are in a different league, though. 50 tonne blocks, sure. Put them on a sledge, drag them. But 1500 tonnes? I don't know if that's possible.

build a a crane on a water course bring the thing on barges wow]

Watch this and tell me different

I had to stop that within the first few moments, the amount of projecting going on is to much.

just to address those first few moments, we dont make that stuff because we dont need to, not because we cant. im pretty sure the romans were more than capable of creating such monoliths had they seen the need. without the need there is no desire or the drive, its not a lack of capability's. The Egypitians were good at what they did, they saw high value in these things, later generations less so and as such the specific knowledge investment needed was not worth while to maintain.

Yeah, you just have to look at the Pantheon in Rome to see what the Romans were capable of, ignore the masterpiece that is dome for moment and look at the Corinthian columns. Those are something like 75 tons each and were quarried and sculpted some 100 miles inland from the Nile, then dragged to the Nile and transported all the way to Rome for erection. Best thing is, once they got there and erected they were found to be 10' too short, hence the outline above the current portico showing where the original design said the portico should have been. Wonder if the Roman Empire had an equivalent of Checkatrade.com? :D
