I hate these types of claim. We know roughly what techniques could have been used. The mystery is maybe in why they went to such a great amount of effort. These buildings would have required many decades to construct and involved thousands of workers.
- garmaine 6y agoYeah, it's a bit like claims that "we don't know how they built the pyramids" and such. There are multiple competing theories. The fact that we don't know, for certain, exactly which one matches what was done thousands of years ago doesn't mean the technique has been "lost." There's no engineering mystery here, just a gap in historical knowledge.
- catalogia 6y agoHow the stones of the pyramids were worked is no great mystery. The interesting part is how they were lifted into place. The external-spiral-ramp and one-long-ramp theories both seem extremely unlikely. Internal-ramp seems plausible but isn't yet mainstream.
