Stonehenge

Was this harder to build than the pyramids? Now hang on a minute before you sage consider this: The stones for the pyramids weigh 2.5 tonnes, the stones for stonehenge weigh 25 tonnes. This is considerably more and they were brought over from wales. So was it harder to build stonehenge? How did they move the stones that long ago? how did they lift them up?

Have a bump boyo, interesting thread

No.

Whats more difficult a 50pc puzzle or a 100000pc puzzle

First we need to know something about the ecology and physical geography of the region. Are there rivers? Because rafts are deceptively strong and capable of carrying heavy loads.

I would say it was probably logistically harder, given that the theory that the pyramids were casted proves true. However, when it comes down to time spent on each project, it's likely that the Pyramids prove more difficult in that way.

But Stonehenge is precisely arranged to align with various astronomical phenomena. The difficulty of achieving that level of detail with uncut stones surpasses arranging bricks into a simple shape, does it not?

The pyramids are much more complex because of their links to so many different things about the earth that couldn't have been known at the time.

True, the pyramids do as well

Considering the pyramids once functioned as space ships and earlier as massive power generation plants.

No Stonehenge is not even close to on par with the pyramids.

>their links to things about the earth that couldn't have been known at the time.

Hi Giorgio!

They rolled them on logs, probably. They would have to be immensely big trees to support 25 tons without being destroyed. I don't know.

To be fair, some pyramids are also set to do that as well. Considering the size of the pyramids to the size of stonehenge, I think it may have been harder to do that with the pyramids as you'd have to make extremely minute modifications to gigantic structures.

There are zero rivers in Egypt, common knowledge

Just use more logs

Good point.

I thought peole have tried to figure out how each was made using ancient techniques. They found the pyramids were built by wetting the sand and dragging then up slopes, but Stonehenge they couldn't manage. To be fair how DO you lift and move 25 tonne stones. For one it would be impossible to lift onto the logs and for another thing it would crush them.
I'm not suggesting Stonehenge is more complex or impressive, just darn tricky

google backyard stonehedge ya fuckn dolt

25 tonne stones is the key part pal

Not harder, just much longer. Evidence shows it took 1500 years to make Stonehenge.

>took 1500 years
Shiiit, it's not like they were busy

How it was actually built. Don't get manlets to do a man's job.

I thought stonehenge could be used to summon Yog-Sothoth though

Stonehenge is a pile of rocks.
Glaciers piled rocks there.
Place is boring at best.

So?

So tourists get dicked by the britons.

Worst metaphor NA

I was asking which was harder to build

Pyramids were harder OP because
Stonehenge was built in the 1950's

...

Nice meme

There are so many different variables to consider. Especially since we don't know for sure who built Stonehenge. The Egyptians had thousands of slaves to carry the stones and rafts on the nile to transport them. We dont know who built stonehenge, how long it took or how many people it took to do it. The pyramids are so massive and complex that they would seem like the more difficult structure to construct. However, since there is so much unknown things about Stonehenge, it is safe to assume that SH is the more difficult structure seeing as there was no historical records about it prior to its discovery

Good tourist ad. False, but good.

Fucking numales nowadays I swear to god, shit's not complicated. Its just for the large part pointless and expensive which is why wonder's are so rare. Any retard who understands basic pivots and pulley can foreman this project.

Because youre not putting them on one log you dim cunt, 30 logs should be more then enough for 30 tons. And either you lift it by shimming it or by dragging it up a pile of dirt or snow. ITS NOT FUCKING DIFFICULT!!!!

I'm guessing you don't see it then.

I'm always baffled by the power of meme magic to retroactively shape the past

I don't get it

You think this hasn't been tried before retard? It's been attempted many times and consistently fails. Logs are irregular as are the stones and the ground. You get high pressure areas and the logs split and are crushed, they won't even move.

you guessed wrong dickweed its a pile of fucking rocks
and it means britons are dickheads with small penises

>Another megalith transport theory involves the use of a type of sleigh running on a track greased with animal fat. Such an experiment with a sleigh carrying a 40-ton slab of stone was successful near Stonehenge in 1995. A dedicated team of more than 100 workers managed to push and pull the slab along the 18-mile journey from Marlborough Downs.

>To erect the slab, the group dug a hole. The slab was pushed over the hole until it fell in. Then, a team pushed while another pulled by rope to make the slab stand upright. The hole was filled after the process was repeated with a second slab. The lintel stone that forms the top of the trilithon was pushed up a ramp and then maneuvered into place on top of the two pillars. Engineers at the test site believed that levers may have been used to raise the lintel stone, and timber put underneath; the process was repeated until the lintel stone rested on timber at the necessary height to push it in place to complete the trilithon.

Well holy shit thanks user!

Is anything in England
not Fraudulent?

Rename it Dickhenge?

Egyptians had a much more advanced and numerous society to get the work done. To my mind, there is nothing particularly surprising about the Egyptians having been able to build pyramids, other than the fact that they should decide to do so.

The construction of Stonehenge seems more of s stretch for the society involved, especially when you look at the other megalithic monuments, many of which employ larger stones but were nowhere near as complex, especially when you consider the several phases of construction at Stonehenge..

>Considering the pyramids once functioned as space ships and earlier as massive power generation plants.

Plus kept Pharoah's razor nice and sharp for a clean, comfortable shave.

HOLY SHIT IF YOU TAKE PICTURES OF THE MOON WHEN IT IS OVER THE PEAKS OF EACH OF THE PYRAMIDS< THE MOON ALIGNS PERFECTLY WITH THE PEAKS OF THE PYRAMIDS!

>This means something.

Has anyone tried putting a razor blade inside a model of Stonehenge?

The night sky doesnt look the same as today 10k years ago

Yes and that is why this phenomena went unnoticed until the advent of computer modeling.

It's actually the belt of Orion, three stars that happen to be almost regularily aligned.

That being said aligning them with three other almost regularily aligned objects is indeed meaningless.

Gee whiz, So hard, I wonder wytch

It really just seems like a big astronomical clock, I don't understand the fuss and mysteriousity about it

1. No

2. The Stonehenge Complex is much older than the Pyramids and was built by a more primitive people.

3. Stonehenge has been rebuilt many times over

4. The Pyramids were not hard to build

You do repair things in your country, don't you?

>1. No

what?

>2. The Stonehenge Complex is much older than the Pyramids and was built by a more primitive people.

Not much older really, but yes it was built by a far less organized and complex society


>3. Stonehenge has been rebuilt many times over

Yes

>4. The Pyramids were not hard to build

lol

>Archaeological artifacts and sites dated at approximately 5,000 BP, provides evidence that the first residents of what is now the Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung National Historic Site of Canada were Archaic people. The site which is considered to be one of the "most significant centres of early habitation and ceremonial burial in Canada," is located on the north side Rainy River in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. It became part of a continent-wide trading network because of its strategic location at the centre of major North American waterways.[7] Their mounds remain visible today.[8]

>Across what is now the Southeastern United States, starting around 4000 BC, people exploited wetland resources, creating large shell middens. Middens developed along rivers, but there is limited evidence of Archaic peoples along coastlines prior to 3000 BC. Archaic sites on the coast may have been inundated by rising sea levels (one site in 15 to 20 feet of water off St. Lucie County, Florida has been dated to 2800 BC). Starting around 3000 BC evidence of large-scale exploitation of oysters appears. During the period 3000 BC to 1000 BC shell rings, large shell middens more or less surrounding open centers, developed along the coast of the Southeastern United States. These shell rings are numerous in South Carolina and Georgia, but are also found scattered around the Florida Peninsula and along the Gulf of Mexico coast as far west as the Pearl River. In some places, such as Horr's Island in Southwest Florida, resources were rich enough to support sizable mound-building communities year-round. Four shell or sand mounds on Horr's Island have been dated to between 4,870 and 4,270 Before Present (BP).[5][6]

Almost 500 years older

>lol
Just go to Las Vegas and see larger pyramids.
I quote Voltaire:
>The Egyptians, three thousand years before, had overloaded the earth with their astonishing pyramids.... Nobody doubts that, if one wished to undertake to-day these useless works, one could easily succeed by a lavish expenditure of money.... pyramids are monuments to vanity and superstition. Both bear witness to a great patience in the peoples, but to no superior genius....Neither the Chinese nor the Egyptians would have been able to make even a statue such as those which our sculptors form to-day.

>either the Chinese nor the Egyptians would have been able to make even a statue such as those which our sculptors form to-day.

Ironically enough the Egyptians were the best sculptors for all of the bronze age, pic related dates back to the time of the pyramids, 2000 years before Greeks started making life sized statues

And again, statue of the very architect of the pyramid of Gizah, 26th century bc, even more ironic

Consider the weight and technology difference

There was this massive Menhir in Britanny, around 300 tons carried over dozens kilometers, dating from -5000. People back then were pretty stubborn...

>Was this harder to build than the pyramids?
you've got to be joking. the great pyramid has stone slabs above the king's chamber that are over 40 tons. there are chambers in the pyramid with a clearspan of over 10 meters, with a load in the tens of thousands of tons and not an ounce of iron in the structure. engineering wise, stonehenge is a mud hut compared to any of the pyramids.

OP's a jackass Brit advertising a

Dumped there by glaciers.
