I would assume that they were referring to the current state of that particular channel, featuring programs that attempt to "prove" that ancient humans were incapable of building structures, such as the Pyramids and Stonehenge, and were instead, assisted by extra-terrestrials... His demonstrations disprove this ridiculous theory and do so with plain old common sense and logic. That's certainly something that I miss about watching those channels in my youth...learning the natural truth of things. Would be willing to bet that many others do too.

Exactly. He does in fact prove some elements of the construction are possible. It's the hand waving in between that have people mystified. Like all the steps beyond simple movement, such as raising and evenly stacking stones eight times that size. You'd need an explanation for how the rest is done, and it looks like he's not offering that.

This is an excellent demonstration of how ancient people could have moved large stone blocks around. One caveat, though: Stonehenge was built during the Neolithic period, when people didn't yet know about bronze, much less iron or steel. Even so, they could probably have achieved similar things with stone and wood as pivots, fulcrums, etc. Only unimaginative people who know nothing about science need to resort to invoking "aliens" to explain how ancient henges and pyramids were constructed.

@@joker7301there are bits of tools and hieroglyphs that show how the stone was cut. People didn't stop cutting and moving massive stones with simple tools. Copper plate or rope that's dragged over a slurry of water and sand or quarry dust can make clean cuts. Copper can be alloyed with arsenic or manganese to make it hard enough to work any stone. An individual metalsmith could make tooling that masons stuck to wooden stakes with resin to make cutting and engraving tools. The final precision of blocks was almost certainly done by rubbing smaller stones of the same material together until they got a flat face, and then using those to finish polish face stones, both on their joints and their presented face. The nubs could be used as fulcrums, points to reference to a model/plan, and also as supports for ramps or ladders.

Mate, this is fucking amazing and the fact that you figured all of this out is truly amazing. Now that I see it, it all makes sense.

Some of the "experts" have shown the lifting method he used. Their method was a little more brute forced though. The fulcrum method definitely is a smarter, less intensive method. Rolling the block is definitely compelling. It remains to be seen if it can be applied to a pyramid sized block. It can probably be scaled up. Ropes, hundreds of people, and dragging blocks on the ground was never a viable idea. It really made anti gravity more believable.
