Re: I wonder if they had pulleys or drills lyringlas Send a noteboard - 23/02/2010 06:19:18 PM
Since they didn't have metal tools, when you get right around to it, cutting, carving, and dragging multi-ton stone objects up the side of a hill is not something done easily. We know they had rope since we've got that around 30,000 BP, I'd be curious whether they had a knowledge of pulleys, levers, winches or screws. Very cool, people building stuff like this 5-600 generations back.


your best bet for advanced technology would probably be something along the lines of sleds and manpower.
