LOLOL That is an excuse, Would you have believe that thousands of cultures, independent of each other, all over the world, learned how to do this stuff, with nothing but rocks to bang around, and then all of them forgot how to do it. and we cannot figure it out.
No it is not. It is the depth per revolution. This is a machine, delivering the same results. all the way through a 8 inch hole.
Yes, and yes. You'll note something we all had in common ... around the world. We were all humans, with opposable thumbs, access to stone, and a deep ignorance of the natural world (hence the gods and monsters). We lost the skills because we didn't need them! Ask yourself how many girls under the age of 25 can use a sewing machine to make a garment. In my day, it was about 90% .. today it's less than 10%. Clothing is mass produced and cheaply sold today, so there is no need to sew your own. More importantly, those non-sewers look at a garment and cannot fathom how it is made.

It's 'an' eight inch hole, not 'a' eight inch hole .. FTR. And you have absolutely no way of determining how long it took to produce. It could have taken a team of extremely skilled and precise masons 6 months to 'drill' by hand.
Would you believe that thousands of cultures, independent of each other, all over the world, also learned how to hunt, grow food, build houses, and invent gods?
Not the diameter, look at the core, it is about 8 in long. the diameter is closer to 3 inches, the depth is what I am talking about. and I don't care how skilled you are, you need a tool that will cut granite, at a measured, and calculated pace. I don't think you even know what a bore cut looks like, before you chip out the core.
And yet there it is, done. So it IS possible, obviously. Just like a complicated garment - which seems impossible to the non-sewer.
That's right, there it is. You can see it. You can touch it. Now the big question. How the hell did it get there. We have to start looking at other choices than we were fed 50 years ago. Today with the internet, putting all these sites at our fingertips, we can look to other possibilities. However religion has discouraged them until now. In the past, it was easy to look at one in a book, and say, we just don't know, but now we are finding out there are thousands, not just one.
Via the huge amount of time, manpower, and patience of ancient Egyptian masons. And copper drills assisted by sand. The information is readily available, if you actually want true answers, rather than preferred answers.
What about those given to conspiracy theories who are atheists or of a secular nature such as the Grays or Lizard people?
You haven't the slightest idea how machines work. A copper drill, assisted with sand, will dig through sandstone. But not at the rate of 1/8th in per revolution. and remain at that rate for 8 inches. It will work as a grinder, not a drill bit, or hole saw. Back and forth, back and forth, leaving no tool marks like the ones on the bores.
Most of this stuff is suppressed by religions. And the fear of the governments keeping it silent for the control of the masses We as a people, probably are not ready yet. I am curious what the Vatican has in their basements.
The Parthenon is mystifying enough for me. Amazing that they could do that with just muscle & blood and beasts of burden. imo it would take us several tracked Manawalks and pneumatic power to get it done today.
Another interesting point is deep within pyramids, tombs, etc, in total darkness. There are magnificent paintings and carvings, that took a long time to make. But there was no light to do it. Torches are out, no suet. mirrors were tried, modern ones, and they don't work. somehow they got light, into a totally dark room, many of them, for a long time.
Sigh ... it is entirely possible. It takes a long time, and requires a lot of manpower, but it's doable. Heck, granite can even be cut with water, given sufficient time.
Exactly. Yet they did it! It's incredible to think of just how many incredible skills we've lost through lack of need.
If you're second seat and would like to someday be captain, you don't mention the UFO's you are seeing to the captain. He "didn't see" them either and he don't want trouble with corporate.
Waterjetting is very expensive and uses up consumables -- great on closed cell foam, not so much on armor plate.
