Hi Darren, I would say it was carved at the quarry, i don't have any doubt, they moved it, like the Roman's made ships and siege machines they made ways to move it, thanks mike

@@MikeHaduck That is a great answer Mike. I already had my thoughts but had to ask someone who knows what they are talking about.....you. I want to let you know i have had dialogue with a Professor of History over there."world of antiquity" is the channel. Yes, you are correct....the Romans are documented to have moved and carved multi ton pieces of granite. I just needed to hear it from a man that has worked stone all his life.....God bless n peace to ya Mike.

Thanks Dino, mike

Hi, in a lot of my videos I just get some mud and rub it on, let it dry and it stains it, thanks mike

Thanks terrie, I would say God made stone is natural and man made is man grinds it up re heats it and it's called man made, my opinion, thanks Mike

Hello back, mike

Hi, yep limestone is soft, no big deal, it just takes time. Thanks Mike

@@MikeHaduck you obviously did not see the video link and the uniform, continuous etched marking, clearly not done with some punch visle technique.....yes, more like the machined finished you mention, yet fail to show us......

@@curiousbystander9193 I dont see the big deal, nothing that any Carver cant do, brian is a good explorer but he's not a stone Mason or carver, thanks mike

@@MikeHaduck wow, this has nothing to do with Bryan.......what I see is some sort of machine that is able to generate continuous, non variable torque on some sort of grinding head. There's little evidence of any, zippo, zero evidence this of punch work or chisel carving.....as a matter of fact, the distance between the lines is so invariable it's hard to imagine anything but some sort of machine process....and of course, this all happened before the time of christ, yes in the same period we supposedly learned to smelt iron.....yes, I know, this kind of stone does not require iron, but what it does require is something other than chisels and mallets to achieve this kind of machined finish. ANd again, you said in the beginning of the video you'd discuss machine finished pieces, and you well, never did....... onward

@@curiousbystander9193 when I was a kid and went to the quarries they were still doing everything by hand, dont listen to all these bedroom archeologists who never worked with stone in there whole life, thanks mike
