    All these processes he's describing are still used today. Surveying in the woods, foundation squaring for home and land plots, etc. As far as actually removing all the rock, maybe some areas began as caves or streams coming to the surface, that showed the path of least resistance. 🤷 Ancient megaliths and underground tunnels and cities are mind boggling when you get down to the details of how.

    The ancient Egyptians used light to guide them once a day. They created an isoceles triangle with the Sun and a pair of mirrors. 2 mirrors at complementary angles will meet at the same point. In Egypt, there are walls and hieroglyphs that are only illuminated by the sun once a year.

    • @firewithfire848
      @firewithfire848 3 года назад

      To answer the question of why missing would be a problem or not, you would need to know why they chose to meet in the middle in the first place. Was it a question of the shape of the land mass they were tunneling through or where it was located? Was it a question of time? Or cost? Was tunneling straight through done else where because the topographical features of an area were favorable for that method?

      Tunnels next to each other will collapse. Double the labor to drill. Four total roads would be absolutely unnecessary, possibly unfeasible. Drillers would feel like imbeciles & be mercilessly ridiculed for the failure. Not a single person would ever use the tunnels as the shame for using the abomination of a tunnel would be unbearable.

    Build a tower on top of the mountian. Build a X out of tubing. Put 1 crosshairs at the end of each tube. So you can look through the two tubes that make the X. Put the X on a spinning axal on top of the tower. Look through the tube a have somebody mark the spot you see. (Got to use smoke signals bcs there were no cell phones) . Look down the other tube. Have somebody mark the spot there. Spin the X just a bit. Mark the new spots on both sides of the mountain. Keep doing that. Run a string line from spot to the next so you got a straight line. Spin the X 90 degrees and the tubing (like a rifle scope) should align with the straight line on the other side of the mountain. Keep your straight lines tight and add to them as you dig. When hit the center of the mountain you should be able to tie the two straight lines together. No need for ANY MATH at all. Mathmatician think it required Trig. When all you got is a hammer every problem has to look like a nail.

    What if they used a Sextant like devise? Point on the peak, point on a star or set to the sun on a sun dial, and a mirror (concave) to focus a small beam of light then use the sticks to line up the tunnel center. or multiple mirror to create the beam to keep the base steady, and the add mirror is moved by a worker if using the sun.
    I think a night sky alignment would be easiest. Use the north star and the peak to triangulate your start points. keep it all aligned with a sight and simple math, essentially creating a tetrahedron on each side. Then use focal mirrors with a main mirror set with the assembly like a beacon and another on a swivel operated by a worker to maintain tunnel light.
    although you might be able to see the peak better in daylight. Align with the sun at noon. Have one mirror set to reflect to the transit at noon.
    Or both. to be precise you can't rely on just one mechanism to determine true.

    ancient humans had a feel for directions, they didn't have roads like we do now, they had shit figured out without math, but the humans using math got way better way too fast at that time, unlike now.

  • @atreyuschronicles8589
    @atreyuschronicles8589 3 года назад

    Is it possible that these ancient people just kicked a bunch of butt on both sides of this mountain and rejoiced when they met in the middle? Sometime trying to intellectualize peoples mysterious triumphs takes away from the blood sweat and tears that it takes to actually achieve something great. But yeah, I am super curious too.

    What if the tunnel was melted using the sun and a lens of some sort? One could then predict where each of the straight lines would intersect with a high degree of accuracy. I suck at math, but it's probably there...

    So I was thinking. The ancient humans dug down deep into the ground all the damn time. I noticed a pattern of up until the like late 1800s that people really never found or had on display any dinosaur bones. I have heard a lot of different reasons why. I have my own opinions rooted in evidence about it. Why do you think that is. I mean for a Brontosaurus with its dimensions would be pretty freaking awkward for its mobility, they way it would have to eat. I think of the very premise of the stories "Rooted in Bullshit"! Are really these illogical entities to exist. They also can't even decide if the T-Rex was just a big chicken. Hahaha. Ancient humans never had evidence or recorded half these things existing.

    Gunsite? These were tunnels. Having an ability to look straight on the surface ground is very different from tunneling. They were not using machinery unless your answer Is "I don't want to say aliens but". These people had much more ability physically and much more engineering skill than you are giving them credit for.

      Exactly. Wayyyyyyyy before then. Even the Egyptians just inherited the buildings and tagged the walls up. Interesting but not nearly as much as the builders. Mystery that won’t be solved. Funny enough the mummies have more in common with Europeans especially red headed genetics than over 98% of actual Egyptians.
