A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

Obelisks are one of the astonishing remains to have survived to our day
from past civilizations. Some highly advanced technology must have been used
to extract these upright stones, averaging 20 meters (65 feet) in length and
weighing many tons, from the quarries, transport them, carve their surfaces and
place them in upright positions. One of the oldest known of these large obelisks
is that erected in Karnak, Egypt around 1,400 BCE. It stands 29.5 meters (97
feet) high, 1.62 meters (5.3 feet) wide and weighs 325 tons. Technical expertise
and proper infrastructure are required to transport such a huge, heavy block
from the quarry to its present location in a single piece. Tools of bronze and
copper bend easily, and could not be
used, so tools of iron and steel were ob- The section assumed to have been on the

were used as lightning rods.
were unknown at the time in question.

Aswan. This obelisk, twice the height of the oth-

tons in weight. Advanced technology must have
been used to extract this giant stone from the
quarry and transport it to its destination.
