Today there will be a theme of ancient quarries, which are now either called differently, or it is simply stated that no technology existed in the past, although traces suggest otherwise. But first things first, let's start!
When I wrote an article about the Earth as the great career of an ancient civilization, some tried to explain traces, for example, in the Grand Canyon or simply in America, as a consequence of time and the influence of nature. In this article, such an explanation is unlikely to work.
Of course, there are a lot of traces of ancient quarries and large-scale workings, and I read about them, but I will write only those places that are already well known to me.
I'll start with a quarry next to one of the most famous aqueducts of antiquity - the Pont du Gard. There are really a lot of such quarries and all traces are plus or minus similar. As a rule, these are cutting out monolithic blocks with a height of 5-7 meters or more.
Such blocks were cut not only in one piece, but also at a right inner angle. Of course, I may not understand something, but it seems to me that it is difficult to cut a monolithic block of this size with geometric precision, which, in fact, is not necessary, while using only primitive tools.

The mining of blocks is explained in different ways, be it saws, a hammer with a chisel, or other primitive tools, but how did they act in this case? Did people from top to bottom somehow cut out a block of the right size.
True, in this case, if it was done with primitive tools, traces of rough work would remain, but in reality there are traces of a slightly different level. These are parallel grooves and a polished surface, can this be left with primitive tools? I doubt it.
It is difficult with * normal * images, but if you zoom in, it is quite possible to see these very grooves.
Move on. I mentioned the quarries and traces in the Crimea a long time ago, but I will return to this. There, the so-called "gorges", even a person who is not interested in alternative history, will raise questions.
At the foot of the rocks there is a limestone crumb. And judging by the "gorges", absolutely everything, from one edge to the other, is a quarry worked out in the past.
In the Bakhchisarai region nowadays there is a "valley", which is already overgrown with trees, although the traces say the same thing as in the previous case. But if you think about what the scale of production was in the past, our civilization seems to put it mildly, not very developed.
I read from researchers that in the "valley" at the foot of these rocks there is also limestone chips, which again is difficult to explain without technology, at least, like modern ones.
And not so long ago I learned about another ancient quarry located in Hungary. I came across the pictures, after which I became interested in the place, since the extraction of stone of even larger sizes with traces, as in Pont du Gard, is quite difficult to explain.
In Pont du Gard, monoliths were mined, with a height of about 5-7 meters, judging by the photographs, here already the height reached 10 meters, again, judging by the photographs.
All the same right angles, polished after the extraction of the monolith, the surface and all the same strange parallel grooves. I don’t know what kind of primitive tools should leave behind parallel grooves of the same size, but historians probably don’t know either.
I could give some more examples, but I don't really want to rewrite the material of someone's research that I read. And I just found these places from separate pictures and sorted it out myself, but I think this is enough to draw a conclusion.
What's the conclusion? I repeat that no primitive tools will leave behind parallel grooves, let alone a smooth, polished surface. Although it may be after the mining of the monolith, the ancient people had nothing to do with the walls of the quarry for beauty, why not?
But in the end, all this speaks only of the huge scale of the extraction of stone and other resources throughout the Earth. When? With using what? And who needed it? It is difficult to answer, but the official history, I think, will not help much in this case. And that's all, I hope, it was interesting.
