I'm watching this show on History right now called "Ancient Aliens" and these quack jobs are pondering how someone thousands of years ago could have carved such precision in rocks.
Simple answer seems to be, when all you have to do all day, and the rest of your life, is carve fucking rocks all day, you are going to get pretty good at it.
The ancients weren't idiots, however I'm watching them take drills and saws and attempt to duplicate what ancient humans did in 15 minutes and wonder why their work looks like shit.
Fuckin a. The person who carved those rocks' sole purpose in life is to CARVE ROCKS WITH THEIR HAND TOOLS. Slowly and meticulously. That's all they had to look forward to... They're even saying CNC machines can't carve with such precision and "computers can't figure out how it was done"... LOL
Just found that amusing!
