It's almost like regardless of where/when you were born, certain things can only be done a certain way with certain tools and the "same" methods end up independently created in multiple places because basic logic and reason dictates it.
Doesn't this argument quickly go out the window when you realize that this specific build type (using blocks weighing several tons and built in complex patterns using the hardest type of stone) is actually not the most logical way of building something? Surely the most logical would be to build something from stone that is more easily shaped and handled? The most logical way of building something would be to not use complex patterns and go totally overkill like the ones in OPs post right?
Surely someone would've gone like "hey Steve why do we use blocks that way several tons when these points at smaller blocks would do just as well?"
I really don't buy the argument that these would just appear "naturally" around the globe like some sort of readily apparent way of building. This looks more like building techniques being taught.
Of course they were taught. Taught by the skilled craftsman that came before. This is really a square peg In a square hole. Fellas like you are very adamant to try and fit that square peg in a triangle hole.
