This video discusses how ancient cultures were capable of moving obelisks weighing hundreds of tons without modern technology, using examples from ancient Egypt, Rome, and obelisks moved over the last few centuries to help visualise how this was achieved by people thousands of years ago. Logistics and technique make things possible, as well as man power, coordination, and eventually as for us, technological advancement.
