Beer, Pizza, and Big Rocks: How Ancient Buildings Were Actually Made

Beer, Pizza, and Big Rocks: How Ancient Buildings Were Actually Made

From the Great Pyramids to Baalbek, ancient astronaut theorists claim that mysterious acoustic levitation technology was used to move massive stones. But what happens when you actually look at the physics of sound? Join us as we explore the real engineering achievements of ancient civilizations, debunk the myths around acoustic levitation, and discover why using sound waves to move massive rocks would literally liquidize human organs. Plus, we'll dive into the actual historical evidence of how these magnificent structures were built - spoiler alert: it involved a lot of beer.
