Petra, also known as the Lost City of Stone, is made up of massive structures that are sculpted right out of the side of canyon walls, hidden in the remote mountains of Jordan, and is one of the most underrated sites of lost ancient human civilization.
This ancient structure, called Gommateshwara was built more than a thousand years ago and is made of one solid rock. How was it created at a time when historians claim there was no advanced technology? Is it possible to move such a huge structure to the top of a hill, with just primitive tools and techniques?
This documentary looks at ancient engineering and the use of Sun to cut rock and granite.
Archaeologists and other scientists have been scratching their heads trying to figure out how remarkable ancient structures were constructed.
The Suns ability to soften stone or is the answer to the mystery. The ancients had advanced ancient technology that could melt stone and shape some of the greatest megaliths and monuments in the world.
Many ancient civilizations world-wide were familiar with the high-tech melting of stone technology. Stones were seemingly fitted together by means of a liquid that softened stone to the consistency of clay.
