There's a stone called the Russian Thunderstone have you heard of this. No so like in the uh 1700s they took a big lump of I think. It's granite or something like that from from Finland and they shipped it to Saint Petersburg and they carved into a statue. It's still there today. It's the Thunderstone. It's in. It's a it's an edifice. It weighed that's it. That's it now yeah. That's the finished one. This image here is the right one yeah. So this is how they did it in the 1700s the Thunderstone and they moved it around 150 meters. A day took them forever and the only way they did. This was by basically sinking giant like logs into the ground to give them a leverage point for these cap stands and they'd move a system of rails. Big steel rails with steel ball bearings uh behind it. It weighed about 1 500 tons and just over a period of just very slow. Uh grinding and turning with capstans and pulleys and these steel tracks they move at about 150 meters a day took them forever.
