    THUNDER STONE

    WhereRUSSIAN FEDERATION (ST PETERSBURG)

    When1768

    The largest stone ever moved by manpower alone, i.e. without the use of animals or machines, is the Thunder Stone, an enormous boulder of granite serving as the pedestal of the famous Bronze Horseman statue of Peter the Great at St Petersburg, Russia. Before being cut into shape as the pedestal, the Thunder Stone measured 7 m by 14 m by 9 m, and was estimated to weigh around 1500 tonnes. It was moved 6 km overland to the Gulf of Finland from the marsh in Lakhta, north of the Gulf by dragging it across the frozen Russian countryside during the winter of 1768, a process taking 9 months and requiring 400 men, pulling it upon a metallic sledge.'

    ''So tell me - are you a creationist or an evolutionist - just so we can see how flawed your theories are since you like to criticise everyone else's theories''

    Obviously the creationist is you. Instead of God, you invoke alien intervention, that aliens played a role in human evolution and development.

    As for monuments and heavy stonework, it's clear that humans had the capablity to move huge stones and build impressive works on their own, with no alien help.

    There is enough information on pyramid buliding that work gangs and river boats were used to quary and transport the stones to the buiding site.

    The alien explanation is not taken seriously for that reason.
