Fallen Ramses 1,000 Ton Statue Moved 500 Miles

Fig. 1 ­ One of the largest fallen sections of the Ramses statue. Tourists show huge scale.

Mammoth Ramses fallen statue was erected at Ramaseum, a temple built to the pharaoh Ramses. It is thought that a earthquake brought down the statue. It broke into several giant pieces which are still there. This statue was moved to the Ramaseum temple area from a quarry at Aswan, located 500 miles away across the barren Egyptian desert. 
 
Statue is made of incredibly hard rose granite. But how was it moved here from 500 miles away?
 


Fig. 2 ­ Failed attempt by thieves to saw off part of the head. Note fine, perfectly arched lines made by original ancient sculptors. No copper chisel can achieve this.
 


    Fig. 3 ­ Toes of Ramses' statue shows the huge scale. Smallest right toe on statue is seen on upper left. Note adult human foot for size comparison. Fine level of detail shows a crease in the skin above the toe joint (middle toe) which is common with human beings. We also clearly see toenails. Sculptor(s) either had Ramses model for him, or used a man similar to Ramses. Advanced technology may have been used.



Fig. 4 ­ Obelisk made of red granite stands about 60 feet high. We see precision craftsmanship without chisel marks. Despite earthquakes, it still stands after thousands of years. This night-time view of the Obelisk adds a whitish-hue to the red granite which also came from Aswan.



Fig. 5 - Ramses II face
 
Precision-made Ramses II face has visible machine tool marks, according to mechanical engineer Chris Dunn. He has found fine machine tool marks inside the nostrils and on the face. One side of the face is a perfect mirror image of the other side, according to measurements made by Chris Dunn. Despite incredible smooth detail, a rectangular depression is visible from below the center of the nose to the upper lip which is interesting. We do not see this with human beings.
 
Why would the ancients choose to use granite ­ perhaps the hardest, most difficult rock to work with? How did they move all these monuments 500 miles across the sand-filled desert without roads? Granite is one of the hardest natural stones on the planet. Sculptors today prefer to work in marble. Clearly none of these monuments were made using crude copper tools and hammers. Even if artists at the time had the skill to wield chisels to achieve this level of artistry, any copper tool used on granite would bounce off or slip sideways when struck with a hammer. Use of hand tools does not explain machine-tool marks.
 
Lost, hidden or extra-terrestrial technology must have been used to create these monuments and move them to Ramaseum from the quarry 500 miles away.
