Video: modern rock splitting
The ancient Egyptian who came up with it:
You swing heavy hammers for a living you learn REAL fast to be accurate!
Idk why but I guess someone named Jerry would be impressed by hand eye coordination
@@ABHav0k55 🤣
It truly amazes me the precision with which he can turn such powerful swings into exact splits in the stone.
But why even do it
It is like magic. How is this even possible?
@@Hawkadium for precise subdivision of raw stock so that customers can acquire material proportional to their needs, I would imagine.
@@Hawkadium Because bricks are really cool.
@@Hawkadium
He wanted the rock gone
Ive split wood before ,but the way he gets a perfect line with that hammer is truly awe inspiring.
It had a score line already done and not shown I think
@@marcusrobinson1778 maybe. But hitting the line itself or close to it every single swing is what’s really impressive.
Even the cardio is crazy
It has to do something with the crystal formation allignment
@@user-eer555 It exploits what is called cleavage, which are natural 'grains' in the rock similar to wood grain. As long as you are strike along the 'grain' the stone will split pretty evenly.
So you only need a hammer and 1 man to cut big stone in few minutes! Great technique!
Suddenly Pyramids became less mysterious lol
Maybe to cut the stone but what about moving a 50 ton block 50 to 60 meters up or transporting it from far away to where it is need it
what do you mean lol? think about what tools the ancient egyptians had. copper and stone, that is all. they did not have forged steel hammers and chisels lol.
It's not about what we know...it's what we forgot.
@@rakushun121 dirt ramps bro, its how they built just about everything really large back then.
@Shane Patrick The pyramids weren't made of granite.
this guy is really strong. most people don't know how hard that hammering is.
Landscaping for 15 years gives you some appreciation .. hurts my back watching him the vibrations coming back through that hammer!
And God help him if he misses. He’s swinging that hammer like a framer with a 20 oz.
Sorry to have to correct you but this guy is F'ing Strong!
it's deceptive watching these videos because all these dang professionals make this stuff look so easy. I watch a lot of wood working videos and some of these people use things like axes and chisels as if they're slicing a piece of bread
All you need to see is the way he easily picks up and tosses the blocks. His grip strength is really something.
Best video of turning big rocks into small rocks that I’ve ever seen.
Wait until you see TNT videos ;)

Repent to Jesus Christ!!!
I guess our estwings will do no good here, aye?
@@jesusislord6545 Why repent to a fictional character in a story book? Do you expect everyone to be as delusional as you?
@@alanrobinson7891 I can actually explain why that is. People find comfort in a higher power, it would mean not everything they do is their fault. It also removes a fear of death. As far as I know most religions have a heaven or hell, Examples: Christianity and Catholicism, Heaven And Hell. Norse, Valhalla. Hellenism, (Greeks) fields of punishment and also Elysium. Now I'm not sure about Buddhism, Hinduism or Arabian. Never really studied those, but it's safety assume they have some sort of heaven and hell.
You could argue that it's ramblings of a stupid person, but it's much deeper then that.
Tldr: people find comfort in a higher power and a heaven.
@@overtheatlasand that's all well and good if that's what people chose to believe. But do they really need to try and force their delusion onto other people?
Ancient Alien Theorists: "There is no way people had the tools or the skills to split stones that massive and that accurately w/o help from Ancient Aliens."

@@steves3760 I would just prefer the rich people we all work for pay their fair share of taxes
@@raymonds.9021 If only you paid a fraction of the taxes that rich people pay. How about paying your "fair share"?.
@@steves3760 It isn't about what fraction of the total income taxes they pay. While we are on fractions though let's talk about how all of the employees under the rich people have only a fraction of what their corporate overlords do. They also work only a fraction as hard as the thousands if not millions of employees generating the money for them.
Stone is incredibly resistant to compressive force, but is just as weak to tension. Creating holes/trenches in the stone causes a tension force when struck. Causing the splitting of the stones.
Additionally the crystalline structure prefers to crack and seperate on geometric faults.

Granite: "Do the thousands upon thousands of years it took for me to form mean anything to you?"
This guy: "Not really."
Granite is from lava, it is not calcium that forms from animal shells over many years ;P
actually jingles granite doesn't take long at all.
@Shane Patrick Granite is actually one of the only rocks you can split that cleanly with hammers and spikes, it splits along the edges of the crystal structures within it. Using this technique on limestone would result in much rougher edges as there's no crystals holding everything together
I think video shake stabilisation was invented because of the person filming
You probably wouldn't hold anything steady either after a day of literally hammering it away at rocks
I had to stop watching, it was honestly making me motion sick.

It's all relative. He's probably paid pretty reasonably for where he lives, but there's plenty of people that can do what he does which makes him replaceable. If they all demand too much money, they get replaced by some of the machines we see later in the video. It's the way it is.

Awesome video . I am a retired Master Craftsman . My Grandfather moved very heavy engines with ease . It's funny how these " experts " of ancient Egypt still scratch their pointy little heads trying to figure out how the large stones were quarried and moved . Not really a big secret . I possess the knowledge and tools to build a home without any power tools . Building anything is 9/10s common sense and 1/10th mathematics .
In a time without skilled tradesmen and artisans such as master masons, people think anything they don't understand is "alien magic." And yet when I visited a quarry about an hour from my home to pick stone for a memorial for my family's cemetery plot, there were a handful of guys there doing just this kind of thing, most were Mexican and Central American guys who learned on the job from the one old stonemason who'd recently passed away. Bring back the guilds! These guys are artists.
This is fascinating stuff. It seems like you tell a difference in the sound and bounce where it is cracked and not cracked.
I also noticed this. The blows sound like they are ringing and then dull, just before the rock splits.

Limestone will do that easily thanks to calcite crystals.
@@LegendLength many stones are workable. Many stones have special molecular makeup that apply to different applications. Just as an example, arrowheads spears or knives. Some people can really pump them out... the right Rock,.. solid technique... whamo..

Yes, the man's skills are awesome. I would've quit hammering the first time I slipped and hit my hand! I have a hard enough time hitting the head of a nail with a regular hammer without grazing my fingers...
The ancients did this kind of work on an even more massive scale with primitive tools. Imagine how much longer it took them to do the same amount of work. Of course, archeologists could be wrong and the ancients had better tools than the evidence shows. But many of the blocks they quarried, some hundreds of tons, were genuinely very impressive too. How they moved and transported them hundreds of miles from the quarry sites, well, that's still a mystery that is hotly debated. Then when the blocks reached their destination, they had to be maneuvered into place to construct the buildings, temples, monoliths, and statues. And the methods used to stack those blocks so precisely is yet another mystery that died with the ancients.
This is very light stone...look around the 2 minuits mark he manages to lever the block away with a gentle lift off the bar if that was a solid granite chunk it would weigh about half a tonne...yes the limestone cutting in the past with hand tools is explainable but for some structures no matter how many people it would off took a ridiculous amount off time just to cut the limestone nevermind transporting it and actually most off the quarys they say where the stuff came from are tiny compared to amount off stone used ..but let's just skip all that n give it a pass..the real question is the genuine up to a 1000 tonne blocks supposedly chopped n moved from somewhere who knows where to move n lift those would take 20 modern cranes the best you can get to lift a single block just briefly nevermind transport them...
Yeah, Fred Flintstone can do that with his Brontosaurus.

you know that the first method is using guiding lines for the break, which is used in laying concrete for walkways and driveways as they know it will crack, but guiding lines are using to guide the cracking of it from it settling.
The ones used on concrete are called construction joints. We know that large flat concrete ground slabs will crack eventually when curing so we control the cracks by cutting or insetting after pouring.
@@Civilmonkey1 it is still being used by this to guide it be bit.
@@nastykiller95yeah It's like a large scale karate chop but you get money instead of applause
@@Civilmonkey1 the niches of the line in the granite is still used for the same reason as concrete as they break at weaker points.
