The Geometry Behind Egypt's Obelisks

We explore how ancient Egyptians carved, moved, and erected colossal obelisks without cranes. From the unfinished Aswan obelisk to the sand ramp technique, lubricated sleds, and lever systems, we reveal the practical geometry and project-management that kept these giants aloft for millennia—and how today’s engineers still borrow that simple physics for modern structures.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
