Hey gang. I was watching on the History channel on the restoration of the Taj Mahol. They showed how the huge stones were cut back then.
They used wire!
It showed them pulling wire back and forth with grit. The commentator was amazed at how fast it cut.
It showed two people, each with a piece of wood with wire wrapped on it, pulling back and forth through the stone. As the wire wore, they took wire from each end as needed. It was fascinating. It took two men 1/2 day to cut through one side.
Waaaay cool.
