#RINVIA [[Lista dei più grandi monoliti al mondo]]
-
 
+
-
This is a '''list of monoliths''' organized according to the size of the largest block of stone on the site. A [[monolith]] is a large stone which has been used to build a structure or monument, either alone or together with other stones. In this list at least one colossal stone over ten tons has been moved to create the structure or monument.
+
-
 
+
-
In most cases the ancient civilizations had little, if any, advanced technology that would help the moving of these monoliths. The most notable exception is that of the [[Ancient Greece|ancient Greeks]] and [[Ancient Rome|Romans]] who had [[Roman crane|cranes]] and [[Treadwheel crane|treadwheel]]s to help lift colossal stones (see [[List of ancient monoliths]]).
+
-
 
+
-
Documented in recent times, there is a list of efforts to move colossal stones that used technology that wasn't more advanced than the technology the ancient civilizations used.
+
-
 
+
-
Most of these weights are based on estimates by published scholars; however, there have been numerous false estimates of many of these stones presented as facts. To help recognize exaggerations, an introductory description shows how to calculate the weight of colossal stones by calculating [[volume]] and [[density]].
+
-
 
+
-
== Calculating the weight of monoliths ==
+
-
In the cases of the smaller monoliths it may be possible to weigh them. However in most cases the monoliths were too large or they may have been part of an ancient structure so this method could not be used. The [[weight]] of a stone can be calculated by multiplying its [[volume]] and [[density]]. The density of most stones is between two and three tons per cubic meter. The average weight of [[granite]] is about 2.75 metric tons per cubic meter, [[limestone]] 2.3 metric tons per cubic meter, [[sandstone]] or [[marble]] 2.5 tons per cubic meter.<ref>{{Citation

The discussion above is accurate as far as it goes, which is only to the first significant figure. To go any further one needs to be relatively sophisticated about surveying the monolith (including realistic and explicit assessment of the shapes of inaccessible portions of the monolith), then about calculating the volume (and volumetric errors, which vary crudely as the cube of linear uncertainties). Finally and crucially the rock density needs to be measured with appropriate precision. Identifying the rock type is not going to be sufficient as this table (from<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.earthsci.unimelb.edu.au/ES304/MODULES/GRAV/NOTES/densities.html |title=Density Variations of Earth Materials |publisher=Earthsci.unimelb.edu.au |date= |accessdate=2010-09-12}}</ref>) illustrates:

+
-
Simply identifying the monolith as being "sandstone" would allow a reasonable ± 15% uncertainty in the weight estimate.
+
-
In practice, one would measure the density of the monolith itself, and preferably document any variation in density within the monolith as they are made of natural materials, which have not been engineered for homogeneous parameters. Non-destructive methods of density measurements are available (e.g. electron back-scatter); alternatively the site may contain already-separated fragments of the monolith which can be used for laboratory measurements or on-site techniques. At the crudest, a weighing device and a bucket can obtain two significant figures for a density value.

*Marinos Carburis, lieutenant-colonel in the Russian Army, organized the move of an enormous boulder called the Thunder Stone (Russian, Камень-Гром) from the Gulf of Finland in 1768 to [[Saint Petersburg]], [[Russia]] for the purpose of using it as a pedestal for the [[Bronze Horseman#Moving the Thunder Stone|Bronze Horseman]] statue. Based on the density of granite, the mass of the Thunder Stone has been estimated to be around 1500 tonnes. This was done by rolling it on bronze ball bearings on a track. It took an estimated 400 men nine months to move it.<ref>[http://cnum.cnam.fr/CGI/fpage.cgi?4KY28.19/351/100/432/0/0 "(French) Transport du piédestal de la statue de Pierre le Grand] ''La Nature'' magazine, second semester 1882. http://cnum.cnam.fr/CGI/fpage.cgi?4KY28.19/351/100/432/0/0.

*In 1997, Julian Richards teamed up with Mark Witby and Roger Hopkins to conduct several experiments to replicate the construction at [[Theories about Stonehenge#Construction techniques and design|Stonehenge]] for NOVA's ''Secrets of Lost Empires'' mini-series.

*Charles Love experimented with a 10-ton replica of a Moai on [[Easter Island]]. His first experiment found rocking the statue to walk it was too unstable over more than a few hundred yards. He then found that by placing the statue upright on two sled runners atop log rollers, 25 men were able to move the statue {{convert|150|ft|m}} in two minutes. Approximately 2.5 men pulled each ton.<ref>John Flenley and Paul G. Bahn (2003). ''The Enigmas of Easter Island: Island on the Edge'', p 150. ISBN 0-19-280340-9</ref>

*[[Austen Henry Layard]] organized an effort to transport two 10-ton colossal statues of a winged lion and a winged bull with a group of 300 men in 1847. He loaded them on a wheeled cart and towed them from [[Nimrud]] to the river and loaded on a barge, where it was sent to London. Approximately 30 men pulled each ton.<ref name="Mesopotamia 1995 p. 112-121">Time Life Lost Civilizations series: Time Life Lost Civilizations series: Mesopotamia: The Mighty Kings.(1995) p. 112–121</ref>

*[[Paul Emile Botta]] and Victor Place attempted to move two additional 30-ton colossi to Paris from [[Khorsabad]] in 1853. In order to facilitate their shipment to Paris, they were sawed in pieces and they still ran into problems. One of them fell into the [[Tigris]] river, never to be retrieved. The other made it to Paris.<ref name="Mesopotamia 1995 p. 112-121"/>

*[[Giovanni Battista Belzoni]] organized an effort to pull a 7.5-ton fragment of a statue of Ramses on rollers with a group of 130 men in 1815.

*[[Mark Lehner]] and NOVA organized an experiment to tow stones and to build a pyramid 9 meters wide by 9 meters deep by 6 meters high. They were able to tow a 2-ton block on a sledge across wood tracks with 12 to 20 men. Approximately 6 to 10 men pulled each ton. The pyramid was 54 cubic meters total estimated weight 135 tons. It was built out of 186 stones. The average weight of each stone was almost {{convert|1500|lb|abbr=on}} (.75 tons). They found that four or five men could use levers to flip stones less than a ton and roll them to transport them. 44 men took 22 days to complete the pyramid, including the carving of the stones. They used iron to carve the stones that wasn't available to the ancient Egyptians. Egyptians had to use copper. They also used a modern front end loader to accelerate the work on the lower courses. They were unable to use the front end loader to install the capstone, since it was too high and had to use levers to raise it to {{convert|20|ft|m}}.<ref>Lehner, Mark ''The Complete Pyramids'', London: Thames and Hudson (1997)p.202-225 ISBN 0-500-05084-8.</ref>

*In a 2001 exercise in experimental archaeology, an attempt was made to transport a large stone along a land and sea route from Wales to [[Stonehenge]]. Volunteers pulled it for some miles (with great difficulty) on a wooden sledge over land, using modern roads and low-friction netting to assist sliding, but once transferred to a replica prehistoric boat, the stone sank in [[Milford Haven]], before it even reached the rough seas of the [[Bristol Channel]].<ref>[[Theories about Stonehenge]]</ref>
