Hey guys, today we are going to look at this ancient Hindu temple called Preah Vihear in Cambodia, and we see there is this INSANE amount of rocks piled everywhere. These blocks were once a part of this 1000 year old temple, but due to a war between Thailand and Cambodia, most of the temple has been destroyed. But, these dismantled blocks show us some very interesting insights about ancient rock cutting technology.
Look at the amount of Cuts you see on these stone blocks, there are so many sizes and shapes. There are square slots, or cube like cuts. There are circular holes, look at these perfect circular holes drilled in. How was this possible 1000 years ago? And here, you can see this T shaped cut carved at one of the edges of this stone block. What could have been the purpose of this?
May be liquid metal was poured into it to clamp it to its neighboring block. This is commonly known as Keystone Cut, or Ancient metal clamping technology. We can put 2 blocks side by side with t shaped cuts and then pour molten metal into them and they will become inseparable, as the metal solidifies to become a clamp.
It is also possible that this is a female slot and the neighboring block was set up with a T like male projection, so they both could fit perfectly. All these fittings are on the inside of the blocks, this is why we do not see them on the outside. On the outside, if you see the walls, you do not see details like this. Here you see something very interesting, a small wedge like stone block placed inside. This is a very interesting technology employed in this temple. What is the purpose of this? Normally, you would think the builders accidentally left a hole and later they covered it up with a small block. But ancient builders of Cambodia were master stone masons.
