[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 968527, member: 52972"] KL, The comment about not discovering steel yet, was a tongue-in-cheek remark to Bill Barber about them not using rebar because it was too heavy for the Martians to bring on their UFO's..:bwahaha: The fact is we have not found any evidence of the making or use of steel in ancient times, but until we do, we can only assume they did not have the knowledge or technology to make steel. All of these ancient pillars and structures were made of cut/carved stone, not concrete. Ancient Romans reportedly discovered concrete, but used it more like a mortar than for casting large building blocks etc. Lacking steel, they could have used other metals available to them, or even fibers to reenforce the concrete. To them concrete was a just a form of masonary glue. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
