Nubs:
The ânubâ phenomena is a term used to describe the protruding knobs or bumps that are found on many ancient stone blocks and structures around the world. Some researchers have suggested that these nubs were used for various purposes, such as lifting, aligning, or locking the stones together. Others have argued that they are simply the remnants of the stone-cutting process, or that they have no functional significance at all.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the nub phenomena is that it appears across different cultures and continents, from Egypt to Peru, from Turkey to Cambodia. This has led some to speculate that there was a common source of knowledge or influence behind these ancient civilizations, or that they were somehow connected by a 'stone languageâ. The nub phenomena remains a mystery to this day.
Baalbek:
According to the web search results, the heaviest carved stone in the world is a manmade block that was found in a limestone quarry in Baalbek, Lebanon. It measures 64 feet by 19.6 feet by 18 feet, and weighs an estimated 1,650 tons. It is believed to date back to around 27 BC, when Baalbek was a Roman outpost called Heliopolis. The block was probably intended for use in a nearby temple for the god Jupiter, but it was never used, likely because it was too big to transport. It is the largest boulder known from antiquity.
