Since I am not welcome on the science forum, I am posting this here in the hope that someone can give me some advice or comments.
I want to try to find the resonance or the resonating frequency of a rock. This is because I have this idea that the ancients used some kind of sound or other frequencies to lift and move these huge multi-ton sized rocks around the place. I think that each type(not size) of stone should have its own resonating frequency and if I can find that, then it may have some effect on the stone.
I want to see if we can discover some kind of resonance which if used correctly can help us understand how the ancients moved and placed their rocks over miles of terrain. Maybe even the Coral Castle guy Edward Leedskalnin used the same method.
I know Nothing about this topic, so please forgive my ignorance. But google has information readily available.
"How do you find the resonate frequency of a stone?
The easiest way to find the resonant frequencies is to place the object next to a speaker and also place a microphone attached to an oscilloscope next to the object. Have the speaker play a tone at a given volume, and then without changing the volume slowly change the pitch (or frequency)."
OK, thanks. I guess this is a huge subject and one which the oil industry and building engineering has to deal with every day.
Ive read about this technology in the past, some people suggest the tools they used to do this was the size of a normal flute, some say it was very large though, (like a tuba or horn).
I would not be surprised if past civilizations did have this technology, but the best course is just trying different frequencies on your own, sound is a complex science, ( I admit I dont know much about it), but I do know certain frequencies cause weird things to happen and also impact the human body.
The trick is having the right equipment to reproduce various frequencies, Id start at the highest and work your way down to the lowest(staring with small pebbles)

What equipment would I need to do this?
They used tools. They weren't retarded. They had 1000's of years of sitting around with no television to draw up plans on how to move a big rock, the smartest of them figured out how to do it. To them, it was an accomplishment and a challenge.
some of this stuff is impossible due to the weight of the stones. no matter how long you have to think about it if you do not have the technology then it cannot be done. the trees or logs are still going to be crushed by the weight of mega stones.

I wonder if that may be why we have lost so many of these ancient secrets? We are pretty dumb today, glued to TVs, and other entertainment all the time.

Usually, the thing that is pointed to most often as to why we are the way we are now, is the destruction of the library in Alexandria, Egypt, in about 48 BC by Julius Caesar.
But, frankly, let’s face it humans have been human from day one. The vast lot of us aren’t interested in learning, we’re too busy putting a roof over our heads, and food on the table and raising our young.
The activities necessary to do those things are often in polar opposite of studying the great questions of our time.
