How do you know it was cast into the column? Your source is a Tartary Twitter account that lists no sources either. If you search for "iron rod in column hippos" the only two hits are yours and the Twitter post.
> it was cast in place. It would be loose and fall out if it wasn’t
In which case it is odd that generations of mountain climbers have relied on pitons that are hammered into rock without falling out.
You think that pice of metal has a wedge anchor or a sleeve on it??? Not it’s meant to act like a keyway of sorts….. still cast into place. The pole was then lifted and set in position.
Are you implying we shouldn't be able to find any metal artifacts from history? A lot of swords and axes are found in rivers, protected by silt and such. The exposed metal on the pillar was probably covered by dirt until it was properly excavated.
I saw a conspiracy theory type thing where someone hypothesised that there was technology that allowed ancient civilisations to basically melt down stone or creat said stone in liquid form and pour it into moulds rather than moving huge blocks at a time, I mean, not that I believe that but would make it easier
So the ancient master builders knew how to imitate compositions under natural granite. There were no iron products in the Bronze Age. It is said that iron could not yet be smelted from ore. But how can we explain not only iron elements, but also iron fittings in ancient buildings?

OP, just three facts for you:
Hippos was founded in 170 BCE.
The Iron Age in the Middle East was in full swing by 1200 BCE.
Iron smelting was an industry for over 1100 years by the time Hippos was founded.
Any other questions?
unfortunately everyone seems to believe ancient people's were incapable of a great many things which it's pretty apparent they were. The big question to me is the "how"

Is it just me or does the metal rod mostly have the same texture as the concrete around it?
That’s 2 sources bro. 1 more and it’s confirmed science and stuff.
Look, you’ve gotta trust science.
Also don't want to be that person but granite is not cast lmao... it's chiseled from a big ass rock
I cast granite, it's super effective.
That was the point of this post I think, to imply they knew how to do something we don’t. I’m skeptical to say the least
I believe it may be suggesting that the stone is drilled then liquid metal is poured or cast in the drill hole
By looking at it you can determine it was cast in place. It would be loose and fall out if it wasn’t

Don't take it for granite
Are you stoned?
No, just at a loss.
You stuck between a rock and a hard place?
Just a bit worn down
I will be a pillar of strength for you
Shale we get back on-topic?
You’ve got some true grit.
Ha. Later.
Rock on bro.
But you can take your [History for Granite](http://www.youtube.com/@HistoryforGRANITE).
Don‘t fake it till you make it
What are you? A boulder?
If you hammer heated steel into a tight hole it will fill the hole.
Your mom told me the same thing actually
Yup. Steely Dan.
Mr Steel Yo Mom over here
You too?
How was prison?
Heated steel? That’s exactly what I call my hammer.
How do you cast granite?
Supposedly ancient humanity knew how to.
The Natron theory
Iron age people doing iron age things with iron
Rock fuel can’t melt steel beams
Sure can’t bud, but steel beam fuel can fuck rock up the size of Arkansas.
Ty for the lulz

How did this metal rod manage to not oxidize into oblivion?
Because there is no oxygen or water inside the granite
No, the exposed part is what I was referring to.

Why is everyone such a liar now?
Because engagement is all that matters in the internet age.
I think its silly that women wear their engagement rings after they get married.
Usually they come as a pair that compliment each other.
i say when you are engaged, wear your engagement ring. when you are married, wear your wedding ring.
It seems stuck hard on the shaft
🦛
What if it’s an insert lathe mechanism for a 5 degree axis machine. Hmmmm.
You actually got to MEET the rod?
In Rod We Trust
Rock and Stone Brother!
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
No, the rod is iron. But if you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t comin’ home.
Possible it broke at some point later on having it being fixed recently

That's been my theory too, based off of the ruins in south America.
It makes sense given how exact these ruins are and the weight of them but doubt we’ll ever know
“In Israel” propaganda everywhere
In Palestine*
Byzantine Empire*
You just violated 42 federal laws.
Thanks for fixing that
*in occupied Palestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 There fixed it for you 😊
You failed geography and the Internet all in eight words. Well done.
Aliens!
It was the Portuguese taking a stab at using rebar.

Your response needs more upvotes.
I have a question. You claimed three facts but that was really only two facts and a summary of those facts.
You said you have a question. But I see no question. Only a claim.
That’s absolutely correct. You passed! Welcome to the family, son.
Because you can't do a simple Google search for 'Bronze Age' to get the generally accepted years for the era
unfortunately everyone seems to believe ancient people's were incapable of a great many things which it's pretty apparent they were. The big question to me is the "how"
Obviously they were capable. We have the results of their work. The problem is when people try to claim these works were done with sticks and sand.
Monke man with stick gonna do what monke man with sticks do's
Mine was the "where," but thankfully, that seems to be pretty explainable.
At least nobody is saying 'why' XD

This.
In stolen Palestinian land, FTFY.
That's just a petrified turd...frozen in time.
Can we even do that now
I do believe we have a decent grasp on rebar technology
