A 23 year old sculpted this.

What's your excuse?

If there ever was an argument for aliens, it is the heritage of monumental art and architecture that simply cannot be duplicated today with known technology. A lot of it HAD to have been created, albeit for the grandiosity and psychopathy of the complicit dynastic ruling classes, with some kind of 3D modeling, secret science and energy carving, anti gravity, or inter dimensional transforms.

As usual usual, the secret knowledges and technologies were held close to the chest of the various covert societies, just like today.

That is Vienna's newest fountain
Wow! Vienna is highly regarded for its classical visual art, but is absolutely peerless as being the center of music in what is actually called the "Viennese Era," which ran from 1750 to 1830 and included Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Schubert was actually born there.

There is absolutely nothing that was done before that we can't do today. That includes Damascus steel and and Roman concrete.

The error is "I can't figure out how they did this with primitive tools!" - are you SURE they only had primitive tools? In 200 years time, people will be asking "how did they make this mechanical watch without a 3d CAD tool and laser cutting? Must be aliens!"

Most people don't even understand how a computer chip is made, although everybody uses them. Your typical person, TODAY doesn't know how an incandescent light bulb works, although that's trivial to understand, although the manufacturing process is complex.

We haven't lost technology, we've lost methods, because we have better methods. We don't bother with vacuum tubes, because transistors are a million times better. We don't bother with analog because digital is better. We might go back to analogue though because for niche areas, it's useful. We can do multiplication with analog circuits almost instantaneously, but the result has a precision error.

@GNL

It's Mont St. Michele in northern France.

This marble statue is named the Release from Deception, or Il Disinganno. It was painstakingly carved by Genoese sculptor Francesco Queirolo and was produced over a period of 7 years from 1752-1759

That truly is amazing.
