Your lucky with the teens. You don't suffer as much lawyer DNA in your family.

Of course mechanical. It's so disappointing we can never know what machinery was in there. Those missing pieces will keep it a secret until we stumble on the technology ourselves. I'm solidly sold on the idea for several reasons but I think the most impactful observations were the 3D detail of the granite rings in the ascending and descending passages. Someone on here posted a 3D image of one of those parts. It was a very complex asymmetrical shape that clearly keyed into its neighboring limestone components. A beautiful example of the strength of asymmetrical polygonal puzzle like assembly. It screams vibration strength. Anyone who comprehends the incredible durability of that kind of construction can not deny thinking there is so much more to it than meets the eye. The idea of some genius level designers creating such complex shapes all for merely longevity of a passage to ensure grave robbers tens of thousands of years later would have an easier time passing through, is just sad. So much so that I won't engage anyone who wishes to argue it. I'm not a therapist and not qualified to guide anyone back from such a myopic obsession.
