The working theory is they just had copper tools to cut and shape the stone. But copper isn't exactly a hard metal. My theory is they must have had diamond cutting bits. After all diamond, like gold exists in it's natural form, it doesn't need to be smelted or combined with other chemicals to extract it.
because it wasn't necessary.
Considering that many people have replicated shaping these types of rocks with copper and stone tools, why exactly do you think they would have needed diamond cutting bits?
I'd love to see someone replicate this with stone or copper tools.

There are many more of these experiments.
So, back to my question. Why exactly do you think they would have needed diamond cutting bits?
Thanks for these links. I learned something this morning.
