Constructability audits of mainstream ancient-construction claims.
Each audit takes the published numbers — their papers, their records, their consensus — and runs the material-and-supply check any real construction project gets before the first block moves. No alternative authorship. No alien intervention. No lost civilizations. Just a falsifiable arithmetic test of what a published method needs against what the documented record supplies.

Water, rope, labor, tools, and granite follow with later episodes.
Every input is flagged as sourced, derived, or assumption, and all math is shown. The headline figures are the anchored, conservative numbers; sensitivity ranges and ceiling cases are labeled as such. Each document lists its sources.
The math is on the table on purpose. If the arithmetic is wrong, the document is wrong — that's why it's public. Open an issue and show where. That's how this gets better.
