Thanks. I only spot watched.

Edit: I had no clue that lathes existed <1000 BC.

But now that I think of it, how else would they have made such ~perfect stone columns.

Stone columns of antiquity weren't turned on a lathe.

OK, maybe I jumped to an unwarranted conclusion.

So when did builders start turning columns on lathes?
