The King Bathtub Sculpted by Giants
The impossible colossal "King BathTub" - who really produced this monster?
According to everything we know about the 19th century, and specifically 1820s, this humongous bath tub is not supposed to exist. Of course it does, and I have quite a few reasons to question everything about this Russian bath tub besides its existence. For the traditional review type article of this impossible achievement of the early 19th century you can read the article called "Why Was Such a Colossal Bath Tub Built for Tsar Alexander I?"
In 1818 some civil engineer Betancourt supposedly requested Russian stone-cutter Samson Sukhanov to make this impossible item out of a single chunk of solid granite. The bath tub was to be made for Alexander I, the Tsar of Russia.
A few facts about this bath tub. It was made out of a single piece of granite weighing 352,740 lbs (160 metric tons). It was delivered from one of the islands in Finland to the Babolovo Palace. in Russia. The stone-cutter Sukhanov had to remove 120 tons of granite to give the bath tub its shape. It took Sukhanov 10 years to get the job done. The result of the stone-cutter's efforts was a polished granite bath tab with the following measurements -height: 6.4 ft, depth: 5 ft, diameter: 17.5 ft, weight: 106,000 lbs (48 metric tons). The walls of the tub are 18.9 inches thick. This is the optimal thickness to prevent the granite from braking when filled with 3,170 gallons of water. The building containing the bath tub was built around the tub upon completion of the tub works. The tub has a single drain hole which is approximately 1 inch in diameter. Below is this bath tub.
