[@stephenjosephson2013]

If this has been mentioned before, my apologies: I've done a lot of injection-mold design, and often thought that the 'knobs' found on so many megalithic stones resemble the 'gates' through which material enters the mold. Other indentations look precisely as though the unhardened material was pressed upon, to adjust or re-position the mass, prior to hardening. This surface 'stucco' look is found in many places, along with the scooping and molded clay-like appearance of solid rock. I agree that Cymatic technology is a good candidate for the method used to de-stabilize the material.

[@MechanicalMooCow]

Stephen Josephson I agree, but also, as a carpenter they remind me also of tenons. Iirc, the columns at stonehenge also have these notches in them, with matching mortices in the lintels. That could be another possibility.

[@00cedge]

sounds very plausible but almost all the stones I've seen are different shapes or sizes which would mean custom moulds for each one? Which would make the process kinda pointless

[@cleverclogs2244]

The knobs are the vestiges of supporting props that allow a stone to be undercut. I think they aren't completely fettled off as they are handy stays for ropes; props that allow ropes to be bound around the stone; pivot points; perches for birds, and may have been regarded as 'belly-buttons' from the 'birthing' of the shaped stone from Mother Earth.

[@rikirikibis]

@@cleverclogs2244 This is the first interesting theory I read in this forum. This is not bad at all. I believe the builders used high speed saws to cut the rocks and boulders. The scooping marks found in assuan and cuzco suggest they used a sort of pneumatic or vibrating hammer with large blades. The marks would have smoothed with time (thousands of years). But even with a pneumatic or vibrating hammer, you need some support when undercutting the stones. The pillars may have been broken at the last minute leaving the knowbs. I would expect them to be removed with the same tools, but you may be right that they played some role also in the positioning of the blocks.

[@cleverclogs2244]

@@rikirikibis Thank you! I too think the scoop marks were made with vibrating chisels. The seemingly drilled holes were also made with vibration, as there is no evidence of rotation, and the ends of the holes are often star shaped, as if the cutting tool has begun to crimp into itself. I spend a lot of time thinking about these things!! 🤯🤪🤣

I read an article a while back about a bird watcher who stumbled across a species of Kingfisher deep in Peru or around that area. He noticed that it made it's nest/burrow by the banks of a river/creek/stream, not in dirt/earth/clay as do most Kingfishers, but in the face of solid rock. It was a perfectly round hole. He asked a local in this remote area about this and was told that the birds use a local plants leaves, apply the leaves, or perhaps chews and uses the moisture ... applies it to the rock and it makes it soft. This guy then set out to find said plants. He was walking to someones place, that apparently these plants were along the way, but he got lost, went the long way .. bla bla bla ... got to this other persons place, without finding the plants ... but later noticed the metal hooks on his hiking boots had all but melted away.... he tried to back track to see if he could work out where he had gone and what what he had walked through to cause his metal hooks to melt ... but couldn't ......... End of story, I am looking for the article again .... it was supposed that this plant was used to soften rocks by the ancients. Even used to make them molten/liquid and able to pour the rock into moulds.

A temple in India has stone chains hanging from it's outdoor corners. The circular links are made from different types of stone. This seems impossible unless the links were molded around eachother in a softened state.

Sierra H - I am completely with you on this one. I have reached an exactly similar conclusion to you. The ancients had some way to render hard objects into malleable material like a plastiscene and so shape them easily, and their surfaces would remain separate but blend together. Or they could vibrate them (using sound?) so that the surfaces moulded together. Just because we don't have or use this technology now DOES NOT mean that it doesn't exist. I also believe that the ancients could move very heavy objects with weights of 2,000-3,000 tonnes using sound to change their physical property of mass so that they could be literally 'pushed' into place. This is how giant megaliths were moved across the countryside by ordinary people, and temples at Baalbeck and walls in Siberia built with stone blocks weighing upto 3,000 tonnes which were moved up slopes.

[@Bart-Did-it]

😂

[@juicefastforhealth]

You are correct. As a past archaeologist, I left the field because of all the deceit and stupidity. It was done using several if not many kinds of frequencies, in my opinion. They had a frequency to soften the stone, a way of scooping it while soft from the Mother Stone, a way (most likely through frequency again) of making it weightless, a way of transporting it while weightless from one area to another (flying it with their crafts?), a way of positioning it within a mold, and then another frequency to reharden it, which puffed it out a bit and gave it the smooth muffin look across the top with the mold imprint all around each edge that looks almost like a thumbprint. That's for the huge stones. For the cut grooves and squares and other shapes, once again, directed frequency.

What few people who are not quarrymen realize is that when monolithic stone first comes out of its original bed rock and still has its original moisture called quarry sap it is very soft and much easier to work. With prolonged exposure to air it becomes quite hard. The ancient Greeks had to build the twenty thousand ton Parthenon in only eight or nine years before the marble reached its present hardness.

As a life long stone mason myself that has spent three months in Peru studying the stone work with an open mind and I can tell you there is no simple solution. Ollantytambo is my favorite of all the temple sites. Ollantaytambo was being constructed when the Spanish invaded so it is a good in process study. Two of the stones were hauled 4 miles up hill from the quarry that weighed 75 tons plus with 1 mile still to go. 20 percent of the stones were fractured by the Inca masons to be shed off. What hit me was the question, "Why didn't they shed the 20 percent back at the quarry?" Moving the stone, just like cutting them was so easy they did not worry over it. If you go to Sascayhuman there is an incredible amount of masonry carving and stone work all over the surrounding hills for miles around the incredible temple site itself as well. What happened there is technologies that have been lost.

The formation of granite and diorite stone requires the slow cooling of huge massess of molten lava, deep underground, at huge pressure.

[@duckpuddles]

Rikrikibis is there not a possibility that certain sands, which I assume can be any material formed by erosion, could not be bound together using some long forgotten catalyst to give the same effect as pressure and molten larva that you describe I cannot see how those massive stones with all kinds of odd shapes could have been put in position and removed to shave to fit maybe dozens of times using the tools they had available.

[@freshimpactco.8698]

It is something which I have pondered over for a while now... There are great questions surrounding the scoop like marks in various ancient qurey locations around the world.. With very obvious and seemingly effortless intricate detailed and acurate cutting and drill like holes which could only be achieved by a long forgotten and lost technology, our ancient ancestors built perfect stone constructions without mortar. There are also seems to be actual movement of stones by some unknown method of transportation, so large we can only wonder in marvel at how they managed some of their construction. I would consider water drills as one possible method.. circular saw marks are evident, however the diameter and width of the blades used lends itself to the idea that they had advanced saws beyond the capabilites of what we have today and what seems to be a way in which stones were removed much like a knife to butter! In fact I would suspect some stone work is from pouring the stone into some kind of mould like device... its the only thing I have managed to come up with as an explanation to some of these artifacts and stone structures. So whats the low down? There seems to be a number of these methods employed for the various masonry works and whether this is due or attributed to a particular civilization or geographical location, I would probably be against that notion for the reason that the methods I suspect were used are evident in all megalithic cultures... or at least some of these are observed... I would love to go back the countless 10s of thousands of years to see who did it and how it was done lol. One thing is for sure, ancient civilisation communicated globally and they very likely traded amongst themselves. I would also agree that the idea of stone age man must be thrown out the window so we can investigate these ideas constructively.

Now how did they cut, fashion and grind the stone? Such a big mystery especially when you are so desperate to link up with extra-terrestrials and lost technologies better than our own.

[@williamgrimberg2510]

Usually when I’ve seem something carved from quarried stone it has sharp vanes of different minerals running through it like marble , which from these pictures or videos I don’t see any. So that leaves me to believe that these are molded with maybe a thick slurry of crushed stone or cement. They may have been molded right in the ground where the earth has also some clay / earth mix then they removed the soil from around it when their mix was cured or they were done with that section of wall . Looking at these structures, it looks like they work one corse and molded one stone at a time while using something like straight boards to hold the exposed side in place , pore the mix to a certain level, let cure , remove the board and then repeat the process for the next one next to it . The slight side outward bulges of each block might be from the weight of the slurry against the earth/ clay mold . Just a thought.

what you see is not stone, it's mostly ancient concrete (much like modern geopolymer) poured into moulds probably using baskets or buckets, and then smoothed or shaped while the concrete partially sets - the ingredients of ancient concrete were readily available such sand, gravel, mud, clay and volcanic ash to produce ancient concrete that we see as limestone, sandstone and granite holes in ancient concrete are easy to produce using timber or copper rods which can be easily knocked out after the concrete solidifies

[@robertknapp2118]

search KZbin for "Green Concrete" and "Geopolymer"especially when volcanic ash is used as a binder for the composite material the amateur geologists call as granite

[@schumannresonanceswithverte]

Romans made concrete, that is correct. "-Crete" comes form the island of Crete. However, these allegedly "poured" blocks are ALL granite, or other pure stone, not concrete. Over time, the lime and morter will wear-away, leaving a rough surface, like sandpaper, as the aggregate becomes exposed over time. All concrete over time will do this, exposing the interior unevenly. Those who deal with concrete will tell you this. Clearly you don't deal with concrete. These stones are uniformly smooth, and don't give-way like concrete does. These stones aren't poured, because, well, they get poured into a form, don't they? How did these early "pourers" create these rounded forms? poured concrete forms are linear, steraightlines, with obvious telltales that the material was poured. Again, workers in concrete know this very well. Creating rounded forms necessary to create these rounded shapes is JUST AS BAFFLING.

[@robertknapp2118]

modern concrete is based on portland cement and that type of concrete has a short lifetime such as a few hundred years at best, but ancient concrete based on volcanic ash has thousands or more years lifespan.

The 'knobs' make an otherwise flat surface have some texture and focuses the person's attention to the almost artful and amazing precision of different geometric patterns used to join each megalithic stone. Woodworkers use beautiful joinery such as dovetailed joints which have a very pleasing visual aesthetic but are also strong and practical.

[@ray7940]

One person had stated that these rocks could have been originally molded and the knobs are where the mold had been poured from, another site had these knobs that would align shadows onto ledges throughout the day like a clock, they are very intriguing nonetheless

[@ElveeKaye]

We are told that people carved these incredible structures using only tools of bronze and copper and stone. Alright, then, let's see a demonstration of that process. Shouldn't be hard to reproduce the kinds of tools that were supposedly used, and carve a chunk of basalt, diorite, or granite into a perfectly smooth, rounded shape with a perfectly square cavity in the middle. Yet nobody has ever done such a demonstration, and I doubt they ever will.

[@fixbertha]

How about a demonstration on softening stone? That seems equally unlikely. Also, there are obvious quarries in many locations to which much stone can be linked. And there are megalithic sites all over the world that show identical skills in shaping and moving huge stones. I heard an anthropologist say that you can't swing a cat without hitting some sort of "impossible" stonework. Bottom line is that we have no idea how or when this kind of stonework was done.

Part 2 has a pic that’s significant with showing clues with how it was formed. The knobs show a draft angle, some steep and others less steep. That’s normally used with molds to help a break away release. Finished large blocks appear impossible to move after curing/setting. Hence suggests using some type of mold support for pouring. Knobs would hold mold panels in place till removal. Draft angle doesn’t allow mold panels to stick. The steeper the angle the easier to break away. Finishing the edges with typical cement type troll tools can be done while poured block becomes mooshy, like how cement is finished. This could be why we see hand prints and art drawn in finished blocks. Realize today’s cement builders use certain tools to finish their work which in concept can be applied to a different type of material similar to cement. Perhaps focus should be on the material that can be processed like cement! Twitter: @marty_didier

[@sygrovesteve5819]

The Olaytatambo (sp?) photo shows narrow vertical stones between enormous , roughly rectangular stones. To me it seems obvious that it was an easy way to complete the "wall" when the huge stones would need a huge 'melter' on hand to get them to slump sufficiently to meet together. If you only have a small 'melter' on site then this is a clever way to do it. All this very pre 'Inca' stonework was industrial in nature and the tools they had made stonework like this quite easy. Notice the projections on many stones near their two bottom corners.......this is exactly where one would apply a 'melter' nozzle to the stone to get it to slump into the shape of the stones below. The projections I guess, are the nozzle shapes, where the melting would be most intense, left when the melter is removed. I say industrial, because if esthetics was important they would have knocked off the nozzle projections when they were finished, to make a smoother wall. This tecnology is seen used alll around the globe, and even in the pyramids.

[@wheelmanstan]

It's pretty simple, if they couldn't melt stone or soften it then they developed a cement that was so ingenious that it comes across as stone today. But if you're making stones casts and building monuments that need hundreds and even thousands of them then you would think we would see a pattern and jig to drastically speed up production. But they're all different, all different size. And people might chock it up to artistic expression but most of these stone walls look more practical than artistic. Their lines don't necessarily flow into each other and look as if different eyes laid each stone. Some stone looks like they were softened and sculpted into position, some is even vitrified, while others are clearly the product of very impressive machining. The serapeum boxes, puma punku h-blocks, that elephantine island stone "booth" for example. They were so good at it that they were show-offs with it. And they even had machine tolerances, for what? I think some cultures used a chemical to soften the edges and faces of the rough chiseled stone and once laid into place their weight did the rest. Others had giant machines as we not only see the overcuts and tool feed striations but we even see areas where stone was removed from rock faces like blocks of butter. They could cut stone like a 3-d printer blazes through plastic. You see the nodules on the soft appearing stone and that could occur when removing the wood beam that helped put it in place, the suction pulls some of the material outward upon removal (just a theory). Other stones have sharp inside corners and the list of impressiveness goes on and on. There were probably quite a few very advanced civilizations that have come and gone, died or left, and we're just another that thinks we're too big to fail. We'll probably leave behind the Panama Canal and Washington Monument and the next modern men will be scratching their heads about it like we scratch our heads about the Great Pyramid and Sphinx. And by the time they see the Forefathers faces they might be shaped into grizzly bear faces by then...who knows.

[@rikirikibis]

What about a 3rd option: the developed some serious stone shaping machinery like the ones used in Egypt for the pyramids? It the pre-egyptian civilization could cut 60 tons granite blocks and move them almost 70 meters high with incredible accuracy, less than 0,1 mm every 10 meters, than shaping blocks to build walls should have been pretty easy.

[@duckpuddles]

Perhaps they found this special bonding material which would act like cement on all types of sand, they would mix it up and put it in a bag of linen or animal skin so it would mould perfectly into the shape of the blocks already cast. The bulge shape of the walls in Peru and the knobs where perhaps the liquid drained out maybe evidence of this. The other possibility is that by removing the cloth when it is half cured it would be easy to cut with simple tools, eventually hardening to leave us with the impression that they must have had greater tool technology than they actually had.

[@ToddRickey]

Many of the megaliths displayed do indeed appear to have been molded by some agency, applied at the time of construction. Now, the stone in most if not all cases seems to be igneous rock of various composition. Maybe some of it is limestone, which could be softened or in fact dissolved by hydrochloric acid. Such a solution, or carbonic acid might be readily obtainable, though neither would work. But what other than heat could soften the igneous (fire-made) stone? Other questions arise for the stone-softening hypothesis: what could be the material for the stones' cast or form? If it was softened by melting, the cast would have to be impervious to high heat, if by acid, it would withstand very powerful corrosion? What else might soften such hard and dense igneous rock? The two softening agents mentioned so far would cause a great deal of recrystallization and/or mixing of the original groundmass. Any softening method would result in such changes in the stone near the surfaces only. Is this condition observed in the stones? Many of the ashlars are quite massive, the question of transportation remains even if they were somehow softened. There is another possibility, powered tooling. This method would simply cut into the rock, without the 'side-effects' as noted above. Power for the tools, which would have to be hard as gemstones, could be from a number of sources. One we are familiar with is electricity, which might have a few sources, like batteries. Ultrasonic vibrations might be used, derived from vibrating metal, etc. It certainly is enigmatic. These are a few suggestions. Certainly though, an ancient epoch with advanced knowledge is lost to history and was worldwide in extent, at least in communication.

Nobody ever seems to ask the rather obvious question: If these people had "highly advanced technology", why use stone in the first place? Why not use exotic alloys, plastics, kevlar, or carbon fiber, etc.. The evidence points not so much to high technology, but the presence of beings with a good supply of brute force and time.... like Nephilim, which we have evidence of for example, using simple levers and mechanical advantage, which is a technology more consistent with all the evidence.

[@annaluca761]

I wondered the same. If (!) there was any highly advanced civilization before us probably they used other materials too, BUT based on scientists speculations STONES are the ONLY things that would remain after humanity disappear. See the "Life After People" documentary that actually concluds only the Pyramids and the wall of China would survive for millions of years (covered by plants sand though). No man made material remain forever...only constructions made of stone which is made by nature itself we just reshape it. (sorry for my English)

The fact that natural occurring alloys have been found near Volcanoes seems to suggest that people learned about alloys by accident. You are wrong there. Ancient people were actually smarter than us, because in each successive generation we lose DNA. This means we lose traits each generation as we solidify which traits to pass on.

Your not talking about the "scientists" who contribute to the dumbed down State approved textbooks for elementary school students where you might learn about something like "metallurgy". Far as I know it is questionable where the roots of metallurgy are in the timeline according to some mainstream scientists and historians who question it, I'm not just pulling it out of my ass. LAH Russia researchers did their own study of this if I remember correctly. All metal oxidizes eventually with few exceptions but anything made of steel or iron will eventually disappear and most of our buildings are built with this material. Doesn't seem likely that buildings were made of giant blocks of gold or silver. Mainstream History (choke) Channel has even had their own mainstream scientists say that even a city like NYC would be completely consumed by the Earth in 10,000 years and that theory seems reasonable considering what happened to the Twin Towers in seconds. What about cities that are much older than that? What would be left of them? Not much apparently due to the scarcity of historical cities mainstream science agrees upon.
