For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v8).

This makes a lot of sense and makes me wonder how incredible we were, that the animal shelters of our past civilizations are considered worthy of the royalty and clergy of the newer civilizations. We have lost a lot
Our farm had a horse and cattle barn pig pens etc next to a stream. The barns were laid out a a"U", facing South opposite to the cold north winds. The house was away from the barns and higher to the west of the barns. The cattle were in the lower pasture for grazing, red by a spring at the bottom and 2000 feet east away from the barn stream. Your theory jives with our farm layout. The crops were on the south side of the hill to catch the sun.
Nice! Your farm was planned out with logic! I'm glad that you found my video and found a common thread with it! I've also lived in agricultural areas and I've seen so much of this truth. -H
excellent idea about the core sample. if mammoth dung or other extinct animal's was found, it could date the stonework. in my opinion this structure like so many others around the world is pre-iceage.
Genius perspective! This explains the animal patterns in the stones too. There are Pumas and possibly other patterns lost to ruin that are built into the walls.
you understand this is all Sci fi right? this b.s. is to keep your mind busy. they tell you they understand dinosaurs and millennial in time about dates, ages, cultures, etc., etc., but yet understanding how a block was made is completely out of hand. absolutely ridiculous.
I can assure you, all that you been told is a lie. trying to figure this out is Luke trying to figure out how little people got into a box that lights up and tells you informationabout past blocks.. THEYRE ARE NO LITTLE PEOPLE IN THERE.
I have spent my life working with horses, living on and around farms. The plausibility of your theory is awesome. The best part is that you offer a way to test your theory. The only thing I see that you definitely got wrong was the title. Nothing ugly about your theory.
I was going to have one of the mammoths with his tongue hanging out and one of his tusks twisted downward,, but then I thought that THAT would have been a little over the top!
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 ps, the barn on our property was built in 1701. It has three very thick stone walls and opens to the south. The old manor house is up on the hill. The fields were to the north with the barn and animals to the south, downstream.
Nice story but the INCA had nothing to do with building these walls. This same stone work can be found throughout the world. The cover stones on the smallest pyramid in Giza are exactly the same. This same stone work also is found at Osaka Castle and on Easter Island.
I was so excited to find your video because it's been a thought of mine that it would make sense for humans to domesticate extinct megafauna such as Mastodons, Mammoths, Glyptodons, Giant Sloths, Giant Camels, Paraceratherium, et al. We domesticate living megafauna, after all. In fact, I wonder if humans owe our global expansion to certain extinct megafauna. They'd be indispensable for keeping us above thickets, swamps, and reeds; providing meat, milk, warmth, tendons, hides, and even emergency hydration (blood); offering a certain protection from carnivores, carrying us across vast distances, etc. They could haul lumber and pull stones. They could dig to reach water, or depending upon the animal; carve burrows large enough to shelter man and beast. They'd have kept humans out of reach of thorns, poisonous plants, scorching/freezing earth, and venomous creatures. When I think about how easy it is to imprint upon mammals during infancy, I can't help but believe humans would've utilized every creature they possibly could.
Exactly! and Thank You. It's for creative thinking open minded viewers like you,, that I keep creating and publishing my intriguing megalithic perspectives!
Great idea! I like it. But Im left wondering why they chose to make so many tricky cuts. interlocked is one thing, but 12 sided? It seems excessive for such a pragmatic structure.
Interesting analysis and better than most. I wonder if soil/rock drill core samples from within the 'shelter' could reveal if the area was used for the purpose you present? One question I never hear asked in relation to the amazing stone masonry from antiquity is as follows: Given this type of masonry, not replicable today even using our technology, can be found in India, South America, Italy, Turkey, China, Japan, Egypt, Easter Island etc. and supposedly these peoples were isolated from each, why was the knowledge lost? I can accept that one maybe two groups could face events that result in losing such a valuable skill. I cannot accept that everyone of these past peoples lost this ability/knowledge. Why was it not preserved in at least one past group of ancient people? In my mind it is a skill as valuable as making fire or smelting iron, I find it very odd that it was lost.
Oh you can bet it wasn't lost, just kept secret from us. See here you have to be in a secret society to know these things and fair better than the rest of society. There's coming another reset soon and it will all start over again unless this is the time our Heavenly Father takes us home. Blessings✨
You seem to have a true and curious mind. I recommend that you watch this video. It is the first of 8 chapters in by Amazon booklet "The Ori-Genes of Mankind'. Yes,, I did the videos first and then published the booklet as well. I hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/OIWaeEw-1lw/w-d-xo.html Thank You for watching!
Yeah world gets reset; powers that be have bunkers and spacecraft in a now stone age world. Right now in this current era it seems that this type of thing would be easy to imagine. Is this the true cycle of history..? Why would obvious histories be covered up otherwise?
It’s made from a slow cooling stone pushed up from volcanic activity, maybe when this was built it was still in the cooling process and was easier to work with
Pre deluge cultures all seem to point to a well traveled advanced society. Impossible, to what’s publicly known anyway, stone work located in multiple societies. Similar images and shapes used across the world in buildings and monolithic structures.
The next time I'm in Cusco, I will try again to get an inside tour 'beyond the Religious Art Museum'. Last time there, I simply didn't sense that I would be allowed to learn anything about the other side/inside of the stones.
I love your videos and the way you come up with intriguing theories and back them up with evidence and high quality animations. Great work. I think the title of this video needs work because it isn't going to perform well in search results with the current format. The video is about the 12 sided stone and I think it's important to have 12 sided stone in the title, tags and description of the video for best search performance.
Hatun Rumiyoc is the correct name for the entire 3 sided stone structure and I am implying that it's original design intent is as an ugly livestock shelter. Thanks for Watching!
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 on thing is sure hatun as house and rumiyoc is romjaik=ruins of . háta=back of, hátán= on the back of hatan rumiyoc = on the back of it has ruins, on the back of ruins magyar=major language th-cam.com/video/oHadqB_eGmo/w-d-xo.html
I think the 3 sided wall must be built normally by stacking rocks but some catastrophic event must have altered the rocks composition making it jelly like and buckle on its weight covering the gaps to form the puzzle structure we see today, The bulge on some rocks or parts of wall must be because of the same process. The same structures can be found around the globe stating the event must be global but its severe effects (making jelly rocks) were limited to an area under which these stone walls happened to exist. Not trying to discredit if it was designed and built by engineers. Just a hypothesis.
I believe these walls are 10,000 years plus. I too believe the walls were super heated, you can see the weak parts of the stones that protrude outward.
I have done some sculpting in my time and worked with stone carvers. There is no way we could have carved such blocks. Even if I were working with something as light and easy to carve as styrofoam I would find it impossible to carve any of these blocks and fit them together. The only explanation is that they were made out of soft clay that later hardened into granite.
The only reason you think it was impossible to carve these stones is that you do not know how they did it. I know that skilled craftspeople can do amazing things with simple tools. As a builder and an engineer, I am sure that cutting and trimming these stones is not extremely difficult. It only requires time, training, skill and experience. Some local beer would probably help too.
Interesting take on the issue. First time I've heard it. I don't know enough about building placement to agree or disagree with you. But, it would be nice to do some digging in that area and get those core samples that you speak of. Thanks for contributing a new take on this. I cannot get over how much these pillow-faced stones represent smaller stone pathways here that are made by pouring cement into bags and placing and pressing each bag soft cement into the shape of a walkway. The cement bags, once hardened, do take on this kind of pillow look. But, these blocks are not cement. They are granite. They were not poured. They were carved. BUT, if this really was a race of giants, why haven't we dug up bones? If we can find bones that belonged to the dinosaurs, then we can certainly find bones of giants who died and were buried. But, we haven't found them. So, there's strike one in your theory about a race of giants.
@Indrid Cold That’s not what most people are talking about when they say “ a race of giants “. Being 7’ tall doesn’t really give a significant advantage when you’re moving stones that weigh many tons.
While the layout may be in fact strategic , the use of these megalithic blocks to do so is NOT STRATEGIC and is eradic overkill . Let alone the lack of technology and process you nor anyone can ansewr to.
Our second farm was 1000 feet up the hill from the first one. The barns were again U shaped layout with a barnyard facing south. The house is 200 feet east of the barns. A small llake north of the barns fed a stream that went by the barns and down the rocky hill. At the bottom of the hill 2000 feet away was a dfferent stream that flowed west to east from which the cattle and horses drank.
Good reasoning. Big walls were always infrastructure projects - and cattle beasts were the most valuable assets (for milk, manure, labour, transport, food).
INTERESTING THEORY... and COMPELLING ARGUMENT ! That said, I DO find myself wondering the following: 1. IF these walls were "hastily-built", then WHY are the FACES ROUGH (as expected) but the JOINERY UTTERLY SUPERB? 2. WHAT was the NEED for such PRECISE joinery? Was it because the Mammoths were HITTING the walls from the INSIDE, trying to get OUT? Was the entire area EARTHQUAKE PRONE? 3. WHY was the ENTIRE 4th wall utterly MISSING? This would then required a massive WOODEN DOOR or FENCE, which makes LITTLE sense if the Mammoths were capable of hammering away at the STONE walls, then they would certainly be strong enough to make short work of a WOODEN FENCE on the 4th wall, and you CAN'T say "there ISN'T any 4th wall at ALL", because that would suggest that the Mammoths WEREN'T prone to escaping - that they were somehow DOMESTICATED?? And if they were DOMESTICATED and they had THICK HAIRY WATERPROOF COATS, then why-oh-why would they even NEED a (massive) STONE WALLED SHELTER in the first place? It all makes me think there are still OTHER possibilities for a 3-sided structure formed from MASSIVE stones with LOW-QUALITY faces (outside AND INSIDE?) yet with EXQUISITE JOINERY EXQUISITE JOINERY - particularly with mostly FLAT, HORIZONTAL LOAD-BEARING surfaces with ZERO air gaps is a VIRTUE and a GOAL when: - you are building an even MORE MASSIVE (wooden?) structure on top, and need massive LOAD-BEARING walls; - you are building a DEFENSIVE structure, and cannot allow ANYTHING to penetrate within (not even flaming arrows); - you are building something that will SURVIVE any & all EARTHQUAKES, and that implies something IMPORTANT like a PALACE or a TEMPLE or a FORTRESS; I hope you will challenge yourself to explore EACH of these options, evaluating each of them on their own merits and accepting them or ruling them out based on these merits. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ! -Mark Vogt | VOGTLAND OUTDOORS
I have a partial hypothesis about construction. Assuming the stones are placed while somehow in a liquid/semi-liquid form and then set in place, molds are used for the faces and the knobs are important too. The knobs are used to detect when each course of say 4-5 stones are formed. A knob shaped access is made through the facing mold in order to determine whether the stone has set firmly enough to remove the molds. If it is still too soft, they wait and make another knob access to check again. This could explain why the number of protrusions and their placement is so random and why there is no uniformity to the knobs. I have no idea how they liquify and process the stone.
@@nancypelosi480 You're correct. You didn't say melt. You can't crush or grind granite and mix it with other aggregate to use in molds. Do you even know how granite is formed? If you crush granite it ceases to be granite. You look at the granite blocks across the world and you can tell which quarry they came from based on the composition of granite. You can't match the streaks of feldspar from the quarry to the blocks. You can match the crystalline structure to know how long and under what kind of heat and pressure and how deep in the earth the granite was formed. You crush granite you literally lose all semblance of what granite is.
The Inca themselves told the conquistadors that they didn't know who built the megalithic structures. They reported that the structures were old when their ancestors found them. The Inca at the time of the conquistadors were good at working stone, and had added to many of the structures, but nothing close to the size or precision of the earlier polygonal architecture. Note also that identical structures exist all over the world. I think we will probably never know who built them or how. That knowledge is lost in time.
I'm feeling optimistic that we'll figure it out. Oh,, and no,, identical structures do not exist all over the world. If it did,, maybe we'd take it more seriously. Similar hints at best exist around the world,,
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 Polygonal, precisely fit stonework using large stones, often in hard stone like granite and basalt, can be found in Japan, Easter Island, India all over southern Europe (Italy and Greece for example), and all over Turkey as examples. Mysteriously the skills and techniques died everywhere some time in pre-history.
Where did you get the idea that the polygonal Peruvian wall blocks are made of granite??? They are NOT granite nor are they natural stone. They are reconstituted stone concrete shaped by trowels while still wet, not by steel chisels which did not even exist. Also, mammoths did not need any walls to protect them since nature provided them all of the protection that they needed, namely enormous size as well as tusk and plenty of hair.
Hatun Rumiyoc is Granite. I know because I have been there and put my hands on them. If it were concrete, nobody would care,,, AND we'd be able to see that it was concrete,, AND I wouldn't care either.
Thanks for your insights. These structures and blocks have been such an enigma for me. I like the practical approach. The explanations tend to be so simple next to the speculations on these places
I think they had a way to liquify granite, or grind it into a powder and reconstitute it. Or they had a type of concrete that turned into granite. This looks like random bags of concrete dropped into a wooden form.
Interesting hypothesis, but it would also work to say the structure was built to protect smaller animals from those extinct beasts? There would have been other megafauna beasts running about like the short faced bear and giant sloth...
Wow man, this makes a lot of sense. I've never heard of this theory before. You are genius for figuring it out. My hat is off to you sir. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you! Also, I worked in construction for over 45 years and I know how heavy these type things can be, how they cut and fit these enormous blocks has always mystified me. Thanks again.
Yes,, I have built enough stonewalls to go around Hatun Rumiyoc twice,, and formed/poured more concrete in my day than would be needed to duplicate Sacsayhuaman! I hate it when people say I obviously don't know anything about granite and concrete! LOL!
Oh,, and I do have videos that talk a bit about how this was done,,, and I'm working on one that will refine this video. th-cam.com/video/3Fi-GK9n2jQ/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
And an excellent note that is! Thank You. BUT,, are you sure? is it possible that side is completely covered? I've been trying to figure that out for a while.
nothing quick or sloppy about this site. Its so old that the land has changed since it was built. this is the silliest reasoning I have ever heard. The Inca did not build this. They simply inhabited what they found, yes they are many many tens of thousands of years older than the Inca - what on earth gives you the idea its quick or sloppy.
The truth is not ugly, it's refreshing. It seems every find archeologists make is a tomb or a temple. If you read Zecharia Sitchin, the great pyramids of Egypt were merely landmarks to be seen from the air as an aid to landing. not a tomb. Most structures are built for a need not decoration.
What large mammals were kept there? You showed a picture of a Mammoth but, "The Columbian mammoth moved throughout the United States and parts of Mexico. They never went south of Mexico." I think you had a solid hypothesis, but given that fact I would need further explanation into your hypothesis to consider it as a potential theory.
I'm sorry,, but you don't find polygonal granite stonework like Hatun Rumiyoc at the base of the great pyramid. Menkares pyramid has some softened examples of granite,, is that what you're referring to?,
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 rarely is it the same rock. Usually two outer layers with rubble between them. You are also ignoring the vast majority that are split stone on the back and obviously not formed.
It's a large structure. How did they support the roof in a way that did not annoy the livestock? If you have a roof support every 16 feet (assuming wood), that's a lot of obstructions. You may be correct but there are questions. :)
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 That's not a lot of shade. I can see why you come to the conclusions that you do. If the scale were smaller this would be easier.
I'm curious as to how the structure/architecture of, what you're referring to as the "Main House", compares to the stables you're proposing? My thoughts are that the Main House would be as magnificent, if not much more so, than the stables. I've never been so I have no first hand knowledge if there are megalithic stones there as well.
Then you need to walk across the top of Sacsayhuaman and look at the foundations that are still there. Only the footing stones are left, but you can see how incredible the 'big house' must have been! I'm actually working on that video this week. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely great work! You've earned a subscription with notifications on. Now, let's see what you can do?! This is what the Internet should be all about...
All I could disagree with is that it is granite. If it was a poured geopolymer it would make much more sense in the context you're presenting. Granite is too difficult to work even conventionally.
Everyone who keeps saying 'GeoPolymer' is a person who hasn't been there and put their own hands onto this granite. GeoPolymer are a bologna myth. Go to HomeDepot and try to buy some! Seriously. Go try build something out of GeoPolymers. Even just a little jar or vase,, or patio blocks. They will laugh you right out of the hardware store. yeesh.
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 Plenty of quarried and finished stones are easily identifiable. The process left large amounts of dust and granular remains that would have been put to use and used as the main ingredient in a mix. If you could find any veining in the pillow shaped forms I'd change my toon. But you won't! Any sediment will harden into stone, given enough time.
you make sense. I saw the 12 angle stone with my own eyes when I was a kid. Also saw Machu Pichu. In Machu Pichu it's 0bvious that there was twwo times of construction, the later being way rougher than the earlier
Very interesting idea. But it doesn't seem compatible with what we know of stone age farming. A quick search of online materials suggests to me that woolly mammoths were never domesticated. The rise of agriculture in South America occurred about 10K years ago. Very few animals were domesticated in the Americas-a couple of birds and camelids. Also, a sophisticated stone enclosure like those walls seems like a tremendous effort purely for agricultural purposes, much less a pen for domestic animals. I'll suggest an alternative hypothesis. The reason for the three walls is because it was originally designed as a kind of public stadium. There could have been wooden seats that did not survive. What you consider to be signs of sloppy or hasty construction can simply be due to the weathering and shifting that happens after so much time has passed. Perhaps there was a fourth wall that simply collapsed a long time ago due to an earthquake or siege.
Stone Age? Let's just go back 15,000 years,, to that strange little missing link/gap in time that for some reason we don't know anything about ourselves,, the end of the Pleistocene Epoch.
Thank You. Yes, maybe we don't eat elephants today,, and we don't raise moose like cattle,, but I'll bet that it has happened somewhere a long time ago. It's entirely possible that Wooley Mammoths were once livestock many thousands of years ago.
Mammoths ....there is one little problem , the Columbia Mammoths never ventured past Mexico, whilst the wooly Mammoths stayed in the north of north America, but I'm sure you already knew that and factored that into your theory
And the cow never existed on North America until someone brought them there,,, What do we really know about livestock and whomever was homesteading 10 thousand and 15,000 years ago. It's really a timeframe that we know very little about,, for some reason. Carbon dating is accurate up to 30,000 years for organics. And yet we really have a mystery unknown after the end of the Pleistocene just 13,000 years ago.
Not what I was expecting, because I'm inclined to completely agree with you & though I've sounded out various people on the use/time scale,no-one has agreed with me. The great age of the largest stones in most walls ,not just here ,but,around the world,indicate a culture of great capability, long lost. The remains were then repurposed as the foundations for far later cultures. Very best wishes to you&yours👋💫✌
Best bit of deductive reasioning I have heard to date. Job well done my friend. AND what was the ugly bit? We "the current civilization cant grasp the timr frame involved in the global cycles for all the STUFF around the planet" SO no ugly at all we need to get our head out of the hole in the ground a revise ALL our "technicial vision's of our species"
this is beyond the incas.. you can see incan work along side these more ancient structures.. even the incas state that this stone works where there before them.
Yes, but WHO WAS BEFORE? HOW did they cut the stones, and how impressive is it that they could easily do it to make a livestock shelter? I am left with so many more questions!
That is the million dollar question, what ever the technology that was used, it had to be simple, and "cheap", and is obviously lost. besides the "how?" there is also the "why?" as in why was this style preferred, it is so much easier to just make uniform inter connecting blocks, instead of a complex method where each block/stone is unique, and has to be perfectly modified so that it could sit snuggly upon other odd shaped stones.
When someone finds an answer to an unknown problem, it's usually obvious to everyone immediately and everyone wonders why they didn't come up with it. It's simple and logical. I expect you are dead on with your thoughts. I do take reception to the farming of mammoths though. I don't think anyone would try to raise mammoths for the same reason people don't like to raise bison. They would just be more trouble than they are worth due to their power. Easier to hunt then than to raise them. But I expect something was being raised there and otherwise your theory holds. Still very intriguing what the method was that was used to make the walls. If it wetter a mold they would be uniform. Even if chiseled they would be rectangular. Why the inconsistent shapes and sizes with obvious signs of having been cast?
According to Wise Up on TH-cam, these walls were once solid sheets of poured geo polymer and over time they cracked to to make the current odd shapes. Wise Up has studied these structures extensively for 12 years.
I can be with you that Mammuth can have helped to make those walls but what is inexplicable is how to cut them so precisely and fit them together and all the rocks are different SHAPE one to each other this is the real inapplicable question and the theory of Mammuth can be realistic but they have to have domesticated mammoths as elephants in India but I think the solution is far more complicated and inexplicable. anyway, the 1403 thumb-up is mine. your theory is very interesting theory and thanks for the excellent video. your theory is way better than the theory of traditional archeologists. For me, these rocks are a sort of cement as we use cement nowadays - so before it was powder than liquid, and then solidification. The problem is how they have liquefied granite to work it in that beautiful shape but are we sure it is Granite stones because these rocks don't look natural and these stones are all of the same color or Gray color and where we find the granite so homogenous gray because you don't find it in nature of this repeating color so maybe it is not granite or I repeat a sort of cement - if the scientists discovered why these stones are all of the same colors and why there present some bumps. well discovering that they will have discovered much of the problem. and if you look closely they have cracks compatible with crushing with wooden boards to smooth the surface for me these rocs are not granite because the color is similar to each other and in nature, no rocs have a similar color to each other. so ancient human civilizations I think they have invented something to make the clay become hard and this is the real problem to be resolved. YES, THESE STONES ARE MADE WITH A SORT OF CLAY.
These stones are quite different from each other in terms of color and grain. Infact the color changes a bit from grey to pinkish as you walk around. And a lot of the stones have intrusion lines in them too, which is typical with granite. It's definitely granite!
Мне больше интересно как зделали а не для чего использовали. как будто для мамонтов была необходима именно гранитная полигональная кладка без каких либо изъянов, иначе мамонт в щель просачится
We need to arrange a ninja style heist to get into this place and drill some cores. Even if we're caught, I doubt coprolite-burgling carries a heavy sentence.
Interesting that the building where the inca rulers lived is called "big rocks" If they had built that building for royalty would never call it "big rock".
I was in Cusco for 9 days and nights and the breeze rolled right up the valley from the South East the whole darn time,, except for one day when there wasn't any wind at all.
I have seen the global megalithic sites and predynastic stoneworks. I know some other men like Brian Foerster who lives in Peru, and we know this is not Inca, but I have never seen Brian ever see it like this, a refreshing new perspective...
I went into the Religous Art Museum each time I was there (5). And it was a closed 4 out of 5. That 5th time,, I walked in past the booth and nobody was there. It's a creapy place, actually. I shiver went up my past my ear and I turned and walked out. I will be going back again next May. I will try again. This time I will bring a friend of mine whom is a local, born in Chinchero and his Quechua get's him everywhere he wants to go.
You got to be kidding. I am a stone mason, from a family of stone masons, and making those cuts for the blocks to fit together like that, would be damn near impossible. It would take a group of 100 masons, today with our technology, a decade to cut those granite blocks, to fit that perfectly, let alone quarry them, and haul them to the site. Oh, yea, but that's right, i forgot, you said they had some magical unknown technology, lol. You don't spend 1/1000th of this kind of effort to build a corral. This wall is one of the greatest feats of our ancestors, and you belittle it by calling it an ugly corral? Have some respect for the achievements of our ancestors, and their incredibly hard work.
@@ronb1071 So, your saying smashing granite into dust, to make a granite geo-polymer, is easier than chiseling it? My theory: When they quarried the stone, they chiselled a pattern in the face of giant slabs, to create weak areas in the slab where they wanted it to break. They broke it off in giant slabs along natural vertical fissures, that fell off the cliff side onto the ground, that broke into smaller blocks where they weakened them, and how it cracked and split is how they stacked it.
The softened stones don't go below ground level. You can see while there,, that the foundation stones have not been softened. The bottom stones have simply had stones placed onto them.
For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed.

Are there mastodon bones in the area to support that theory? This sounds interesting.
Amazing perspective man, this deserves to be seriously considered .
excellent idea about the core sample. if mammoth dung or other extinct animal's was found, it could date the stonework. in my opinion this structure like so many others around the world is pre-iceage.

@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 80% of it but was distracted by things going on around house.
I was so excited to find your video because it's been a thought of mine that it would make sense for humans to domesticate extinct megafauna such as Mastodons, Mammoths, Glyptodons, Giant Sloths, Giant Camels, Paraceratherium, et al. We domesticate living megafauna, after all. In fact, I wonder if humans owe our global expansion to certain extinct megafauna. They'd be indispensable for keeping us above thickets, swamps, and reeds; providing meat, milk, warmth, tendons, hides, and even emergency hydration (blood); offering a certain protection from carnivores, carrying us across vast distances, etc. They could haul lumber and pull stones. They could dig to reach water, or depending upon the animal; carve burrows large enough to shelter man and beast. They'd have kept humans out of reach of thorns, poisonous plants, scorching/freezing earth, and venomous creatures. When I think about how easy it is to imprint upon mammals during infancy, I can't help but believe humans would've utilized every creature they possibly could.
Exactly! and Thank You. It's for creative thinking open minded viewers like you,, that I keep creating and publishing my intriguing megalithic perspectives!
Great idea! I like it. But Im left wondering why they chose to make so many tricky cuts. interlocked is one thing, but 12 sided? It seems excessive for such a pragmatic structure.
Actually,, my title intro animation shows how the 12 angled stone was assembled. It's made easier with the right techniques/tech.
Interesting analysis and better than most. I wonder if soil/rock drill core samples from within the 'shelter' could reveal if the area was used for the purpose you present?
One question I never hear asked in relation to the amazing stone masonry from antiquity is as follows:
Given this type of masonry, not replicable today even using our technology, can be found in India, South America, Italy, Turkey, China, Japan, Egypt, Easter Island etc. and supposedly these peoples were isolated from each, why was the knowledge lost? I can accept that one maybe two groups could face events that result in losing such a valuable skill. I cannot accept that everyone of these past peoples lost this ability/knowledge. Why was it not preserved in at least one past group of ancient people? In my mind it is a skill as valuable as making fire or smelting iron, I find it very odd that it was lost.
Oh you can bet it wasn't lost, just kept secret from us. See here you have to be in a secret society to know these things and fair better than the rest of society. There's coming another reset soon and it will all start over again unless this is the time our Heavenly Father takes us home. Blessings✨

Yeah world gets reset; powers that be have bunkers and spacecraft in a now stone age world. Right now in this current era it seems that this type of thing would be easy to imagine. Is this the true cycle of history..? Why would obvious histories be covered up otherwise?
A good talker can make almost any stupidity sound *'logical'*
It’s made from a slow cooling stone pushed up from volcanic activity, maybe when this was built it was still in the cooling process and was easier to work with
Pre deluge cultures all seem to point to a well traveled advanced society. Impossible, to what’s publicly known anyway, stone work located in multiple societies. Similar images and shapes used across the world in buildings and monolithic structures.
He must mean "pre Inca" stonework?
Oh? I've never seen the "back" side of this wall. Can you show us how the fit & finish is similar on the inside of your livestock shelter?
The next time I'm in Cusco, I will try again to get an inside tour 'beyond the Religious Art Museum'. Last time there, I simply didn't sense that I would be allowed to learn anything about the other side/inside of the stones.
I would be interested to know if there are traces of paint on any of the stonework. The shapes built into the design of the walls were not accidental.
I love your videos and the way you come up with intriguing theories and back them up with evidence and high quality animations. Great work. I think the title of this video needs work because it isn't going to perform well in search results with the current format.

th-cam.com/video/dlT2g_teHVk/w-d-xo.html
I think the 3 sided wall must be built normally by stacking rocks but some catastrophic event must have altered the rocks composition making it jelly like and buckle on its weight covering the gaps to form the puzzle structure we see today, The bulge on some rocks or parts of wall must be because of the same process.
The same structures can be found around the globe stating the event must be global but its severe effects (making jelly rocks) were limited to an area under which these stone walls happened to exist.
Not trying to discredit if it was designed and built by engineers.
Just a hypothesis.
I believe these walls are 10,000 years plus. I too believe the walls were super heated, you can see the weak parts of the stones that protrude outward.
We have some knowledge about the 12000 years recurring cycle mostly described in mythologies.
I have done some sculpting in my time and worked with stone carvers. There is no way we could have carved such blocks. Even if I were working with something as light and easy to carve as styrofoam I would find it impossible to carve any of these blocks and fit them together. The only explanation is that they were made out of soft clay that later hardened into granite.
I agree
Then you're going to love my next video...

The only reason you think it was impossible to carve these stones is that you do not know how they did it. I know that skilled craftspeople can do amazing things with simple tools. As a builder and an engineer, I am sure that cutting and trimming these stones is not extremely difficult. It only requires time, training, skill and experience. Some local beer would probably help too.
Interesting take on the issue. First time I've heard it. I don't know enough about building placement to agree or disagree with you. But, it would be nice to do some digging in that area and get those core samples that you speak of. Thanks for contributing a new take on this. I cannot get over how much these pillow-faced stones represent smaller stone pathways here that are made by pouring cement into bags and placing and pressing each bag soft cement into the shape of a walkway. The cement bags, once hardened, do take on this kind of pillow look. But, these blocks are not cement. They are granite. They were not poured. They were carved. BUT, if this really was a race of giants, why haven't we dug up bones? If we can find bones that belonged to the dinosaurs, then we can certainly find bones of giants who died and were buried. But, we haven't found them. So, there's strike one in your theory about a race of giants.
@Indrid Cold That’s not what most people are talking about when they say “ a race of giants “.
Being 7’ tall doesn’t really give a significant advantage when you’re moving stones that weigh many tons.
I just used old pallet stacks with a tin roof over the top. Keeps the hay dry and I didn’t need to move a million tons of granite 😂😂
And probably not on top of mountains either
Lazy but smart.
@@Muttinchopsforever smarter not harder 😃
While the layout may be in fact strategic , the use of these megalithic blocks to do so is NOT STRATEGIC and is eradic overkill . Let alone the lack of technology and process you nor anyone can ansewr to.
Our second farm was 1000 feet up the hill from the first one. The barns were again U shaped layout with a barnyard facing south. The house is 200 feet east of the barns. A small llake north of the barns fed a stream that went by the barns and down the rocky hill. At the bottom of the hill 2000 feet away was a dfferent stream that flowed west to east from which the cattle and horses drank.
Thank you for sparking an interest in me that mastodons or other large beast of burden could have helped move all the stones.
and there's that possibility too! Nice! Thank You! -H
Good reasoning. Big walls were always infrastructure projects - and cattle beasts were the most valuable assets (for milk, manure, labour, transport, food).
Have you ever talked about what’s going on with the stucco over the polygonal granite stones? Is it original or part of a Restoration?
INTERESTING THEORY... and COMPELLING ARGUMENT !
That said, I DO find myself wondering the following:
1. IF these walls were "hastily-built", then WHY are the FACES ROUGH (as expected) but the JOINERY UTTERLY SUPERB?
2. WHAT was the NEED for such PRECISE joinery? Was it because the Mammoths were HITTING the walls from the INSIDE, trying to get OUT? Was the entire area EARTHQUAKE PRONE?
3. WHY was the ENTIRE 4th wall utterly MISSING? This would then required a massive WOODEN DOOR or FENCE, which makes LITTLE sense if the Mammoths were capable of hammering away at the STONE walls, then they would certainly be strong enough to make short work of a WOODEN FENCE on the 4th wall, and you CAN'T say "there ISN'T any 4th wall at ALL", because that would suggest that the Mammoths WEREN'T prone to escaping - that they were somehow DOMESTICATED?? And if they were DOMESTICATED and they had THICK HAIRY WATERPROOF COATS, then why-oh-why would they even NEED a (massive) STONE WALLED SHELTER in the first place?
It all makes me think there are still OTHER possibilities for a 3-sided structure formed from MASSIVE stones with LOW-QUALITY faces (outside AND INSIDE?) yet with EXQUISITE JOINERY
EXQUISITE JOINERY - particularly with mostly FLAT, HORIZONTAL LOAD-BEARING surfaces with ZERO air gaps is a VIRTUE and a GOAL when:
- you are building an even MORE MASSIVE (wooden?) structure on top, and need massive LOAD-BEARING walls;
- you are building a DEFENSIVE structure, and cannot allow ANYTHING to penetrate within (not even flaming arrows);
- you are building something that will SURVIVE any & all EARTHQUAKES, and that implies something IMPORTANT like a PALACE or a TEMPLE or a FORTRESS;
I hope you will challenge yourself to explore EACH of these options, evaluating each of them on their own merits and accepting them or ruling them out based on these merits.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !
-Mark Vogt | VOGTLAND OUTDOORS
Excellent work, well done. Hope to see more and hear the explanations behind it all. Fascinating!
I have a partial hypothesis about construction. Assuming the stones are placed while somehow in a liquid/semi-liquid form and then set in place, molds are used for the faces and the knobs are important too. The knobs are used to detect when each course of say 4-5 stones are formed. A knob shaped access is made through the facing mold in order to determine whether the stone has set firmly enough to remove the molds. If it is still too soft, they wait and make another knob access to check again. This could explain why the number of protrusions and their placement is so random and why there is no uniformity to the knobs. I have no idea how they liquify and process the stone.
no, please read about granite formation under continent and it is not a kind of concrete
@@nancypelosi480 You can't melt and pour granite.
You can't liquify granite, nor can you pour it into molds.
@@nancypelosi480 You're correct. You didn't say melt. You can't crush or grind granite and mix it with other aggregate to use in molds. Do you even know how granite is formed? If you crush granite it ceases to be granite. You look at the granite blocks across the world and you can tell which quarry they came from based on the composition of granite. You can't match the streaks of feldspar from the quarry to the blocks. You can match the crystalline structure to know how long and under what kind of heat and pressure and how deep in the earth the granite was formed. You crush granite you literally lose all semblance of what granite is.
@@nancypelosi480 Why bring up theories that don't apply to the granite stones? It literally makes no sense.
The Inca themselves told the conquistadors that they didn't know who built the megalithic structures. They reported that the structures were old when their ancestors found them. The Inca at the time of the conquistadors were good at working stone, and had added to many of the structures, but nothing close to the size or precision of the earlier polygonal architecture. Note also that identical structures exist all over the world. I think we will probably never know who built them or how. That knowledge is lost in time.
I'm feeling optimistic that we'll figure it out. Oh,, and no,, identical structures do not exist all over the world. If it did,, maybe we'd take it more seriously. Similar hints at best exist around the world,,
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 Polygonal, precisely fit stonework using large stones, often in hard stone like granite and basalt, can be found in Japan, Easter Island, India all over southern Europe (Italy and Greece for example), and all over Turkey as examples. Mysteriously the skills and techniques died everywhere some time in pre-history.
@@fixberthaYep. All over the world.
the most logical explanation for these strange shaped blocks is they are geopolymer mixes poured in place.
Where did you get the idea that the polygonal Peruvian wall blocks are made of granite??? They are NOT granite nor are they natural stone. They are reconstituted stone concrete shaped by trowels while still wet, not by steel chisels which did not even exist.
Also, mammoths did not need any walls to protect them since nature provided them all of the protection that they needed, namely enormous size as well as tusk and plenty of hair.
Perhaps it’s a corral of sorts. Where they would chase various game into, cornering or enclosing them in an area more easily killed.
Hatun Rumiyoc is Granite. I know because I have been there and put my hands on them. If it were concrete, nobody would care,,, AND we'd be able to see that it was concrete,, AND I wouldn't care either.
Thanks for your insights. These structures and blocks have been such an enigma for me. I like the practical approach. The explanations tend to be so simple next to the speculations on these places
I think they had a way to liquify granite, or grind it into a powder and reconstitute it. Or they had a type of concrete that turned into granite.
This looks like random bags of concrete dropped into a wooden form.
That is an interesting speculation. Cheers!
Interesting hypothesis, but it would also work to say the structure was built to protect smaller animals from those extinct beasts? There would have been other megafauna beasts running about like the short faced bear and giant sloth...
Love the video - but not the live stock conclusion. Thanks for all the fine videos :)
What a great video on a great topic.. thanks

Also, I worked in construction for over 45 years and I know how heavy these type things can be, how they cut and fit these enormous blocks has always mystified me. Thanks again.

@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 judging by the construction style, I believe it was originally three-sided but was later "completed" by the Romans.
nothing quick or sloppy about this site. Its so old that the land has changed since it was built. this is the silliest reasoning I have ever heard. The Inca did not build this. They simply inhabited what they found, yes they are many many tens of thousands of years older than the Inca - what on earth gives you the idea its quick or sloppy.
You didn't watch the video,, did you... If you hired someone to build a wall and there was huge bulge in it,, you'd point it out,, wouldn't you?
Excellent and insightful work!
The truth is not ugly, it's refreshing. It seems every find archeologists make is a tomb or a temple. If you read Zecharia Sitchin, the great pyramids of Egypt were merely landmarks to be seen from the air as an aid to landing. not a tomb. Most structures are built for a need not decoration.
So,, if I told you your house looks like a cattle shelter,, you wouldn't take it as an insult?
Just having some fun! Thanks for watching! -H
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 Not an insult if it looked like a cattle shelter.
Very interesting indeed. I was thinking of a core sample the second before you suggested it.
What large mammals were kept there? You showed a picture of a Mammoth but, "The Columbian mammoth moved throughout the United States and parts of Mexico. They never went south of Mexico." I think you had a solid hypothesis, but given that fact I would need further explanation into your hypothesis to consider it as a potential theory.
Interesting analysis! i have been there and that never crossed my mind! Thank you!
If it’s hurried stone work, why do you find the same style of stone work all over the place including the base of the great pyramid?
I'm sorry,, but you don't find polygonal granite stonework like Hatun Rumiyoc at the base of the great pyramid. Menkares pyramid has some softened examples of granite,, is that what you're referring to?,
Megaliths were constucted from flood sediment from the noahs flood which petrified.
Outstanding. It gr3at to see some new perspectives and presentations.

There are backs to these walls at Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu and Sacsayhuaman,, and they are also well fitted.
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 rarely is it the same rock. Usually two outer layers with rubble between them. You are also ignoring the vast majority that are split stone on the back and obviously not formed.
Do you know what is also intriguing? I cannot play this video on my Roku. It freezes on the very first frame.
How thick are these megalithic walls? At 9:59 it looks like 10 cm. Is it just a cover for a normal wall?
It's a large structure. How did they support the roof in a way that did not annoy the livestock? If you have a roof support every 16 feet (assuming wood), that's a lot of obstructions.
You may be correct but there are questions. :)
Just roofed at the wall line,, all the way around. Just like the illustration shows at 09:20
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 That's not a lot of shade. I can see why you come to the conclusions that you do. If the scale were smaller this would be easier.
I agree the megaliths are industrial sites.
I'm curious as to how the structure/architecture of, what you're referring to as the "Main House", compares to the stables you're proposing? My thoughts are that the Main House would be as magnificent, if not much more so, than the stables. I've never been so I have no first hand knowledge if there are megalithic stones there as well.
Then you need to walk across the top of Sacsayhuaman and look at the foundations that are still there. Only the footing stones are left, but you can see how incredible the 'big house' must have been! I'm actually working on that video this week. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for subbing! and yes,, I am working on the next perspective.
All I could disagree with is that it is granite. If it was a poured geopolymer it would make much more sense in the context you're presenting. Granite is too difficult to work even conventionally.
Everyone who keeps saying 'GeoPolymer' is a person who hasn't been there and put their own hands onto this granite. GeoPolymer are a bologna myth. Go to HomeDepot and try to buy some! Seriously. Go try build something out of GeoPolymers. Even just a little jar or vase,, or patio blocks. They will laugh you right out of the hardware store. yeesh.
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 Plenty of quarried and finished stones are easily identifiable. The process left large amounts of dust and granular remains that would have been put to use and used as the main ingredient in a mix.

Lime and ash dissoves rock. So does stomach acid. That would explain a couple things. Yw.
you make sense. I saw the 12 angle stone with my own eyes when I was a kid. Also saw Machu Pichu. In Machu Pichu it's 0bvious that there was twwo times of construction, the later being way rougher than the earlier
Nice - the question really should be how was this technology lost? Because the answer or theory to that may date it beyond our belief.
Very interesting idea. But it doesn't seem compatible with what we know of stone age farming.
A quick search of online materials suggests to me that woolly mammoths were never domesticated. The rise of agriculture in South America occurred about 10K years ago. Very few animals were domesticated in the Americas-a couple of birds and camelids. Also, a sophisticated stone enclosure like those walls seems like a tremendous effort purely for agricultural purposes, much less a pen for domestic animals.
I'll suggest an alternative hypothesis. The reason for the three walls is because it was originally designed as a kind of public stadium. There could have been wooden seats that did not survive. What you consider to be signs of sloppy or hasty construction can simply be due to the weathering and shifting that happens after so much time has passed.
Perhaps there was a fourth wall that simply collapsed a long time ago due to an earthquake or siege.
Stone Age? Let's just go back 15,000 years,, to that strange little missing link/gap in time that for some reason we don't know anything about ourselves,, the end of the Pleistocene Epoch.
@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 It's a bit of a stretch to say we don't know anything!

Its about fifteen thousand years older than they think. Haha.
Thank You. Yes, maybe we don't eat elephants today,, and we don't raise moose like cattle,, but I'll bet that it has happened somewhere a long time ago. It's entirely possible that Wooley Mammoths were once livestock many thousands of years ago.
Mammoths ....there is one little problem , the Columbia Mammoths never ventured past Mexico, whilst the wooly Mammoths stayed in the north of north America, but I'm sure you already knew that and factored that into your theory
And the cow never existed on North America until someone brought them there,,, What do we really know about livestock and whomever was homesteading 10 thousand and 15,000 years ago. It's really a timeframe that we know very little about,, for some reason. Carbon dating is accurate up to 30,000 years for organics. And yet we really have a mystery unknown after the end of the Pleistocene just 13,000 years ago.

Not what I was expecting, because I'm inclined to completely agree with you & though I've sounded out various people on the use/time scale,no-one has agreed with me.

Corrals. Possibly for mammoth? Bison?
this is beyond the incas.. you can see incan work along side these more ancient structures.. even the incas state that this stone works where there before them.
Yes, but WHO WAS BEFORE? HOW did they cut the stones, and how impressive is it that they could easily do it to make a livestock shelter? I am left with so many more questions!
That is the million dollar question, what ever the technology that was used, it had to be simple, and "cheap", and is obviously lost. besides the "how?" there is also the "why?" as in why was this style preferred, it is so much easier to just make uniform inter connecting blocks, instead of a complex method where each block/stone is unique, and has to be perfectly modified so that it could sit snuggly upon other odd shaped stones.
Excellent Answer! Thank You!
Very logical and well thought through.
Thank You!
According to google, mammoths are known to have existed on every continent EXCEPT Australia and South America.
When someone finds an answer to an unknown problem, it's usually obvious to everyone immediately and everyone wonders why they didn't come up with it. It's simple and logical. I expect you are dead on with your thoughts. I do take reception to the farming of mammoths though. I don't think anyone would try to raise mammoths for the same reason people don't like to raise bison. They would just be more trouble than they are worth due to their power. Easier to hunt then than to raise them. But I expect something was being raised there and otherwise your theory holds. Still very intriguing what the method was that was used to make the walls. If it wetter a mold they would be uniform. Even if chiseled they would be rectangular. Why the inconsistent shapes and sizes with obvious signs of having been cast?
It’s a form of concrete.
According to Wise Up on TH-cam, these walls were once solid sheets of poured geo polymer and over time they cracked to to make the current odd shapes. Wise Up has studied these structures extensively for 12 years.
Wise Up doesn't sound very wise.
I can be with you that Mammuth can have helped to make those walls but what is inexplicable is how to cut them so precisely and fit them together and all the rocks are different SHAPE one to each other this is the real inapplicable question and the theory of Mammuth can be realistic but they have to have domesticated mammoths as elephants in India but I think the solution is far more complicated and inexplicable. anyway, the 1403 thumb-up is mine. your theory is very interesting theory and thanks for the excellent video. your theory is way better than the theory of traditional archeologists. For me, these rocks are a sort of cement as we use cement nowadays - so before it was powder than liquid, and then solidification. The problem is how they have liquefied granite to work it in that beautiful shape but are we sure it is Granite stones because these rocks don't look natural and these stones are all of the same color or Gray color and where we find the granite so homogenous gray because you don't find it in nature of this repeating color so maybe it is not granite or I repeat a sort of cement - if the scientists discovered why these stones are all of the same colors and why there present some bumps. well discovering that they will have discovered much of the problem. and if you look closely they have cracks compatible with crushing with wooden boards to smooth the surface for me these rocs are not granite because the color is similar to each other and in nature, no rocs have a similar color to each other. so ancient human civilizations I think they have invented something to make the clay become hard and this is the real problem to be resolved. YES, THESE STONES ARE MADE WITH A SORT OF CLAY.
These stones are quite different from each other in terms of color and grain. Infact the color changes a bit from grey to pinkish as you walk around. And a lot of the stones have intrusion lines in them too, which is typical with granite. It's definitely granite!
Very interesting hypothesis and a new one.

This wall is one of the greatest feats of our ancestors, and you belittle it by calling it an ugly corral? Have some respect for the achievements of our ancestors, and their incredibly hard work.
Pouring concrete in large sacks would be the quickest construction process bulging out at the lowest areas. I'm just saying.
They ground the granite into a fine dust and then added the hardner and poured it into bags. It's called polymer something. I forget....
@@ronb1071 So, your saying smashing granite into dust, to make a granite geo-polymer, is easier than chiseling it?
My theory: When they quarried the stone, they chiselled a pattern in the face of giant slabs, to create weak areas in the slab where they wanted it to break. They broke it off in giant slabs along natural vertical fissures, that fell off the cliff side onto the ground, that broke into smaller blocks where they weakened them, and how it cracked and split is how they stacked it.
They were poured
I agree…..😊
i don't think it makes sense simply because they are not scattered around everywhere.
mammoths need a lot of grass and flat lands. Lack of both in Cuidad del Cuzco. Yet they should be very special high altitude mammoths. Funny.
Fascinating theory! And very well presented. New sub
Welcome aboard!
G'day from Australia.
Do the stones go below ground level?.
If so , I wonder how deep?
All the best.
✌️💜
The softened stones don't go below ground level. You can see while there,, that the foundation stones have not been softened. The bottom stones have simply had stones placed onto them.
Great video
