Thank you Mr. Foester for providing such educational stuff. Many people cannot travel due to physical and /or monetary constraints. I have always been interested in archeology. Your camera work is slow and steady so you can really focus on what is being shown. Also when people are in the picture , it helps to scale the site. Thank you very much 😊
Thx again, Brien, for the making another great video. Maybe it's just me, but this video stands out from the many others you have made in this area in regards to visual effects. It is very well done videography with stunning HD shots that made me feel that I was there, including the fear of being near the edges of some of these shear drop offs with only a thin rope barrier, and in many cases, nothing at all.
I was interested in that, to see if it bottomed out, or if the bend is smooth, whichever way it is finished could tell us something baout the technique used
I was here in 2007. Access was much easier with almost no restrictions and very few visitors. A local guide grabbed our hand and coaxed us through one of those tunnels - it went completely pitch-black and was a very tight fit. Incredible incredible place to see. We also stoped at another location on the way back to town that had a lot of water / irrigation tunnels bore into the stone. Similar to the upside down staircase area that was mentioned in the beginning of this piece.
i just went to Peru recently with the specific goal of investigating these rocks. In short, the trip is life changing, and these structures in the hills and on top of peaks of mountains are a marvel, words cannot describe the intellect and the bravery and ambition of the people who constructed them. I visited multiple sites, cusco, machu piccu, ollantaytambo and even some less famous ones like Pisac, which spans over an area of many hills and has many hidden structures scattered throughout the hills. I was looking specifically for the rocks that were noted as "superior." There were plenty to be found. The distinction between the inca and the previous builders was obvious. I was specifically looking to investigate the joining surface of the rocks, in order to see how it is that they were cut or shaped. I found something very interesting. Even on the inside surface of the rocks it still looks as if it was chiseled. I have seen many different types of rocks that were cut with cutting tools. They leave a smooth surface due to heat and directional interaction between the cutting surface and the rock. The rocks i was looking at, while their surface was very flat, it was not smooth, and in my opinion not cut! It showed clear evidence of being chiseled. I found several rocks that were shaken apart for whatever reason, in each case the surface looked chiseled, or shaped by some kind of impact. Predominantly i saw this in ollantaytambo where the most impressive structures are found. How is that possible, well the surface at the millimeter level was actually very rough, inconsistent with it being cut. There were many peaks and troughs, on average they were 0.5 mm to 1 mm in height difference. I had made the assumption that for the rocks to fit in such a tight way, the surface would have to be smooth. But this does not APPEAR to be the case. they are just very very flat and uniform. I feel that archaeologists or independent researchers are coming to a dead end in how these structures were constructed. How the rocks were moved etc. I just read an entire book that investigated how these rocks, along the rocks in Egypt, mexico, Easter island etc, were shaped, but the book could not provide any insight. mostly for the lack of empirical evidence and physical tools left behind by the ancients Perhaps the previous cultures did have access to iron or harder metals. While i love to entertain the idea of redirected sunlight, lasers, or sound being the tool used to shape these rocks, the application of these sources of energy is difficult to control. The three dimensional cuts in rocks were shaped away by a metal chisel and a high degree of mathematical accuracy. I think that efforts made to develop and replicate metal tools and math that was used to create these rocks is the better approach. Metal can still be used to scrape and smooth surfaces to provide that polished sheen that is seen in many rocks. I do believe there were cataclysms that wiped out these cultures to be sure. But it is hard for me to believe that the blast or energy from weapons of mass destruction were directly responsible. The damage is just too inconsistent. Some parts are "burnt" while other rocks right near them are completely intact. this rules out weapons of mass destruction since they are not so precise or discriminant. Heat weapons? The technology used to successfully construct a heat weapon is such that it would have reflected in this ancient culture much more prominently and in many other facets than evidenced by the megalithic construction, as impressive as these structures are! Needles to say the more questions that are answered the more that arise. Great video, i hope that your consistent research of these sites yields some kind of answer, hopefully in this lifetime, hopefully more investigators join the effort. These were people who were far superior to inca or any other civilization that we ever studied in school.
@Peter Allen were you ever able to replicate the chiseled curves in the rocks? for example, the joining blocks being joined not by a straight surface but by a slightly curved surface. In this instance the curved concave surface of one rock would have to be matched by the curved convex surface of another to a very high degree.
Even iron tools do not explain how such huge stone could have been shaped. Even steel or hard steel. It does not matter. It would take months just to shape 2 blocks of granite with chisels and make sure the shapes fit. Nobody would even attempy such an endevour on such a huge scale. You have walls like that everywhere. It means it was an easy task to the point that is was commonly chosen as bulding tachnicque. It must have been pretty easy. The machining solution is far more reasonable. I also suppose you do not believe the drill holes where made by chisels. There are clear signs of cuts made by saw blades. Therefore machining WAS USED. There is no going around it.
@@rikirikibis I personally did not see signs of saw blades in Peru that I can recall. I did see the holes, most were sophisticated but worn by time and erosion. I mean, I agree with you, you make great points that I am well aware of and that are hard to ignore. I just dont think it was laser or sunpower. But im just a guy with an opinion trying to figure it out not an expert. Like I said, the surfaces of the inside of the blocks where they meet at such a fine level did not look cut, they looked chiseled. how long it took or how they were made is beyond me. But from the videos i watched on here that have evidence of saw marks and my personal experience and logic lead me to say that most of these rocks were NOT cut. They just do not look like it. The surfaces are not smooth, even in the spots were erosion could not reach them. I personally desecrated the ancient site and moved rocks apart to see (as wrong and as guilty as i felt doing it, i had to look because it is so damn fascinating). As we cannot understand these cultures that could have been wildly different from us its hard to say what they were willing to attempt and how much they were willing to sacrifice in terms of time and labor. I am only looking at the cuts and examining them independently of the cultural aspect. And from what can be seen and felt, the rocks look chiseled, with whatever kind of tool they used it was something that created impacts on that surface. Its something you have to see for yourself and it just sheds more mystery on the whole damn thing. But youre right, it would have to be easy for them for it to be so widely used, and even machines would have to have material tougher than steel to be able to shape the rock, and it seriously is everywhere.
I absolutely love these videos. I’ve become disabled and haven’t been able to explore or travel by plane anymore. My powerchair & my issues prevent me from flying. I do still have an inquisitive mind and so much free time on my hands, that this channel is a godsend. These videos I can watch conveniently from my iPad give me the experience as close to being there in person. Incredible! I love still being able to explore from my bed. Thank you for taking us all along with you on your expeditions, Brian. I’m so fascinated by these locations. Aren’t these constructions mind blowing & utterly puzzling ? So many questions so little time to find answers.
Let's take a step back from the debate and just admire Brian Foerster ability to organize his life around something he likes and thrives with and make a living with travel tours, pleasant entertainment and cultural tourism. This is worthy of respect and may inspire others to take better control of their own lives.
All builders will take the most efficient path to get the job done, to save time and effort... What technology they did use made transporting tons of stone the size of small automobiles very easy... Air lift ? They would haul the largest stones to reduce the number of trips from the stone origin to the destination. I don't think the builders of the Megalithic structures were homo sapien... but one of the species that came before us.
@@SeaJay_Oceans We can do what they did now very easily. The only reason done historians make a big deal about these structures is because they think people from the past were simple minded cavemen. Ask the fellow ironworker in the comment section. Two 4x4 pieces of cribbing can hold 10 tons of anything without snapping. They rolled these things on logs then used wedges to lift one side on to the other and repeat the process until it was high enough to set. People all over the world do the sane thing.
@@lkjh3336 but even if we accept that is HOW they did such things, it does not address the question of WHY in the world would people drag thousands of tons of megalithic stone 40 miles, then up the side of a mountain, and build such huge constructions ? Did they experience magnetosphere inversion or nullification ? One thing we can be certain: The Hebrew-Christian-Muslim assault of middle eastern cults against all other religions and beliefs has to stop, the far, far older cultures were NOT inferior, they were far more advanced in construction, farming, metal work, glass work, engineering of water control, artistic ability, language, sculpture, and in most every way possible, more advanced than the cultures we have today. It's they WHY that sticks in most people's minds, why they built such huge civilizations in the middle of nowhere, and why did they vanish from the face of the Earth ???
I remember when I was building all those years ago that I thought it was HOT being in the sun all day. Now I've moved to a NEW country, I'm not so HOT. I used to be so delirious I kept building walls and walkways and digging holes. We had no time for carving.
Thank you for such lovely shots. Luckly visiting with my mother in the 1990s, I had the epithany that the ancients sculpted their rocks and structures to memic the landscape beyond. A sort of landscape worship, unmatched! Even echoed in stones within walls.
Simply Wow Mr Forester! I've always wanted to travel to some of these places, for many years, since I discovered all these "Megalithic" sites existed. But alas, I've probably left it too late now, so in your videos, you are my Eyes, Ears and asking the same questions that I would, so thanks so much for all your hard work! Please keep these videos coming for as long as you can. Many thanks, Pany.
I'm watching this video again 10 months later and I am just as astounded as I was the last time I watched it. I believe that technology has been lost to the "cataclysms" and then re-learned and then lost again and so on for thousands and thousands of years. Trying to imagine how the work was done... Were there giants? Did they have "special" powers? Where did they come from? ??? Incredible !!!
Whenever i need a good dose of down to Earth stuff....stuff that means something to me...i listen to a Mr F upload.....for some reason, he makes more sense than all convention put together. God bless ya Mr F....peace.
The drill holes are baffling. I've used hammer drills with diamond tipped coring bits to cut through stone wall foundations for plumbing ect and lemme tell you its difficult with power tools so in my opinion it is absolutely impossible without power tools especially with copper anything I dont care if they added sand to help the cutting process it would take an insane amount of time it just would be too impractical way of constructing things of these magnitudes.
Well they could've been working on maybe of those things for very long periods of time over generations. Slowing removing material with an understanding of their local resources that escape us with our modern ways of looking and working material.
@John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt i noticed that too. but man NONE of this megalithic stonework makes sense. Its the same way in baalbek, egypt, and mexico. i just dont get it lol. And i still havent figured out what the Knobs are for.
Well done! The effort needed to grow food in these difficult places speaks either to immense population of the entire Earth or a persecuted sect that took to the mountains as sanctuary - or there was some ancient valuable crop that only grew in these very expensive shelves.
Several methods of fabrication of the polygonal masonry using clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, reduced clay models of the stone blocks, and a 3D-pantograph are described in the article “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”. I do not provide a direct link, because TH-cam does not allow a comment with this link. Search by the article title.
Brien, the differences between the pre inca & inca work is huge! The megalithic work is something unbelievable accurated, exquisite! It's really an high tecnology work, indeed!
When I see new viewers, I send them to you. I am not healthy enough to make these trips in person. Yet, your videos give me nearly the same sense. The only thing missing are the smells... thanks!
Thank you for the panning shot opening this video. It's the first I've seen out of all your videos that shows the outward-projecting "bas relief" sculpted figures. As remarkable as the stones are for their precise fit, and the interlocking interior angles that make them so resistant to sheer forces, those figures underscore the stupendous mastery the ancient culture had achieved, whatever combination of technologies were used. However they were done, the figures require ADVANCE planning in addition to the shaping & fitting of the blocks. And yet they seem to convey an almost Whimsical sense, as if the builders are reminding us they were so utterly at ease with their techniques that they could just have fun as they worked. Reminds me of some of the whimsical and even comic sculptures discovered in obscure bits of Europe's medieval cathedrals. Some of those were under construction for three or four generations, and stone carvers spent decades adding their contributions to the towering monuments, and managed to add both humor and reverence. Just as the Monks who added illustrations to the books they were copying by hand, showing scenes drawn from the life they witnessed around them. _Sure would be nice if someone like Dr. Robert Schoch could examine the surfaces and comment on the extent of the weathering, with the perspective of a Geophysicist._ Your videos have shown us in some of Cuzco's streets, there are sequences of those megalithic wall blocks showing some Ancient "Glaze" that may have been an intentional surface from the time of construction, *_or it may result from some cataclysmic "flash" instantaneous Heating by a brief intense pulse of a Solar Flare during some previous period of solar instability._*
Brien, I believe you to be one of the world's leading authorities in megalithic architecture, if NOT the world's leading authority...my only question is, what do mainstream academics think of your research?
the "fortress" walls have a zigzag shape to them (if viewed from the top), like the "staircase" shapes cut in the stone. I think we don't have any idea what the people who did all this believed.
nice video Brien, great round up of the many incredible sites, I love the look at the various styles of architecture in and around Cusco. Great city to visit.
Soon. Brien will be able to expand his tours. These magnificent structures are showing up in new countries frequently. The workmanship in Cambodia resembles that of Cuzco. Does make you wonder who the Hell did this work and when.
Gen 6, Jude 6 - fallen angels with their Nephilim offspring created a violent society earth wide, hence the necessary Noachian Flood. Jehovah will similarly bring this system to an end...very JWsoonORG
Wow! One of your best video tours yet! I am so thankful to get to see these sites and learn about them. Thank you so much for sharing this info, hopefully it will rewrite our incorrect history text books! Every High School kid needs to visit these sites to learn humanities true origins..........simply amazing........Merry Xmas to you and your wife. I hope to meet you someday on one of your tours, it will def. be in Peru!
Great footage and narration Brien, I second your thoughts and proposals. It really does seem like some sort of matter manipulation technology. Thank you as always.
You think most humans would build something as easily as possible - so bricks and small rocks you can lift with 2 hands. At what point is moving 30 ton and 40 ton blocks as big as automobiles ''easy'' ? It is only easy if you have something to use that would make so much great effort the easiest path: One movement of a huge object, instead of many small trips. If it was slave teams, were would they find that many people to move the huge stones ? Why drag tons of rock up a mountain ? Wouldn't digging in to the side of the mountain, forming caves, be so much easier ? Very interesting how the first Europeans to South & Central America destroyed so much old culture and ancient texts , information that would be priceless today.
@@illsaythefuckiwant1867 It would be interesting to project the current site locations on the map of Pangea, and see the structure in that context. I'm not sure if even these structures would have survived _that long, but it is an entertaining idea. Even if it is just an exploration of a theory, it might give us other ideas.
To me it looks like the kind of stucture one might build to withstand the kind of impact, pressure and maybe even heat associated with large scale natural disasters, like earthquakes, mudslides, magma flows or meteorite impacts - that last one would definitely explain all the underground structures that seem to be below every megalithis build. Bunkers, for short...
Very convincing and obvious that something happens in a massive scale and chaotic, not only here but globally, they are caught by surprise. Those who survive would need to start from scratch because all there technology is lost and throughout ages is forgotten.
@@galbeeri8360 Thanks back at ya ... It really does simplify how it was done instead of all this mystery.. But we Humans do love a good mystery...lol...
Several of the Stones shown from 3:40 to 4:00 seem to have drilled conduits for the passage of fluids or possibly for cables or other items. The Machining is precise and purposeful, inarguably for some function NOT mere decoration. We know of the "Baghdad Batteries" discovered decades past, which have residue of fermented acidic wine, and carbon rods wrapped with copper sheeting, with bitumen as a dielectric between them. These are thought to have been used in an electroplating process. We also know of the Steam-Powered Aeolipile device built by Hero of Alexander thousands of years ago, and the Antikythera clockwork mechanism with its multiple nested gears, also dated reliably to an age of several thousands of years. It saddens me to see the writer of the Smithsonian article calling it "The First Computer," as though this device with its precisely-crafted gearing suddenly appeared magically, as if there were no evidence anywhere that the ancients had ever conceived of interconnected gearing. The fact is, we know DAMNED little about the history of life on this planet, and so-called scholars embarrass themselves repeatedly by forgetting that. The historical record is scant, and all our excavations and examinations of past civilizations cannot keep up with the scavenging, vandalism, and plain heedless destruction of ruins that might illuminate our past. Worse, archaeologists put on "intellectual blinders" and refuse to SEE and acknowledge anything that does not neatly fit into their pinky-sworn description of what preceding generations may have accomplished.
Hard to imagine the destruction that took place. You're the first to send this type of info, that I know of. Where the megalithic stones pulled apart. In construction, where the old meets the new is always interesting but this is spectacular, to say the least...
In Peru the books are said by archeology teachers, and in universities they are taught, also the tourist guides in Cuzco say it in each guide to tourists. Visit Peru and you will know more about the Pre-Inca and Inca civilization
@@lolbr6818 On the internet you can find a lot of information here I show you something I hope you are interested www.go2peru.com/books/arqueologia_2.pdf
Actually, lots of cultures can fashion basalt without metal tools. In ancient Mexico, people sculpted and built basalt monuments millennia before metal was introduced. It's not as extraordinary as it sounds. It just takes time and effort.
THANKS FOR YOUR WORK BRIEN , YOU ARE RIGHT TO THE SPOT ! , THERE WERE ADVANCED BEINGS , BASED ON THEIR TECHNOLOGY , AND THEY WERE GIGANTS !, They did this work , and then the Inka emperors came to subjugate the people , only because the Inka emperors were like the robotic beings used to cover the past history !
it probably marks where water or electrical conduits are inside the blocks or where the electrical sorcerer lived. those snakes are on doorways all over the world. they have to mean something that we no longer recognize.
Check out Matthew LaCroix's video on the Eagle vs Serpent. This may explain the serpent symbolism on these blocks. th-cam.com/video/AdJMLqUmuYE/w-d-xo.html
@PaцḶєє BlцєṢтяєєт If all the blocks on the row where standing on the same level of plane they would push each other sideways during a earthquake, but if some are standing on the same row but on a lower plane with a bend in it, the sideways force gonna be redirected straight upwards since it will no longer touch the block on it`s side. All the rocks will just fall back where they where standing again, so in terms of a earthquake this design would basicly make it earthquake proof. 16:12 in the video. If that`s the intended design i don`t know but would assume so.
29:05 I work as a machinist and repair a lot of heavy machinery parts. This part just makes me think of a simple gearcase for a reduction gear. It probably isn't, just based on the spacing, But I remember seeing things like this with offset bores in other videos of yours. Very interesting.
I installed granite countertops for a few years and even with the diamond bits and sawblades we had it was still difficult. on that scale of construction based on my experiences it couldn't have been done with diamond bits/saw either. But some thing more advanced than even 19th century diamond tools.
I am convinced these massive blocks are actually geo-polymer cement individually poured into molds of some sort one at a time from the ground up. You often see protrusions toward the base of these "stones" but could these be the entry points of nozzles which pumped the cement into the molds and as the nozzles withdrew left a "dag" like peanut butter consistency ?
Mineral graphite powder cement paste with granite Mineral crystals like clay putty that solidifys they probably used a tree paste to bind the minerals to the cement in clear coat sap. Like stacking bags of cement and forming using water. They probably used 2 wood boards as tow sleds for the bags
Pretty cool. Just because you spent a few months or years trying to figure this out, doesn't mean it's all that difficult. They knew. They probably learned over centuries. A diamond bit hemp-rope saw can cut through marble, make a nice clean edge. Just need pulley system and power source (like a few lamas). Maybe those bricks were made of basalt clay, then hardened using high fire process, allowed to dry and harden for 10 years before final drilling, cutting, polishing-then left to dry for 100 years before using. There's a lot we don't know yet. You've got a pretty good theory. The ancient ones were the experts, we are not.
Examine the lines of the cataclysmic damage, and triangulate the angle of the fallen stones to find the location and distance of the impact / earthquake / event .
my father owned a structural steel company and when i was little and he was teaching me to weld he would get a pile of scrap and just leave me to weld them together and practice welding. when i see these places where they just made a bunch of random cuts and shapes for no reason it always makes me think of what i did as a kid. what if this was an area where they let the people that were learning practice with what did this and that is why there is no sense to what's going on with the shapes and stairs that go no where a child was playing or a apprentice was practicing. just a thought sorry i know my punctuation is horrible but i hope you understand what i am trying to say
I think you might be right on that, to make stones of that quality one would need allot of practice and experience. Maybe this was some sort of school?
A simple question: if the blocks fit so perfectly, it can be possible that dust, organic matter, pollen, bacteria and spores are still trapped between fitting blocks. If we could retrieve such organic matter, we could test the C16 and determine how long ago such blocks have been placed in position. If the result is 12.000 years ago, VAFFANCULO to all the historians and archeologists trying to sell stupid theories about copper chisels. If it says 1000 years then probably they are right.
Yes man, I do agree. I know somewhere they had to have squashed a mouse or insect somewhere in the stoneworks. A leaf, anything would do. The weathering at some sites in other parts of the world, it is so old. Some of this stuff man must go back tens if not hundreds of thousands of years. The implications as to who and why are just fascinating. And, you can bet they didn't use fire to turn the wheel.
This is a mind boggling quote from Brien Foerster @ the 17:18 mark of the video: "Were they able to manipulate matter in some way and temporarily make the stone go from a very hard consistency to almost marshmallow consistency?... We don't have any form of technology like that but SOMEBODY OBVIOUSLY DID IN ANCIENT TIMES".
Brian - is there LiDAR imaging of these sites? If so, is there any indication of new structures, etc.? Any surprises? Thank you for your excellent work.
great great job Brien... keep on hammering that it could not be made by incas, they only tried to imitate.. question to your geologist friends: could it be possible that basalt and some other very hard rocks today were long long long ago kind of malleable clay? I mean may be millions of years ago.. the rock did not came out solid from the volcanoes, dont´you think??
if you take andesite and basalt they came from liquid lava and cooling rapidly giving the absence of observable crystals , on the other hand granite is form under continent by very slow cooling of magma giving time to feldspar and mica to grow the last thing to solidify is liquid quartz joining everything together then plate tectonic and erosion made the granite to rise to the surface then it is already very hard
It's obvious that whoever built the first structures had the technology already available, it was easy and you can see this clearly throughout all megalithic structures. Clean, perfect, simple yet complex and ancient yet futuristic in design all at the same time....just as you'd expect it to look
In MHO I reckon they might well have used a rock-softening paste and after placing the stone they scraped the excess that squeezed out, with a shaped tool. The color and the shape of the joint suggests that possibility. Thank you Brien.
St.Petersburg to me is another example of someone having abilities to work wonders. The conventional explanation for how some of the incredible structures and artistic stone work was done just do not make practical sense. There are also earthworks of monumental proportion, such as a large canal that runs for many kilometers, that would require the manual removal of many cubic kilometers of often frozen ground by hand. The is a video at newearth: th-cam.com/video/MpRP4xNIWbs/w-d-xo.html
@@thedarkmoon2341 Yes I've seen them the polygonal walls etc. the builders were everywhere on the planet. One of the more interesting recent finds are the dolmens and giant sculptures in Montana which judging by the erosion are hundreds of thousands of years old. They were not at all adverse to advertising their presence and technology which has a certain megalomaniac quality about it. The question is often asked where are the tools.. anyone capable of this level of competence in the execution of these works had electricity and RFID chips in their equipment is not a large leap, they simply took it all with them. I think we're dealing with a civilization that is millions of years ahead of us and we are some sort of a jump started genetic experiment using some of their genes, as the Bible and Sumerian tablets clearly state. Their 1% probably lives damn near forever and may not be the nice guys we like to imagine them to be. They might even be able to use a giant eraser like a worldwide tidal flood to wipe the slate clean and reboot life as they like it, perhaps by steering a giant asteroid into one of the oceans. Go ahead call me crazy but when you eliminate all of the possibilities what remains, strange as it may seem, is probably the truth. A flood would destroy most terrestrial life without contaminating what remained...Tabula rasa.
I like how everyone who is a proponent of the solar ouburst idea never thinks about the fact that if a plasma outburst from the sun struck the Earth and was so powerful that it was physically damaging stones at the surface level, it would have obliterated much of the atmosphere that it entered through. I'm not even sure if our type of star is capable of projecting such a powerful outburst. Because we're talking about an insane idea here with the outburst being powerful enough to damage rocks at ground level... I don't think the people who talk about it realize the amount of energy we'd be dealing with. In other words, had that actually happened, we'd for sure know about it. We'd have more "evidence" than just some damged rock surfaces at some ancient sites. For example, it would have literally set the parts of the Earth it hit on fire (even just the ground itself), and there's no evidence of that. Sooo... Yeah.
I believe the world-wide Biblical flood was very much a “space event” (meteorites, sun events, etc.) and geological event (earthquakes) as well and would account for these signs of destructive heat, placement damage, as well as extreme erosion occurring as flood waters receded. Everything Brian documents fits with a catastrophic Biblical world view. Even if one doesn’t believe the Biblical angle, I appreciate the work Brian does to expose the ludicrousness of conventional archeology, anthropology, sociology, etc.
Your coverage of the stone masonry at Coricancha in 2:46 is outstanding, where was once built the Inca Temple near Cuzco. Such craftsmanship! I was just reading about that temple in the writings of Spanish chronicler Pedro Cieza de León. This Spanish chronicler visited Cuzco in 1550 and, at that time, the temple was said to be located about one "harquebus-shot" (a long-gun shot) beyond the north of the city, on a hill. Today, the city has greatly expanded and grown, and, now, the Convent of Santo Domingo occupies its site. The people went from worshipping the sun to worshipping the venerated man by all Catholics. In the early 16th century when the Incan ruler ruled the country, virgins (who were avowed to celibacy for their entire lives) were employed in the temple by weaving and dyeing woollen cloth for the service of the temple, as well as in making the alcoholic maize beverage called "chicha." The Spanish chronicler wrote that if one of these girls or women were ever caught having a sexual relationship with a male, she would be buried alive.
Sacsaywoaman? Idk how to spell it. Sexy woman is what it sounds like. Anyway it just looks like a rock quarry to me but with a very unknown way of cutting and removing the stone. Basically looks like a plot of land someone tore to pieces in minecraft lol.
To me it looks like something after a huge cataclysm and everything that could rot away has and left marks that look like that. Think about it.. how do you cut behind something?? Stairs are just where the staircase landed, since has rotted away and now they say they were carved out. We with "blocks" something was there, rotted away.....

The only thing I can accommodate and think of that 100% has the ability to change matter is high sound waves 〰 that's probably how the cutting works were done
Nope, no cutting done there at all. A cataclysm the likes of something we couldn't imagine popped off thousands of years ago. Destroyed everything, everything was tossed together, rock was "liquid" , everything settled, wood, iron, everything that could rot and disintegrate over time did. All that's left is the imprints of the old world.
The “nodules” are from where holes broke in the fabric bags/molding surrounding them before the concrete blocks had fully hardened, during the construction process.
Hey...good video with some neat camera work and pretty good narration. I reckon pre-flood hi-tech, forget aliens, man has ingenuity enough...or he _did_ have.

Thank you Mr. Foester for providing such educational stuff. Many people cannot travel due to physical and /or monetary constraints. I have always been interested in archeology. Your camera work is slow and steady so you can really focus on what is being shown. Also when people are in the picture , it helps to scale the site. Thank you very much 😊
Thank you taking the time to show all of us these places
Thx again, Brien, for the making another great video. Maybe it's just me, but this video stands out from the many others you have made in this area in regards to visual effects. It is very well done videography with stunning HD shots that made me feel that I was there, including the fear of being near the edges of some of these shear drop offs with only a thin rope barrier, and in many cases, nothing at all.
29:48 I wanted to see inside where the two 'drill' holes intersect. That 90 degree point would clearly show if some sort of hole boring bit was used!
I was interested in that, to see if it bottomed out, or if the bend is smooth, whichever way it is finished could tell us something baout the technique used
If they showed that then he couldn't keep making his BS claims of laser cutting or whatever silly shit they come up with.
I was here in 2007. Access was much easier with almost no restrictions and very few visitors. A local guide grabbed our hand and coaxed us through one of those tunnels - it went completely pitch-black and was a very tight fit. Incredible incredible place to see. We also stoped at another location on the way back to town that had a lot of water / irrigation tunnels bore into the stone. Similar to the upside down staircase area that was mentioned in the beginning of this piece.
i just went to Peru recently with the specific goal of investigating these rocks. In short, the trip is life changing, and these structures in the hills and on top of peaks of mountains are a marvel, words cannot describe the intellect and the bravery and ambition of the people who constructed them. I visited multiple sites, cusco, machu piccu, ollantaytambo and even some less famous ones like Pisac, which spans over an area of many hills and has many hidden structures scattered throughout the hills. I was looking specifically for the rocks that were noted as "superior." There were plenty to be found. The distinction between the inca and the previous builders was obvious.
I was specifically looking to investigate the joining surface of the rocks, in order to see how it is that they were cut or shaped. I found something very interesting. Even on the inside surface of the rocks it still looks as if it was chiseled. I have seen many different types of rocks that were cut with cutting tools. They leave a smooth surface due to heat and directional interaction between the cutting surface and the rock. The rocks i was looking at, while their surface was very flat, it was not smooth, and in my opinion not cut! It showed clear evidence of being chiseled. I found several rocks that were shaken apart for whatever reason, in each case the surface looked chiseled, or shaped by some kind of impact. Predominantly i saw this in ollantaytambo where the most impressive structures are found. How is that possible, well the surface at the millimeter level was actually very rough, inconsistent with it being cut. There were many peaks and troughs, on average they were 0.5 mm to 1 mm in height difference.
I had made the assumption that for the rocks to fit in such a tight way, the surface would have to be smooth. But this does not APPEAR to be the case. they are just very very flat and uniform. I feel that archaeologists or independent researchers are coming to a dead end in how these structures were constructed. How the rocks were moved etc. I just read an entire book that investigated how these rocks, along the rocks in Egypt, mexico, Easter island etc, were shaped, but the book could not provide any insight. mostly for the lack of empirical evidence and physical tools left behind by the ancients
Perhaps the previous cultures did have access to iron or harder metals. While i love to entertain the idea of redirected sunlight, lasers, or sound being the tool used to shape these rocks, the application of these sources of energy is difficult to control. The three dimensional cuts in rocks were shaped away by a metal chisel and a high degree of mathematical accuracy. I think that efforts made to develop and replicate metal tools and math that was used to create these rocks is the better approach. Metal can still be used to scrape and smooth surfaces to provide that polished sheen that is seen in many rocks.
I do believe there were cataclysms that wiped out these cultures to be sure. But it is hard for me to believe that the blast or energy from weapons of mass destruction were directly responsible. The damage is just too inconsistent. Some parts are "burnt" while other rocks right near them are completely intact. this rules out weapons of mass destruction since they are not so precise or discriminant. Heat weapons? The technology used to successfully construct a heat weapon is such that it would have reflected in this ancient culture much more prominently and in many other facets than evidenced by the megalithic construction, as impressive as these structures are!
Needles to say the more questions that are answered the more that arise. Great video, i hope that your consistent research of these sites yields some kind of answer, hopefully in this lifetime, hopefully more investigators join the effort. These were people who were far superior to inca or any other civilization that we ever studied in school.
@Peter Allen were you ever able to replicate the chiseled curves in the rocks? for example, the joining blocks being joined not by a straight surface but by a slightly curved surface. In this instance the curved concave surface of one rock would have to be matched by the curved convex surface of another to a very high degree.
@Peter Allen interesting...thanks!
Even iron tools do not explain how such huge stone could have been shaped. Even steel or hard steel. It does not matter. It would take months just to shape 2 blocks of granite with chisels and make sure the shapes fit. Nobody would even attempy such an endevour on such a huge scale. You have walls like that everywhere. It means it was an easy task to the point that is was commonly chosen as bulding tachnicque. It must have been pretty easy. The machining solution is far more reasonable. I also suppose you do not believe the drill holes where made by chisels. There are clear signs of cuts made by saw blades. Therefore machining WAS USED. There is no going around it.
@@rikirikibis I personally did not see signs of saw blades in Peru that I can recall. I did see the holes, most were sophisticated but worn by time and erosion. I mean, I agree with you, you make great points that I am well aware of and that are hard to ignore. I just dont think it was laser or sunpower. But im just a guy with an opinion trying to figure it out not an expert. Like I said, the surfaces of the inside of the blocks where they meet at such a fine level did not look cut, they looked chiseled. how long it took or how they were made is beyond me. But from the videos i watched on here that have evidence of saw marks and my personal experience and logic lead me to say that most of these rocks were NOT cut. They just do not look like it. The surfaces are not smooth, even in the spots were erosion could not reach them. I personally desecrated the ancient site and moved rocks apart to see (as wrong and as guilty as i felt doing it, i had to look because it is so damn fascinating).
As we cannot understand these cultures that could have been wildly different from us its hard to say what they were willing to attempt and how much they were willing to sacrifice in terms of time and labor. I am only looking at the cuts and examining them independently of the cultural aspect. And from what can be seen and felt, the rocks look chiseled, with whatever kind of tool they used it was something that created impacts on that surface. Its something you have to see for yourself and it just sheds more mystery on the whole damn thing.
But youre right, it would have to be easy for them for it to be so widely used, and even machines would have to have material tougher than steel to be able to shape the rock, and it seriously is everywhere.
@@LorisSolic Check the videos of Brien Foerster. There are many in his videos.
Great video, and you said it best ABSOLUTELY PROFOUND
I wish I had been more analytical when I was at these sites some 20 years ago. Thanks again, Brien.
I absolutely love these videos. I’ve become disabled and haven’t been able to explore or travel by plane anymore. My powerchair & my issues prevent me from flying. I do still have an inquisitive mind and so much free time on my hands, that this channel is a godsend. These videos I can watch conveniently from my iPad give me the experience as close to being there in person. Incredible! I love still being able to explore from my bed. Thank you for taking us all along with you on your expeditions, Brian. I’m so fascinated by these locations. Aren’t these constructions mind blowing & utterly puzzling ? So many questions so little time to find answers.
Let's take a step back from the debate and just admire Brian Foerster ability to organize his life around something he likes and thrives with and make a living with travel tours, pleasant entertainment and cultural tourism. This is worthy of respect and may inspire others to take better control of their own lives.
The ancient builders had a different mind set from the present day builders! Amazing information! Thanks!
@Oscar Sifuentes That's the funniest shit I've read thus week. Coming from an ironworker
All builders will take the most efficient path to get the job done, to save time and effort... What technology they did use made transporting tons of stone the size of small automobiles very easy... Air lift ? They would haul the largest stones to reduce the number of trips from the stone origin to the destination. I don't think the builders of the Megalithic structures were homo sapien... but one of the species that came before us.
@@SeaJay_Oceans We can do what they did now very easily. The only reason done historians make a big deal about these structures is because they think people from the past were simple minded cavemen. Ask the fellow ironworker in the comment section. Two 4x4 pieces of cribbing can hold 10 tons of anything without snapping. They rolled these things on logs then used wedges to lift one side on to the other and repeat the process until it was high enough to set. People all over the world do the sane thing.
@@lkjh3336 but even if we accept that is HOW they did such things, it does not address the question of WHY in the world would people drag thousands of tons of megalithic stone 40 miles, then up the side of a mountain, and build such huge constructions ? Did they experience magnetosphere inversion or nullification ?
One thing we can be certain: The Hebrew-Christian-Muslim assault of middle eastern cults against all other religions and beliefs has to stop, the far, far older cultures were NOT inferior, they were far more advanced in construction, farming, metal work, glass work, engineering of water control, artistic ability, language, sculpture, and in most every way possible, more advanced than the cultures we have today. It's they WHY that sticks in most people's minds, why they built such huge civilizations in the middle of nowhere, and why did they vanish from the face of the Earth ???
I remember when I was building all those years ago that I thought it was HOT being in the sun all day.
Now I've moved to a NEW country, I'm not so HOT.
I used to be so delirious I kept building walls and walkways and digging holes. We had no time for carving.
....spot on Brien.....Thanks for taking us along....good work and Merry Christmas to all !
Thank you for such lovely shots. Luckly visiting with my mother in the 1990s, I had the epithany that the ancients sculpted their rocks and structures to memic the landscape beyond. A sort of landscape worship, unmatched! Even echoed in stones within walls.
Simply Wow Mr Forester! I've always wanted to travel to some of these places, for many years, since I discovered all these "Megalithic" sites existed. But alas, I've probably left it too late now, so in your videos, you are my Eyes, Ears and asking the same questions that I would, so thanks so much for all your hard work! Please keep these videos coming for as long as you can. Many thanks, Pany.
I'm watching this video again 10 months later and I am just as astounded as I was the last time I watched it.
I believe that technology has been lost to the "cataclysms" and then re-learned and then lost again and so on for thousands and thousands of years.
Trying to imagine how the work was done... Were there giants? Did they have "special" powers? Where did they come from? ???
Incredible !!!
was there 2 years ago with my son, visited most those places, it was amazing, if you get a chance in life to go there, do it
Whenever i need a good dose of down to Earth stuff....stuff that means something to me...i listen to a Mr F upload.....for some reason, he makes more sense than all convention put together. God bless ya Mr F....peace.
The drill holes are baffling. I've used hammer drills with diamond tipped coring bits to cut through stone wall foundations for plumbing ect and lemme tell you its difficult with power tools so in my opinion it is absolutely impossible without power tools especially with copper anything I dont care if they added sand to help the cutting process it would take an insane amount of time it just would be too impractical way of constructing things of these magnitudes.
Well they could've been working on maybe of those things for very long periods of time over generations. Slowing removing material with an understanding of their local resources that escape us with our modern ways of looking and working material.
@John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt i noticed that too. but man NONE of this megalithic stonework makes sense. Its the same way in baalbek, egypt, and mexico. i just dont get it lol. And i still havent figured out what the Knobs are for.
Chrisley Lewis they use the same kind of rock and wood and to sand it the use a leaf 🍃 that call la mata de Portugal I can show you but now I’m busy
@Peter Allen not buying it. Ive thought about that too but it just doesn't satisfy.
Baffling because drilling holes in modern masonry does not make you an expert in archaeology
Thanks Brien for the fantastic tour and narration!
Well done! The effort needed to grow food in these difficult places speaks either to immense population of the entire Earth or a persecuted sect that took to the mountains as sanctuary - or there was some ancient valuable crop that only grew in these very expensive shelves.
the Coricancha is fabulously suspect for having been built by far-ancient civ. It blows my mind, just like the Serapeum at Saqqara
Several methods of fabrication of the polygonal masonry using clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, reduced clay models of the stone blocks, and a 3D-pantograph are described in the article “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”. I do not provide a direct link, because TH-cam does not allow a comment with this link. Search by the article title.

Brien, the differences between the pre inca & inca work is huge! The megalithic work is something unbelievable accurated, exquisite! It's really an high tecnology work, indeed!

Merry Christmas Brien and thank you for all of your gifts of wonderful videos.
A special thank-you for NOT pretending to know how it was accomplished! Well done Brien!
Oh boy an early christmas present.. excited to watch this, thank you so much for all your work Mr. Foerster!!
yep
Thank you for the panning shot opening this video. It's the first I've seen out of all your videos that shows the outward-projecting "bas relief" sculpted figures. As remarkable as the stones are for their precise fit, and the interlocking interior angles that make them so resistant to sheer forces, those figures underscore the stupendous mastery the ancient culture had achieved, whatever combination of technologies were used. However they were done, the figures require ADVANCE planning in addition to the shaping & fitting of the blocks. And yet they seem to convey an almost Whimsical sense, as if the builders are reminding us they were so utterly at ease with their techniques that they could just have fun as they worked.
Reminds me of some of the whimsical and even comic sculptures discovered in obscure bits of Europe's medieval cathedrals. Some of those were under construction for three or four generations, and stone carvers spent decades adding their contributions to the towering monuments, and managed to add both humor and reverence. Just as the Monks who added illustrations to the books they were copying by hand, showing scenes drawn from the life they witnessed around them.
_Sure would be nice if someone like Dr. Robert Schoch could examine the surfaces and comment on the extent of the weathering, with the perspective of a Geophysicist._ Your videos have shown us in some of Cuzco's streets, there are sequences of those megalithic wall blocks showing some Ancient "Glaze" that may have been an intentional surface from the time of construction, *_or it may result from some cataclysmic "flash" instantaneous Heating by a brief intense pulse of a Solar Flare during some previous period of solar instability._*
Brien, I believe you to be one of the world's leading authorities in megalithic architecture, if NOT the world's leading authority...my only question is, what do mainstream academics think of your research?
The way the stones all pillow in at the joints is interesting.
the "fortress" walls have a zigzag shape to them (if viewed from the top), like the "staircase" shapes cut in the stone. I think we don't have any idea what the people who did all this believed.
nice video Brien, great round up of the many incredible sites, I love the look at the various styles of architecture in and around Cusco. Great city to visit.
Thanks again Brien n merry Christmas everyone one love from Texas
Incredible! Thank you for this video. Your commentary is much appreciated.
Soon. Brien will be able to expand his tours. These magnificent structures are showing up in new countries frequently. The workmanship in Cambodia resembles that of Cuzco. Does make you wonder who the Hell did this work and when.
Gen 6, Jude 6 - fallen angels with their Nephilim offspring created a violent society earth wide, hence the necessary Noachian Flood. Jehovah will similarly bring this system to an end...very JWsoonORG

I hope to meet you someday on one of your tours, it will def. be in Peru!
When I look at the megalithic stone walls and the precision and sizes, it reminds me of looking at the overview of U.S. state maps
Great footage and narration Brien, I second your thoughts and proposals. It really does seem like some sort of matter manipulation technology. Thank you as always.
Every time I see those walls I have to ask myself, what were they trying to keep out? T-Rex? Love it Brien!
You think most humans would build something as easily as possible - so bricks and small rocks you can lift with 2 hands.
At what point is moving 30 ton and 40 ton blocks as big as automobiles ''easy'' ? It is only easy if you have something to use that would make so much great effort the easiest path: One movement of a huge object, instead of many small trips. If it was slave teams, were would they find that many people to move the huge stones ? Why drag tons of rock up a mountain ? Wouldn't digging in to the side of the mountain, forming caves, be so much easier ? Very interesting how the first Europeans to South & Central America destroyed so much old culture and ancient texts , information that would be priceless today.
Probably they were built in those times where dinosaurs lived who knows
@@illsaythefuckiwant1867 It would be interesting to project the current site locations on the map of Pangea, and see the structure in that context. I'm not sure if even these structures would have survived _that long, but it is an entertaining idea. Even if it is just an exploration of a theory, it might give us other ideas.
To me it looks like the kind of stucture one might build to withstand the kind of impact, pressure and maybe even heat associated with large scale natural disasters, like earthquakes, mudslides, magma flows or meteorite impacts - that last one would definitely explain all the underground structures that seem to be below every megalithis build. Bunkers, for short...
SeaJay Oceans yea but small bricks and stones would need a mortar to hold them and without it would make the structure very weak
Very convincing and obvious that something happens in a massive scale and chaotic, not only here but globally, they are caught by surprise. Those who survive would need to start from scratch because all there technology is lost and throughout ages is forgotten.
Those building blocks look like lava was being cut like putty as it was cooling.
I've never seen anything like this
Thankyou so much.

Beautifull video,like every.Happy Christmas,Brien.
Several of the Stones shown from 3:40 to 4:00 seem to have drilled conduits for the passage of fluids or possibly for cables or other items. The Machining is precise and purposeful, inarguably for some function NOT mere decoration. We know of the "Baghdad Batteries" discovered decades past, which have residue of fermented acidic wine, and carbon rods wrapped with copper sheeting, with bitumen as a dielectric between them. These are thought to have been used in an electroplating process.
We also know of the Steam-Powered Aeolipile device built by Hero of Alexander thousands of years ago, and the Antikythera clockwork mechanism with its multiple nested gears, also dated reliably to an age of several thousands of years. It saddens me to see the writer of the Smithsonian article calling it "The First Computer," as though this device with its precisely-crafted gearing suddenly appeared magically, as if there were no evidence anywhere that the ancients had ever conceived of interconnected gearing.
The fact is, we know DAMNED little about the history of life on this planet, and so-called scholars embarrass themselves repeatedly by forgetting that. The historical record is scant, and all our excavations and examinations of past civilizations cannot keep up with the scavenging, vandalism, and plain heedless destruction of ruins that might illuminate our past. Worse, archaeologists put on "intellectual blinders" and refuse to SEE and acknowledge anything that does not neatly fit into their pinky-sworn description of what preceding generations may have accomplished.
Your best video yet enjoyed your lecture but love the views of these places uninterrupted by talking heads. Thanks!!!
Hard to imagine the destruction that took place. You're the first to send this type of info, that I know of. Where the megalithic stones pulled apart. In construction, where the old meets the new is always interesting but this is spectacular, to say the least...
In Peru the books are said by archeology teachers, and in universities they are taught, also the tourist guides in Cuzco say it in each guide to tourists.

amazing, there is no way those blocks at beginning were done with copper chisels.
chicken bones and cactus needles in the skilled hands of people who even claim they didnt build them
Actually, lots of cultures can fashion basalt without metal tools. In ancient Mexico, people sculpted and built basalt monuments millennia before metal was introduced. It's not as extraordinary as it sounds. It just takes time and effort.
@@the_major so you're agreeing with me then, they didn't use copper chisels.
@@jonesconrad1 Yup. They would have just used stone tools.
The rock was heated and or melted and molded to fit together. Volcano heat...
THANKS FOR YOUR WORK BRIEN , YOU ARE RIGHT TO THE SPOT ! , THERE WERE ADVANCED BEINGS , BASED ON THEIR TECHNOLOGY , AND THEY WERE GIGANTS !, They did this work , and then the Inka emperors came to subjugate the people , only because the Inka emperors were like the robotic beings used to cover the past history !
I think the "snake" design is a part of the earthquake resistant properties since it would add to the interlocking features.
it probably marks where water or electrical conduits are inside the blocks or where the electrical sorcerer lived. those snakes are on doorways all over the world. they have to mean something that we no longer recognize.
Check out Matthew LaCroix's video on the Eagle vs Serpent. This may explain the serpent symbolism on these blocks. th-cam.com/video/AdJMLqUmuYE/w-d-xo.html
@PaцḶєє BlцєṢтяєєт If all the blocks on the row where standing on the same level of plane they would push each other sideways during a earthquake, but if some are standing on the same row but on a lower plane with a bend in it, the sideways force gonna be redirected straight upwards since it will no longer touch the block on it`s side. All the rocks will just fall back where they where standing again, so in terms of a earthquake this design would basicly make it earthquake proof. 16:12 in the video.
If that`s the intended design i don`t know but would assume so.
29:05 I work as a machinist and repair a lot of heavy machinery parts. This part just makes me think of a simple gearcase for a reduction gear. It probably isn't, just based on the spacing, But I remember seeing things like this with offset bores in other videos of yours. Very interesting.
I installed granite countertops for a few years and even with the diamond bits and sawblades we had it was still difficult. on that scale of construction based on my experiences it couldn't have been done with diamond bits/saw either. But some thing more advanced than even 19th century diamond tools.
Like always a magnificent Tour Ty. So many questions with no explanations or modern day Technology to achieve same results...
I am convinced these massive blocks are actually geo-polymer cement individually poured into molds of some sort one at a time from the ground up. You often see protrusions toward the base of these "stones" but could these be the entry points of nozzles which pumped the cement into the molds and as the nozzles withdrew left a "dag" like peanut butter consistency ?
Mineral graphite powder cement paste with granite Mineral crystals like clay putty that solidifys they probably used a tree paste to bind the minerals to the cement in clear coat sap. Like stacking bags of cement and forming using water. They probably used 2 wood boards as tow sleds for the bags
Some of the stones are just crumbled. It must have been incomprehensible forces!!
this is amazing for us that cant afford to travel, thank you
Thanks Brien; much appreciated : D
Such craftmanship.
Happy Holidays Brien. Hope to one day go along with you to visit the Inca sites.
Pretty cool. Just because you spent a few months or years trying to figure this out, doesn't mean it's all that difficult. They knew. They probably learned over centuries. A diamond bit hemp-rope saw can cut through marble, make a nice clean edge. Just need pulley system and power source (like a few lamas). Maybe those bricks were made of basalt clay, then hardened using high fire process, allowed to dry and harden for 10 years before final drilling, cutting, polishing-then left to dry for 100 years before using. There's a lot we don't know yet. You've got a pretty good theory. The ancient ones were the experts, we are not.
Thank you for your work!
I've been fascinated by this for years ! it hurts my brain just trying to think about how just how did they do it !
how far under the "inca" constructions do the blocks continue, is what I would like to know..

Amazing work mr Foerster.
my father owned a structural steel company and when i was little and he was teaching me to weld he would get a pile of scrap and just leave me to weld them together and practice welding. when i see these places where they just made a bunch of random cuts and shapes for no reason it always makes me think of what i did as a kid. what if this was an area where they let the people that were learning practice with what did this and that is why there is no sense to what's going on with the shapes and stairs that go no where a child was playing or a apprentice was practicing. just a thought sorry i know my punctuation is horrible but i hope you understand what i am trying to say
I think you might be right on that, to make stones of that quality one would need allot of practice and experience. Maybe this was some sort of school?
Sounds like a pretty reasonable theory to me
They were just playing with some boulders and practicing their aim with the laser cutter - that fits! :D
That truly is what it looks like someone was just going to town like doodling or practicing
I completely agree with you. that is exactly what it looks Like. how else would you refine your tool work
I would love to hear more about that volcanic extrusion
A simple question: if the blocks fit so perfectly, it can be possible that dust, organic matter, pollen, bacteria and spores are still trapped between fitting blocks. If we could retrieve such organic matter, we could test the C16 and determine how long ago such blocks have been placed in position. If the result is 12.000 years ago, VAFFANCULO to all the historians and archeologists trying to sell stupid theories about copper chisels. If it says 1000 years then probably they are right.
🎉🎉🎉yea
Yes man, I do agree. I know somewhere they had to have squashed a mouse or insect somewhere in the stoneworks. A leaf, anything would do. The weathering at some sites in other parts of the world, it is so old. Some of this stuff man must go back tens if not hundreds of thousands of years. The implications as to who and why are just fascinating. And, you can bet they didn't use fire to turn the wheel.
You should try with some sort of chisel. Maybe it will split nicely?
This is a mind boggling quote from Brien Foerster @ the 17:18 mark of the video: "Were they able to manipulate matter in some way and temporarily make the stone go from a very hard consistency to almost marshmallow consistency?... We don't have any form of technology like that but SOMEBODY OBVIOUSLY DID IN ANCIENT TIMES".

Really Great one Brian also really Love your books about ancient Peru , Liked and Shared , Thank You :) QC
great great job Brien... keep on hammering that it could not be made by incas, they only tried to imitate.. question to your geologist friends: could it be possible that basalt and some other very hard rocks today were long long long ago kind of malleable clay? I mean may be millions of years ago.. the rock did not came out solid from the volcanoes, dont´you think??
if you take andesite and basalt they came from liquid lava and cooling rapidly giving the absence of observable crystals , on the other hand granite is form under continent by very slow cooling of magma giving time to feldspar and mica to grow the last thing to solidify is liquid quartz joining everything together then plate tectonic and erosion made the granite to rise to the surface then it is already very hard
Roberto Jorge I've thought the same thing maybe it was softer a long time ago !
@@williamisenberg233 limestone was soft when deposited on the ocean floor millions of years ago
Roberto Jorge petrified organic matter after the flood
It's obvious that whoever built the first structures had the technology already available, it was easy and you can see this clearly throughout all megalithic structures. Clean, perfect, simple yet complex and ancient yet futuristic in design all at the same time....just as you'd expect it to look
This kind of flat, geometric styling I believe makes it more likely that sites such as Yonaguni in Japan are not formed naturally.
A very well done commentary, clear and precise!
The video was well done as well!🎉
8:14 if that rock was underwater, like the yonaguni ruins, people would say " it's a natural stone formation " ... ^^;
Just breathtaking, and your presentation quite good at getting to some of the best of it.
Omg, finally somebody who can see! Must not have an expensive degree covering your face...
Great educational video! I was there for a week and didn't find a guide with your knowledge.
36:51 there is a huge opening on the other side of the valley at the bottom, possibly been used or man made?

In MHO I reckon they might well have used a rock-softening paste and after placing the stone they scraped the excess that squeezed out, with a shaped tool. The color and the shape of the joint suggests that possibility. Thank you Brien.
There was mention of an indigenous bird that use 2 plant-based materials and spittle to make holes in rock to nest in!
Calling cards in stone: whoever did this is probably still alive and has a comprehensive film library of these constructions start to finish.
St.Petersburg to me is another example of someone having abilities to work wonders. The conventional explanation for how some of the incredible structures and artistic stone work was done just do not make practical sense. There are also earthworks of monumental proportion, such as a large canal that runs for many kilometers, that would require the manual removal of many cubic kilometers of often frozen ground by hand.

@@thedarkmoon2341 Yes I've seen them the polygonal walls etc. the builders were everywhere on the planet. One of the more interesting recent
finds are the dolmens and giant sculptures in Montana which judging by the erosion are hundreds of thousands of years old. They were
not at all adverse to advertising their presence and technology which has a certain megalomaniac quality about it. The question is often
asked where are the tools.. anyone capable of this level of competence in the execution of these works had electricity and RFID chips
in their equipment is not a large leap, they simply took it all with them. I think we're dealing with a civilization that is millions of years ahead
of us and we are some sort of a jump started genetic experiment using some of their genes, as the Bible and Sumerian tablets clearly
state. Their 1% probably lives damn near forever and may not be the nice guys we like to imagine them to be. They might even be able to use
a giant eraser like a worldwide tidal flood to wipe the slate clean and reboot life as they like it, perhaps by steering a giant asteroid into
one of the oceans. Go ahead call me crazy but when you eliminate all of the possibilities what remains, strange as it may seem, is probably
the truth. A flood would destroy most terrestrial life without contaminating what remained...Tabula rasa.
I'm always amazed about the levitation marks on the stones. 😂
I like how everyone who is a proponent of the solar ouburst idea never thinks about the fact that if a plasma outburst from the sun struck the Earth and was so powerful that it was physically damaging stones at the surface level, it would have obliterated much of the atmosphere that it entered through. I'm not even sure if our type of star is capable of projecting such a powerful outburst. Because we're talking about an insane idea here with the outburst being powerful enough to damage rocks at ground level... I don't think the people who talk about it realize the amount of energy we'd be dealing with. In other words, had that actually happened, we'd for sure know about it. We'd have more "evidence" than just some damged rock surfaces at some ancient sites. For example, it would have literally set the parts of the Earth it hit on fire (even just the ground itself), and there's no evidence of that. Sooo... Yeah.
I believe the world-wide Biblical flood was very much a “space event” (meteorites, sun events, etc.) and geological event (earthquakes) as well and would account for these signs of destructive heat, placement damage, as well as extreme erosion occurring as flood waters receded. Everything Brian documents fits with a catastrophic Biblical world view. Even if one doesn’t believe the Biblical angle, I appreciate the work Brian does to expose the ludicrousness of conventional archeology, anthropology, sociology, etc.
Your coverage of the stone masonry at Coricancha in 2:46 is outstanding, where was once built the Inca Temple near Cuzco. Such craftsmanship! I was just reading about that temple in the writings of Spanish chronicler Pedro Cieza de León. This Spanish chronicler visited Cuzco in 1550 and, at that time, the temple was said to be located about one "harquebus-shot" (a long-gun shot) beyond the north of the city, on a hill. Today, the city has greatly expanded and grown, and, now, the Convent of Santo Domingo occupies its site. The people went from worshipping the sun to worshipping the venerated man by all Catholics. In the early 16th century when the Incan ruler ruled the country, virgins (who were avowed to celibacy for their entire lives) were employed in the temple by weaving and dyeing woollen cloth for the service of the temple, as well as in making the alcoholic maize beverage called "chicha." The Spanish chronicler wrote that if one of these girls or women were ever caught having a sexual relationship with a male, she would be buried alive.
Sacsaywoaman? Idk how to spell it. Sexy woman is what it sounds like. Anyway it just looks like a rock quarry to me but with a very unknown way of cutting and removing the stone. Basically looks like a plot of land someone tore to pieces in minecraft lol.
To me it looks like something after a huge cataclysm and everything that could rot away has and left marks that look like that. Think about it.. how do you cut behind something?? Stairs are just where the staircase landed, since has rotted away and now they say they were carved out. We with "blocks" something was there, rotted away.....

u better go back to Legos - its basically pieces u put together . thats your level
Stunning. To imagine how they built these wonders
Earthquake proof
The only thing I can accommodate and think of that 100% has the ability to change matter is high sound waves 〰 that's probably how the cutting works were done
Define sound Waves, is all Vibrations Sound Waves, Energy Waves, Light Waves...
@@steve-o6413 yes your spot on mate. I should have been more clear but yes I agree with you 100%
Nope, no cutting done there at all. A cataclysm the likes of something we couldn't imagine popped off thousands of years ago. Destroyed everything, everything was tossed together, rock was "liquid" , everything settled, wood, iron, everything that could rot and disintegrate over time did. All that's left is the imprints of the old world.

That staircase attached would have been very narrow, like not more than a couple of feet or less.
The “nodules” are from where holes broke in the fabric bags/molding surrounding them before the concrete blocks had fully hardened, during the construction process.
stone will begin to shine when turning to glass, the shine you see was heat treated by a blast wave of heat
The next nova by the sun is 2046
The rock was heated and or melted and molded to fit together. Volcano heat...
it was a nuclear bomb
