In an interview in 1983, a catholic priest named Jorge A. Lira, who was an expert in Andean folklore, said that he had rediscovered the ancient method of softening stone. The plant in question, he called, 'jotcha', when mixed with other ingredients, turned hard stone into malleable paste. I searched around and the additional plants are: harakah-ama, kechuca, Pingo Pingo (Ephedra andina), Ephedra distachya. There's also a bird called, "jakkacllopito", it's a species of woodpecker from South America that fetches a rare plant that turns any stone to become weaker or dissolve. They use this plant to create burrow holes on hard stones for their nests.
This is what my friend from Peru said that the locals had a plant that can no longer be found but the made a paste that could soften stone. That was who the built everything around South America. I don't know of that's true or not but that's what he told me.
I saw a video on yt talking about that plant concoction as well. I think it said something about pyrite as an activator or accelerent. He was suggesting it was used on the polygonal masonry.
Great post my friend, my father fought in the second World war, he was born in the Balkan mountains in the former Yugoslavia. He told me that his grandfather used to be a stonemason, and that they had heard secrets from thousands of years ago on how to soften hard stone such as granite. My father said that they used the power of the sun 🌞, he was told that they used large parabolic mirrors made of a special crystal which would cause enough heat to act as a laser beam. He also told my father they used moulds with special plants extracts, herbs which was passed down through many thousands of years however it was lost through time. I lost my father when I was 11 years old you bought back great memories ! When people had so much wisdom and knowledge, thank you Preveen, I miss my dad!
Marvelous. In my childhood I used to read stories, say that a skilled sculptures (like Amara Shilpi Jakkanna) can identify a rock that is sleeping. A stone which is sleeping can be easily sculpted in whatever manner sculpture wanted. Now, I feel those stories are real. Thank you Praveen.
What baffles me is that such valuable ancient techniques have been lost but techniques such as wine / liquor making have been passed carefully down generations.
Have you considered that they arent lost and that scientists and researchers are simply looking in the wrong place? Who are the experts when it comes to carving, cutting, and finishing stones? Im curious what your answer will be.
@@dcmhsotaeh I don't think that invasions are responsible for the loss of ancient builders knowledge because it happened everywhere around the world, Egypt and middle east, south and central America, Asia, even Europe (Stonehenge, Carnac). I think that a cataclysm, related to the sun, almost extinct humans in our far history. I am convinced that Hindu temples, pyramids, Peruvian megalithic architecture belong to a far older civilization. The "great flood" is mentioned in many cultures and religions even in native American nations like Hopi in north Arizona, it's acknowledged that there is always a base of truth in legends.
There are evidences all around the world, the older the artifact, the better. (reaching to the level of impossible, for us). Also more than 250 cities under sea water in Mediterranean only, pre-dating the end of Ice age and, possibly, the ice age. Much older than the (supposed) beginning of civilization.
@@Yves95128 More people with passion as Praveen Mohan are required to uncover so many mysteries all around the world. I believe modern religions have caused destruction to ancient civilisations not only in India but all around the world. India too wasn't spared but somehow we have so many marvellous architectures in the country. India until recently hasn't received the recognition it truly deserves. Blame it on the biased historians, looters and plunderers who distorted history, way of living, business, techniques, technology, education and whatnot.
One of the most important statements of our time. I have no doubt we’ve forcefully forgotten our more advanced past. Our push for greed and power will be our downfall
Hi Praveen,in Ancient Greece they used the essence of certain plants to inlay into marble grooves..which enabled them to split the rocks into perfect blocks when hit down hard on that area. It makes sense as for instance rosemary tea dissolves your kidney stones.
Yes. I'm from Warangal. My grand parents used to say the same theory that the ancients use herbs liquid (pasaru) on the gaint stones which makes these stones soft and light weight. Dont know the Myth.
U know nidravastha of stone, u apply herbal liquid on stone and only for sometime they turns soft to carve and if u didn't finish in that particular time u have to wait for next day, that kondapindi aaku used for smoothening the surface of stone after carving and left with any patches.but u can't use that leaf to smoothen entire stone for carving.
Yes. light weight too. we have seen many gaint rocks placed at a height of 25 to 30 feet. this would be possible with herb liquid used on stones which make them light weight. That was the theory said to me. 😄
Well done. A true mystery! I wish more people would appreciate the skills and methods lost over time rather than assuming the tools found were the only ones used. Keep up the good work!
In my career as a chemist, I ran across a chemical that, in addition to dissolving asphalt to the point of leaving the aggregate stones completely white in one day, would also over three months’ time turn concrete into mush. I have little doubt there are other chemicals that could indeed soften various types of stone. What I find interesting, though, is that the ridges on that statue are very similar to the loops and whorls found on the tips of the fingers. I wonder if the pattern of those ridges are meant to show flow of energy on the surface of the body from the chakra sources inside, or something like that. Thank you, Praveen! You always present such thought-provoking information! ❤️👍
chisel pointed decorative work. the crystalline bonds between the different minerals in granite cannot be softened they just shatter. if a stone was able to be softened and shaped the distortion would be visible in the grain pattern.
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 If that got into general knowledge, unscrupulous people could use it to cause great destruction to bridges, buildings, roads, anything made with concrete or asphalt, so…no, I’m not telling.
Mountain Knot grass could be the answer, it is mentioned in the Ayurveda/Hindu books of medicine as a plant with a lot of potency( वीर्य) and heat (उष्न) and it was used by Indian doctors to melt/soften kidney stones through concoctions. Could it be any hint? I don't know.
One of my uncles(an archeologist) at Mahabalipuram said, some mixture of herbs was used to bend the hardened rocks. Same kind of methodology was expanded and used to carve many marvellous sculptures. It was said that the broken lingam inside the sea shore temple of Mahabalipuram was sculpted using herbal mixture.
In the era of Reels and tiktok you are really opening our minds to think little more and carry some research which will eventually lead to gaining some useful knowledge. Some knowledge that we as Indians and most importantly Humans must be known. It will help us introspect ourselves how our ancestors were advanced in such a level that we modern humans of present can't match their level of thinking . We must learn from our ancestors to make our present better and appreciate our ancestors . Proud to be an Indian and very thankful to you Praveen sir that people like you exists.
Hi Praveen, Tree roots will secrete some kind of acid which helps to soften the rocks and penetrate to get the nutrition. So that's why sometimes we find tree on a gigantic rocks. So ancient builders must have studied the chemical composition of these acids in the roots and did the reverse engineering. Hope this helps to connect some dots. Please let me know your thoughts.
Wrong. It’s just due to water pressure. As roots gather water enormous pressure develops that cracks rocks. Initially small plants make small cracks eventually bigger plants make bigger cracks. This is the natural process. But no plants do not secret any acid to dissolve rocks.
Maybe there are mushrooms on the roots involved. Since when earth was born there were oceans and bacteria inside. On land mushrooms turned stone and lava into fertile soil over a long period of time. Then at litoral aeras DNA of bacteria got mixed with simple plants. Never underestimate the power of mushroom.
Sometimes I wonder how would visiting temples today be if we do not view your videos. Thank you Sir for re bringing the eager to visit temples in many individuals. You are a true pride
Observe those smooth carvings on the idol, they look like human finger prints. Our ancestors are great in doing magic... Appreciate your good work Praveen sir
The idol? For goodness sake this is Hanuman! We are dealing here with the statue of Hanuman in granite! It is an ancient statue , much older than the 🕍 , made in the days where the presence of the Gods was still felt , still fresh , when the Gods were among men...
Your content is beyond excellent. You should be working at a TV station or something. Just one of your 10 minute videos surpasses hours long television documentaries. I'm definitely a fan because your videos are so informative and I like all the footage that you show.
The Late Thomas Varghese, owner of Beena Arts, Port Blair, expert in carving wood n stone, he sculpted most of the temple idols of Andaman. I seen him work on the idol of Lord Ayyappa, 1983 when I served on the passenger ship SSCholunga. He told me that he makes a concoction to soften Granite stone. Since that day, this question baffled me. He did make a few walking sticks n carvings on Hard plastic fishnet floats, for me. 🙄👍
since it is you and not him making this claim here your testimony would qualify as hearsay. if he actually did tell you this he was joking with you and misleading you, playing on your ignorance.
I feel it was a combination of many technologies , rock softening chemicals, a type of numerical controled machining , lathe , vibration and melting. That’s why there is evidence for all of them and hard to pin point one tech for all. Thank you Praveen Mohan , for being the cure
I've been an armchair researcher for over 20 years & remember finding a web page that had a collection of flood stories from all over the world - hundreds of flood stories. I remember a few accounts in different parts of the world that it said the flood waters (flood? rain? combo?) caused whole mountains to become soft (the wording made it clear that it wasn't just the dirt, but the stone too) while other stories mentioned that they learned from how the great flood made stone soft & figured out how nature did it & maintained that technology. Of course, almost all ancient technology was lost as more cataclysms hit the Earth. I'm sure I saved this web page, so if I can find it I will post it. The indigenous flood stories are fascinating & I believe the symbolism therein holds many technological & spiritual secrets!
You can check out the workmanship of sculptures on hindu temples in USA, Canada, or UK. Especially temples of BAPS...the swaminarayan sect. It is similar to the older temples.
Ha ... New temples of present day India made out of modern equipments can't even lick the foot-dust of the magnificency of the ancient ones... They're f**kingly grand and astonishing..
Been watching your channel for years, Praveen. Awesome stuff and keep it up. 😊 Like you, I have been wondering for years how they did it...in Cambodia, India, South America, Petra etc and have seen many theories. The only one that made sense was that the Ancients were expert at doing one thing... Making a very awesome concrete conglomerate out of powdered local rocks mixed with powdered limestone, ash and chalk and then pouring the mixture into wooden molds which were already in situ. The concrete hardened very fast...in about 8 hours to become almost indstinguishable from the sourced rock. The "melting effect" we are seeing happened very slowly over the past 200 years due to acid rain on the limestone.. This is the theory which resonates with me.
BINGO! Correct. My thoughts and conclusions entirely. That is the whole perfect explanation in a nutshell. 🙂. Agreed. Except that it doesn't take 8 hrs - like our concrete today. Theirs was much stronger and it hardened very quickly - in a matter of minutes or seconds even - after doing some dissolving of the softer, more porous tissues often - things like fingertips, toes, eyes, lips, genitals etc. But when it hardens, it happens in an INSTANT - I have concluded, from seeing so many examples. Everywhere, of mudfossils in nature and of supposed statues - which turn out to have real, once-living creatures inside them - with bones sticking out here and there - and various soft fleshy parts dissolved. I'm convinced it happens very quickly. And so many strange "Gods" in statues were actually once living Nephilim beings - who actually stood or sat for their statue and went willingly into it, just to be immortalised in stone and worshipped as a god. Strange but true - those crazy Nephilim!
@@r.j.1843 Yep and about half way through the curing process, those metal clamps were added to give the structures extra stability in earthquake zones..they certainly knew a lot and were very industrious people. Those funny, mishapen stones occured when some of the mixture accidentally leaked outside the bottom of the mold. Perfect examples to be found in Lima, Peru.
You can't make a mix of anything and have it be indistinguishable from its natural source. Possibly to the eye you could but a microscopic examination will easily tell if the material is natural or man made. You cant simulate the interior of the earth where rocks form just by mixing a few ingredients.
@@lc285 Think about it. Remember the spark plug and hammer encased in "solid" rock? We have been experimenting getting that recipe right for millennia. And where do you think all the trees on Easter Island went to? Before the locals had to burn all their molding for fuel when the last Maunder minimum set off the Younger-Dryas event.. Yep, I pay attention in class..
The explorer Percy Fawcett said that in South America the knowledge of making a stone-softening chemical derived from observations of a small bird that nested in sheer rock faces. The birds were taking leaves from a local plant and rubbing them over the rock to create a big enough hole to build a nest in. The ancient Egyptians may have had knowledge of a similar method, since they could cut intricate designs in granite even though they only had copper tools.
Good information🙏 Ephedra andina (a gymnosperm) and/or Ageratina cuzcoensis (member of sunflower family) are the probable plants used by Inca artists, for stone-softening.
@@Royalbob123 Sir, the species mentioned above are the nearest possible plant species reported in contemporary journals; the Mesoamerican master craftsman, have sadly not recorded the secret combination for the generations to emulate✌, 🙏
I can't forget a incident that happened in front of me in my village uttar pradesh, India. A old wizard (man) around 60+ broke the heavy stone without touching it with a wooden stick....i am still confused, how did that old man break the stone without touching it.....
Me too. In Agra near Hanuman Mandir there is old man who after spry something on large stone and come back after 7 days, somehow broke a large stone with his stick. Many people say it is magic, other people say it is good trick. I believe second group. There is no such spry or herb who soften a stone. Its trick or in this cast some advance metal trick .
The knobs I always thought were risers... When I used to pour metal in molds, we had breathers like that so we got a perfect pour. It was either poured into molds, or CNC machinery!
Litho, stone formation in kidneys is sedimentary. Did you know the center portion of the banana tree trunk, is cooked n eaten in South India. The juice it contains has the power to dissolve kidney stones. My navy dad suffered with severe stones, excruciating pain, bleeding. 1st time 1967 he was catheterized but within a year the pain was back. The exArmy Capt doctor advised my dad to start adding the banana pith, made like a salad with curd, called raita, in India. 3 weeks later, xray showed nil stones n the pain never recurred till his sailing away in Dec2010. The depressions formed by calculus, remain, giving foothold to newer formation. This stem juice smoothed the depressions away. If any need I can write the exact way this salad has to be prepared
Hi Praveen Garu, people like u need to funded by the government for ur diligent and esoteric work ❤️❤️❤️. You are a torch bearer. Really happy for ur initiative to post videos in regional languages to expound ancient info to regional people, who r not familiar with English 👏👏👏.
The nubs/knobs are part of the softening process/technology. The fact that the nubs are all over the world on many advanced ancient megalithic structures proves the process/technology was used all over the world. Thank you as always Praveen.
No you were wrong... Herbal metallurgy was only available in south Asian sub continent ..... Unlike metals, rocks were melted through herbs alchemical reaction. there are more melted rocks seen in several temples of India but no elsewhere around world esp on west ...Rocks can be melted like metals with alchemical knowledge
To my understanding- gained from reading RA material : law of one (a channeld masterpiece of detailed technical & soul evolution information regarding earth’s & humanity’s history). The ancient beings possessed a higher state of consciousness and could by focus - connect to the rock on molecular level. And then imagine the new shapes & levitate the material in place. Often as group effort. Hence perfect symmetries, and impossible seeming cuts. My guess is that those nubs (found allover the world in megalithic buildings) are the points where the meditators(builders) held their hands when communicating with the material. Maybe herbs helped mind & the meditation process? 🧘♀️ 🧘 Glass blowing leaves a similar ”nub” to its connecting point to the blower shaping it. Namaste
@@thomaxtube wow thank you very much. It is amazing to think how conscience was so different so long ago. I also wonder if sound was used to rearrange the molecules like cymatics
Great work as usual Praveen. If you come across the stone softening answer please let Brian Foerster know. He's been baffled for decades with it. Amazing work on the statue👍
It finally makes sense to me... bush walking I'd often find myself asking.. how do big trees grow in the rocks and calve them from cliff walls... I learnt about ancient rock softening .. discovered by watching birds using sticks from a certain plants to dig holes in cliff faces... apparently applying sap in the morning and scraping the hole out in the evening
@@ewaczupryna6905 animals Know naturally which plants are good for them..they have already been programmed.iI have seen chats searching for spécial will plants and eating them.....who taught them?no one...
what you see no. one. else see. that what you explain no one else. can explain that. please teach this. way of seeing to new generations don't let it be limited to TH-cam videos only. Namaste 🙏
Dr. Charles Kos who I believe is working on a doctorate in anthropology or archaeology but has his Doctorate in chemistry had discovered some ancient chemical compound that would soften or melt Stone. Like those pictures of the melted Stone steps you would see. You two should collaborate I have sent him some of your videos. He has a TH-cam channel under his name.
Geopolymers. Formed, or carved before solidified, or applied to a surface like a stucco or plaster. There is also evidence in South America of stone softening using plant and fruit acids. Thanks for sharing!
It is great seeing you on history channel! Yes the stone softening theory or super heat and even grinding granite into a slurry or paste to make forms is intriguing
Hey @praveenmohan! Greetings from America. My name lends itself to a chemical compound, HF, hydrogen fluoride, that will indeed soften rocks like granite. I have read of some research online, where this is shown. I will post in this comment, when I find the info. Thank you for opening up the INCREDIBLE stonework found in India! You are contributing majorly to an awakening of lost knowledge/understanding. Keep at it! 🤗
Let me start to say that I love your video's, you and your knowledge are amazing! This theory about stone softening is also common in Peru, where we ofcourse also find amazing ancient buildings that look to be done by unknown technology. One of the first explorers of machu pichu and other sites in Peru found out that there is a bird that uses a plant to mix with his saliva that softens stone to make nest holes in rock faces. A TH-camr named Charles Kos made a very interesting video about it. He claims he can find proof that also the Egyptians might have used this method. Please keep on making video's for ever!!
Praveen, you should be teaching at a university, you are above the TOP! Thank you for all the fantastic knowledge that you have shared, you help connect the dots. Take care.
Watching every episode of Praveen's interesting take on some unique features of anceint/historical Indian temple technology, I wish, all that knowledge & information could have been kept still available, but for all the invaders from outside, who had only brute force, but no brains to understand/appreciate such works, distroyed all the records/libraries/universities(vidya peeths) & even distroyed many of such temples of those times. If only we could rewind the time........
These fine lines could be "LANGERHAN'S Lines" depiction. Lines which are used by surgeons to give minimum scars. From medical point of view specially plastic surgery these lines are very important. Look from these angle too
This is the 3rd video I’ve seen of yours!! It just showed up in the list of what I was watching! Thank you so much for all your hard work! Each one has been so interesting I can tell you did a lot of investigating!! I have loved all 3 !! 🥰
Remarkable , Thank you , Praveen and team for all your hardwork and dedication to bring this valuable information to our attention and help us appreciate how precious and priceless our beautiful temples are and to take us back to the past to give due credit to those thousands of people - Kings, architects , builders, masons etc . A big namaskaram to all of them. Thank you so much for reducing our ignorance one video at a time. Commendable work for the future generations..Best Wishes and Good Luck. 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🕉🕉🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🌏
Another fine example Praveen! Love your channel and look forward to this fascinating journey, with you and your amazing followers. Another idea I had when seeing the carvings here, is what exactly was the artist showing us? The swirls on the chest, appear to be toroidal polarity. But I wonder what the big picture is here, so to speak. 🤔
Its so weird that there are these ancient technological mysteries all over the world and often the same and yet these ancient people never left behind a clue about how they did it...as if they all agreed to not mention it anywhere.
My dad once told me people used to mix some herbs and chemicals to make rocks turn into clay to shape it and it was forgotten. A stone is a crystalline structure so if you can soften these crystals you can shape it however you wish.
Yes - maybe the herbs were a part of the process too. This was used in South America too. Sacsayhuamen etc. Plus see my comment above, to Praveen. This mystery can be explained - but not by conventional knowledge. The key secret is that they knew not just how to soften natural stone - but how to create it out of special concrete - and how to actually petrify anything, including living beings - in order to turn them into idols and temples. Then add more layers and work the surfaces so that they look more manmade. 👍
Infinite - Yes - and above I just outlined the secret techniques by which they did it. They are not carved Sculptures into hard granite at all. Nor even just softened with herbs, though they maybe used that to rework the outer surfaces. But in the first place - these are actually once-living creatures - who actually volunteered to be turned into stone, to become idols for people to marvel at and worship them. This is the truth - and you can see it for yourself if you look closely - and research mudfossils and petrification. Whoever wishes to truly understand...
@@r.j.1843 Hmmm...you got me thinking.... I've seen an exhibition in the science center where human bodies -once alive- were plasticized and displayed as art. So you could be right!
In South America there is also myths about herbs that can soften stone. According to natives, birds were seen making nest in granite faces by applying some plant, then hollowing out nests. Ancient people saw this and built caves this way.
Hey Proveen, great video as always. Several years ago, I ran across an article and a video on YT that showed that a Peruvian bird would burrow holes in granite rocks to make a nest. He would fly down to get these red leaves (I can't remember the plant) and rub this red leaf on the granite cliff, then drop the leaf and begin pecking away at it with his beak. The plant would soften the stone to a point where he could dig a few centimeters a day after repeating the process over and over. Peru has a temple structure (can't remember the name of it) where the stones are "fitted" perfectly together. The legends from that area state that the ancients knew the recipe for stone softening and used this plant. I can't find the video or the article to send to you, but maybe this helps.
Right, Erich von Daniken mentioned this, I think. Try "green chisel" or "caochyll" maybe, I just looked for "herbs that soften stone" and those came up.
Good point. This is actually the second time I've heard this theory about softening stone. There might be something to it. Oh, and just because we haven't heard about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm starting to think that there are groups of people that know all of this shit. They just keep it hidden.
Look at photos of, among others, the (andesite) megalithic stone walls of Sacsayhuaman , Peru, it looks like the surface of the stone was troweled like concrete, also, the under side of the unfinished gigantic (granite) obelisk in Aswan, Egypt, it looks like the granite was scooped away like ice-cream.
Praveen i thank you very much for your great work and Videos. Your work is incredible and you have a good neutral look at all this things. Thank you for finding and showing all of us this locations and explaining. For me you are one of the most interesting youtube channels in the hole world. I hope you go on like this. I bless you my friend. I wish you much health. Thank you for your work. Greetings from Germany.
Preveen- absolutely love your work! I wonder if there was a combination of processes - maybe with the sun stronger in ancient times they could use something to “melt the stone” add the herbs to break down further then something. With vibration could then do the carvings ?? When we speak to people who work with granite I would be interesting in learning the ways modern man would believe the element could be softened - even studying the chemical breakdown of granite in a molecular level - how does one melt quartz? These statues are so awe inspiring and so is your work !!!
Hattsoff because you have made your researches and marvellous findings freely available for all....people sell smallest of things ..a simple wildlife picture clicked by photographers are sold for hefty amounts....and your works,which are par excellence are just in social interest.....great job man... blessings and wishes for you...keep going 👍
Another possibility is that the material was already slightly soft when they began to carve it...then, with exposure and time hardened. Some of the sediments deposited after the great flood may have taken much longer to become solid rock...and the people afterwards used this material to create intricate designs. But, I'm probably way off. I appreciate your channel very much, thank you.
@@bluevireo425 I’m sad to say that unfortunately you are way off and I mean no disrespect in saying that. It all has to do with granite and the formation of it and other metamorphic stone. While sediments can become stone, they can’t become granite due to the properties of the minerals in granite, specifically quartz and how it’s formed. It’s worth learning about and I highly encourage you to ask questions and seek answers. The same applies to fossils, specifically, how they are identified. If you don’t know the process you won’t know what evidence to look for or how to evaluate what’s presented by others. One of my hobbies is fossil hunting and preparation and it’s a stupidly complex thing to do as a hobby that requires multiple scientific disciplines and niche skill sets like lapidary and masonry. A big reason why neither the experts nor the skeptics manage to figure things out is because they lack the complete skill set and knowledge to put it together. Whether the pyramids of ancient Egypt or the rockets that took mankind to the moon, it wasn’t one person or country or industry that just up and built these. It took many people across many cultures and fields of industry and knowledge, trading and developing skills and technology over time. It appears like a singular event or a singular nation or culture did it, but only because they are the ones who needed a thing built and a reason to put these things together to achieve a goal. When that culture or nation falls, the technology isn’t really lost. The Individual pieces often continues as it was, practiced by skilled tradesmen or industries, elsewhere in the world. You’ll find no better example than Sri Lanka where skilled craftsman still cut and polish sapphires and ruby’s using using simple hand powered lathes made of wood featuring lead grinding / cutting wheels. They use an abrasive powder made of corundum. Some even use one made of a combination of plant fibers. In one region, In the hills, scientists discovered the locals making high quality carbon steel with nothing more than clay boxes built to channel wind, places into the side of a hill, powered by annual monsoon winds. It took the modern blast furnace to match their simple yet clever technique. It cracks me up that people think some one trick pony of an idea did the thing. Sound levitation or stone softening chemical or sun mirror. I think Praveen is close but it’s a simplistic view. There is an ancient mixture that made stone soft, but not in the way he’s thinking. It was an abrasive powder
@@sultros Great Comment! What I was trying to say was that possibly some of these temples are Flood Remnants...and just as wood pretrifies into various gem stones...possibly some of these Temple carvings are older than we think and are carved from wood that was submerged and dried etc... Just a thought. I agree with much of what you said, especially compartmentalization and how it really is a double edged sword..advancing technology but dumbing down understanding. I am not a believer in the Moon landings or any of that, honestly have become someone who has learned to observe closely..and believe we live in an enclosed Plain. As far as the fossils...awesome...have fond memories of childhood hunts of fossils in the fields behind my home...Even found Trilobites...was very fun. Later I thought...Why so many DEAD animals at once...It most definitely in my opinion was NOT the Cambrian Explosion...it was the remnants of dead animals from the Great Flood. Of course we know even today just by observation that dead things get consumed by the living...and things do not die en mass without a disaster. Good fossil hunting to you and it is very true what you said about the carving and use of tools...most things we see today are made with tools that were once hand tools...and slower methods...but same result. hangman1128 has some real interesting videos showing veins of Quartz in ancient Giant Trees...very worth looking at, if you dare to have your mind expanded.
Not sure if I ever commented on your channel, but, just wanted to offer a note of appreciation for your interesting, educational and enlightening videos. Great work! Thanks!
Hi praveen....I believe in the ancients using some sort of lost technique to soften stone....places like sacshuyaman in peru etc are good examples....im wondering if sound vibration frequencies would soften the rock or shatter it...be good to here you thoughts on this 🖖
As usual Brilliant.Some one articulate like you alone can bring out the secrets of the bygone era.Makes us proud to think that our forefathers could bring about such brilliant technologies,and that we are their prosterity.
In Peru, there is a bird called the jakkacllopito that takes a red leaf from the kechuca plant and rubs it against a granite edifice with its beak thereby creating a tiny hole big enough for it to nest in. There are other plants that have similar properties all over the world. If a plant is capable of rooting itself into rock, then its roots secrete and enzyme which is capable of softening rock. Plant roots are much softer than stone, so it would be impossible for them to penetrate rock if it didn’t secrete this enzyme. If the ancients noticed this phenomenon happening in nature, then they surely would have experimented with extracting this enzyme to help themselves with their own constructions and artifacts.
State of Matter can be convert in any desireble form on molecular level eg. In stone crasher some parts of stone dissolve in air in form of dust it might be possible accinent people had mastered object's forms on molecular level thankyou Praveen sir for sharing this
@@Batega_toh_Katega_Hindu_108 is not opinion from my perspective I am master stone tradesman and utilize this technique. This is the difference between me and others who only speculate . Is not a logic argument from me but a trade practice reveal.
@@Batega_toh_Katega_Hindu_108 technically it means significant knowledge and skill in 4 or more of the trades within the stone industry at a practising professional level. Of course one can not be at a master level across the entire stone industry since there are too many trade divisions. Each trade division requiring approximately a decade of experience to achieve competency. For the purposes of this discussion I would qualify as an authority since the various stone trades i am directly involved with are included in this type of stone work being scrutinized. It is not about knowing everything but rather knowing the specific things relating to the questions at hand.
so if softening chemistry exists why is it now used in the stone industry today? we have the ability at the atomic level to observe and analyze geochemistry and create a solution. unlike trial and error used by past generations. it is simply because chemical softening stone for workability is just a myth, folklore.
I greatly admire your love of ancient history and knowledge, and your drive to share it. I just came across the practically unrefutably, "softened rock" theory about a year ago. Why, owe why are there no scientists or geologists students or professors out there dedicating themselves to rediscovering this ancient lost technique/art. I am well aware that money is the driving force for so many things in modern life. Surely, once the "recipe" is rediscovered, it could be monetized in some way to justify the extensive research. The rediscover would more importantly open our modern minds so much, when considering our collective past as humans.
I can think of three other possible ways 1..precise concentrated light beam,/Lazer concentrated using, certain materials 2.pressurized water stream 3.pressurized air stream Also looking at the depth of curves I think it could be carved using sharp tool by brute force, repeatedly scratching, also Pressurized water jet, water is in fact not harder than granite.

What if all these temple's where made out of wood and then was petrified by flood.
I too heard that herbs soften rocks
In an interview in 1983, a catholic priest named Jorge A. Lira, who was an expert in Andean folklore, said that he had rediscovered the ancient method of softening stone. The plant in question, he called, 'jotcha', when mixed with other ingredients, turned hard stone into malleable paste. I searched around and the additional plants are: harakah-ama, kechuca, Pingo Pingo (Ephedra andina), Ephedra distachya.
There's also a bird called, "jakkacllopito", it's a species of woodpecker from South America that fetches a rare plant that turns any stone to become weaker or dissolve. They use this plant to create burrow holes on hard stones for their nests.
thats hillarious! wtf! it is true!
Tha ks for sharing its good information
Firstly, are these plants still around? If so, has anyone tried to soften rocks with this concoction recently?
This is what my friend from Peru said that the locals had a plant that can no longer be found but the made a paste that could soften stone. That was who the built everything around South America. I don't know of that's true or not but that's what he told me.
I saw a video on yt talking about that plant concoction as well. I think it said something about pyrite as an activator or accelerent. He was suggesting it was used on the polygonal masonry.
Great post my friend, my father fought in the second World war, he was born in the Balkan mountains in the former Yugoslavia.
He told me that his grandfather used to be a stonemason, and that they had heard secrets from thousands of years ago on how to soften hard stone such as granite.
My father said that they used the power of the sun 🌞, he was told that they used large parabolic mirrors made of a special crystal which would cause enough heat to act as a laser beam.
He also told my father they used moulds with special plants extracts, herbs which was passed down through many thousands of years however it was lost through time.
I lost my father when I was 11 years old you bought back great memories ! When people had so much wisdom and knowledge, thank you Preveen, I miss my dad!
Really appreciate this information, thank you!

Marvelous. In my childhood I used to read stories, say that a skilled sculptures (like Amara Shilpi Jakkanna) can identify a rock that is sleeping. A stone which is sleeping can be easily sculpted in whatever manner sculpture wanted.
Now, I feel those stories are real. Thank you Praveen.
Bcuz its biological

What baffles me is that such valuable ancient techniques have been lost but techniques such as wine / liquor making have been passed carefully down generations.
There is priorities in life.☺️
man can always sleep in hole. but rotted fruit isnt the same.
Have you considered that they arent lost and that scientists and researchers are simply looking in the wrong place? Who are the experts when it comes to carving, cutting, and finishing stones? Im curious what your answer will be.
@@dcmhsotaeh I don't think that invasions are responsible for the loss of ancient builders knowledge because it happened everywhere around the world, Egypt and middle east, south and central America, Asia, even Europe (Stonehenge, Carnac). I think that a cataclysm, related to the sun, almost extinct humans in our far history. I am convinced that Hindu temples, pyramids, Peruvian megalithic architecture belong to a far older civilization. The "great flood" is mentioned in many cultures and religions even in native American nations like Hopi in north Arizona, it's acknowledged that there is always a base of truth in legends.

There are evidences all around the world, the older the artifact, the better. (reaching to the level of impossible, for us).
Also more than 250 cities under sea water in Mediterranean only, pre-dating the end of Ice age and, possibly, the ice age. Much older than the (supposed) beginning of civilization.
@@Yves95128 More people with passion as Praveen Mohan are required to uncover so many mysteries all around the world. I believe modern religions have caused destruction to ancient civilisations not only in India but all around the world. India too wasn't spared but somehow we have so many marvellous architectures in the country. India until recently hasn't received the recognition it truly deserves. Blame it on the biased historians, looters and plunderers who distorted history, way of living, business, techniques, technology, education and whatnot.
One of the most important statements of our time.
I have no doubt we’ve forcefully forgotten our more advanced past.
Our push for greed and power will be our downfall
Hi Praveen,in Ancient Greece they used the essence of certain plants to inlay into marble grooves..which enabled them to split the rocks into perfect blocks when hit down hard on that area.
It makes sense as for instance rosemary tea dissolves your kidney stones.
Yes. I'm from Warangal. My grand parents used to say the same theory that the ancients use herbs liquid (pasaru) on the gaint stones which makes these stones soft and light weight. Dont know the Myth.
Thank you for sharing this info, Karthik.
Yes I heard that liquids of herbs makes rocks to hybernate. And then ancient builders carved them easily
And "light weight"?!
U know nidravastha of stone, u apply herbal liquid on stone and only for sometime they turns soft to carve and if u didn't finish in that particular time u have to wait for next day, that kondapindi aaku used for smoothening the surface of stone after carving and left with any patches.but u can't use that leaf to smoothen entire stone for carving.
Yes. light weight too. we have seen many gaint rocks placed at a height of 25 to 30 feet. this would be possible with herb liquid used on stones which make them light weight. That was the theory said to me. 😄
Well done. A true mystery! I wish more people would appreciate the skills and methods lost over time rather than assuming the tools found were the only ones used. Keep up the good work!
Praveen I really appreciate you and all the work you do to help us better understand these things 🙏 🌹🇺🇲 GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 👍
Thanks a ton David!! God bless you too!!
In my career as a chemist, I ran across a chemical that, in addition to dissolving asphalt to the point of leaving the aggregate stones completely white in one day, would also over three months’ time turn concrete into mush. I have little doubt there are other chemicals that could indeed soften various types of stone. What I find interesting, though, is that the ridges on that statue are very similar to the loops and whorls found on the tips of the fingers. I wonder if the pattern of those ridges are meant to show flow of energy on the surface of the body from the chakra sources inside, or something like that.
Thank you, Praveen! You always present such thought-provoking information! ❤️👍
That was my first thought.
chisel pointed decorative work. the crystalline bonds between the different minerals in granite cannot be softened they just shatter. if a stone was able to be softened and shaped the distortion would be visible in the grain pattern.
Well, what's the name of that Chemical??
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 If that got into general knowledge, unscrupulous people could use it to cause great destruction to bridges, buildings, roads, anything made with concrete or asphalt, so…no, I’m not telling.

Mountain Knot grass could be the answer, it is mentioned in the Ayurveda/Hindu books of medicine as a plant with a lot of potency( वीर्य) and heat (उष्न) and it was used by Indian doctors to melt/soften kidney stones through concoctions. Could it be any hint? I don't know.

One of my uncles(an archeologist) at Mahabalipuram said, some mixture of herbs was used to bend the hardened rocks. Same kind of methodology was expanded and used to carve many marvellous sculptures. It was said that the broken lingam inside the sea shore temple of Mahabalipuram was sculpted using herbal mixture.
In the era of Reels and tiktok you are really opening our minds to think little more and carry some research which will eventually lead to gaining some useful knowledge. Some knowledge that we as Indians and most importantly Humans must be known. It will help us introspect ourselves how our ancestors were advanced in such a level that we modern humans of present can't match their level of thinking . We must learn from our ancestors to make our present better and appreciate our ancestors . Proud to be an Indian and very thankful to you Praveen sir that people like you exists.
Hi Praveen,
Tree roots will secrete some kind of acid which helps to soften the rocks and penetrate to get the nutrition. So that's why sometimes we find tree on a gigantic rocks. So ancient builders must have studied the chemical composition of these acids in the roots and did the reverse engineering. Hope this helps to connect some dots. Please let me know your thoughts.
Personally, I think that is an ingenious suggestion. Time will tell. But what you say does make sense
Going by what we see today, banyan tree and peepal tree roots/leaves might be having this nature of softening stones...
Wrong. It’s just due to water pressure. As roots gather water enormous pressure develops that cracks rocks. Initially small plants make small cracks eventually bigger plants make bigger cracks. This is the natural process. But no plants do not secret any acid to dissolve rocks.
Maybe there are mushrooms on the roots involved. Since when earth was born there were oceans and bacteria inside. On land mushrooms turned stone and lava into fertile soil over a long period of time. Then at litoral aeras DNA of bacteria got mixed with simple plants.
Never underestimate the power of mushroom.
After watching all your videos ,I think these knowledge and your discoveries must be preserved for our future generations. 🙏
Take several backups periodically.
Sometimes I wonder how would visiting temples today be if we do not view your videos. Thank you Sir for re bringing the eager to visit temples in many individuals. You are a true pride

Your content is beyond excellent. You should be working at a TV station or something. Just one of your 10 minute videos surpasses hours long television documentaries. I'm definitely a fan because your videos are so informative and I like all the footage that you show.
The Late Thomas Varghese, owner of Beena Arts, Port Blair, expert in carving wood n stone, he sculpted most of the temple idols of Andaman. I seen him work on the idol of Lord Ayyappa, 1983 when I served on the passenger ship SSCholunga. He told me that he makes a concoction to soften Granite stone. Since that day, this question baffled me. He did make a few walking sticks n carvings on Hard plastic fishnet floats, for me. 🙄👍

@@GroberWeisenstein Sounds pretty much like something Amber Heard's lawyer would say x'D
I feel it was a combination of many technologies , rock softening chemicals, a type of numerical controled machining , lathe , vibration and melting. That’s why there is evidence for all of them and hard to pin point one tech for all. Thank you Praveen Mohan , for being the cure
Yes. Multiple technologies
I've been an armchair researcher for over 20 years & remember finding a web page that had a collection of flood stories from all over the world - hundreds of flood stories. I remember a few accounts in different parts of the world that it said the flood waters (flood? rain? combo?) caused whole mountains to become soft (the wording made it clear that it wasn't just the dirt, but the stone too) while other stories mentioned that they learned from how the great flood made stone soft & figured out how nature did it & maintained that technology. Of course, almost all ancient technology was lost as more cataclysms hit the Earth.
I'm sure I saved this web page, so if I can find it I will post it. The indigenous flood stories are fascinating & I believe the symbolism therein holds many technological & spiritual secrets!
Please do. 🙏

Hi Praven, please do a video comparing the oldest temples with the new ones in India! That would be awesome!
You can check out the workmanship of sculptures on hindu temples in USA, Canada, or UK. Especially temples of BAPS...the swaminarayan sect. It is similar to the older temples.
👉The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 💖👌😉👍👏🙌
That would be like masterpieces with pieces of shit
That would be cool
Ha ... New temples of present day India made out of modern equipments can't even lick the foot-dust of the magnificency of the ancient ones... They're f**kingly grand and astonishing..
Been watching your channel for years, Praveen. Awesome stuff and keep it up. 😊
Like you, I have been wondering for years how they did it...in Cambodia, India, South America, Petra etc and have seen many theories.
The only one that made sense was that the Ancients were expert at doing one thing...
Making a very awesome concrete conglomerate out of powdered local rocks mixed with powdered limestone, ash and chalk and then pouring the mixture into wooden molds which were already in situ.
The concrete hardened very fast...in about 8 hours to become almost indstinguishable from the sourced rock.
The "melting effect" we are seeing happened very slowly over the past 200 years due to acid rain on the limestone..
This is the theory which resonates with me.
BINGO! Correct. My thoughts and conclusions entirely. That is the whole perfect explanation in a nutshell. 🙂. Agreed. Except that it doesn't take 8 hrs - like our concrete today. Theirs was much stronger and it hardened very quickly - in a matter of minutes or seconds even - after doing some dissolving of the softer, more porous tissues often - things like fingertips, toes, eyes, lips, genitals etc. But when it hardens, it happens in an INSTANT - I have concluded, from seeing so many examples. Everywhere, of mudfossils in nature and of supposed statues - which turn out to have real, once-living creatures inside them - with bones sticking out here and there - and various soft fleshy parts dissolved. I'm convinced it happens very quickly. And so many strange "Gods" in statues were actually once living Nephilim beings - who actually stood or sat for their statue and went willingly into it, just to be immortalised in stone and worshipped as a god. Strange but true - those crazy Nephilim!
@@r.j.1843 Yep and about half way through the curing process, those metal clamps were added to give the structures extra stability in earthquake zones..they certainly knew a lot and were very industrious people.
Those funny, mishapen stones occured when some of the mixture accidentally leaked outside the bottom of the mold.
Perfect examples to be found in Lima, Peru.
You can't make a mix of anything and have it be indistinguishable from its natural source. Possibly to the eye you could but a microscopic examination will easily tell if the material is natural or man made. You cant simulate the interior of the earth where rocks form just by mixing a few ingredients.
Wooden molds? Far fetched.
@@lc285 Think about it.
Remember the spark plug and hammer encased in "solid" rock? We have been experimenting getting that recipe right for millennia.
And where do you think all the trees on Easter Island went to? Before the locals had to burn all their molding for fuel when the last Maunder minimum set off the Younger-Dryas event..
Yep, I pay attention in class..
The explorer Percy Fawcett said that in South America the knowledge of making a stone-softening chemical derived from observations of a small bird that nested in sheer rock faces. The birds were taking leaves from a local plant and rubbing them over the rock to create a big enough hole to build a nest in. The ancient Egyptians may have had knowledge of a similar method, since they could cut intricate designs in granite even though they only had copper tools.
Most of our education is false.
Good information🙏
Ephedra andina (a gymnosperm) and/or Ageratina cuzcoensis (member of sunflower family) are the probable plants used by Inca artists, for stone-softening.
Yes. Exactly I read it from Maxwell Igan Earth's forbidden secrets.
@@anandg5843 If so why can’t they do it the same plants now ?
@@Royalbob123 Sir, the species mentioned above are the nearest possible plant species reported in contemporary journals; the Mesoamerican master craftsman, have sadly not recorded the secret combination for the generations to emulate✌, 🙏
I can't forget a incident that happened in front of me in my village uttar pradesh, India.
A old wizard (man) around 60+ broke the heavy stone without touching it with a wooden stick....i am still confused, how did that old man break the stone without touching it.....
Maybe a form of Che like the Chinese?
Me too. In Agra near Hanuman Mandir there is old man who after spry something on large stone and come back after 7 days, somehow broke a large stone with his stick. Many people say it is magic, other people say it is good trick.
I believe second group. There is no such spry or herb who soften a stone. Its trick or in this cast some advance metal trick .
The knobs I always thought were risers...
When I used to pour metal in molds, we had breathers like that so we got a perfect pour.
It was either poured into molds, or CNC machinery!
Mountain knot grass - this plant name in Telugu language is Konda Pindi Aaku.. means stone grinding..people use its juice to treat kidney stones..
👉The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 💖👌😉👍👏🙌
Kidney stones are not the same as granite rock. Like just because the name in English is similar, please don't confuse it.
Litho, stone formation in kidneys is sedimentary. Did you know the center portion of the banana tree trunk, is cooked n eaten in South India. The juice it contains has the power to dissolve kidney stones. My navy dad suffered with severe stones, excruciating pain, bleeding. 1st time 1967 he was catheterized but within a year the pain was back. The exArmy Capt doctor advised my dad to start adding the banana pith, made like a salad with curd, called raita, in India. 3 weeks later, xray showed nil stones n the pain never recurred till his sailing away in Dec2010. The depressions formed by calculus, remain, giving foothold to newer formation. This stem juice smoothed the depressions away. If any need I can write the exact way this salad has to be prepared

The nubs/knobs are part of the softening process/technology. The fact that the nubs are all over the world on many advanced ancient megalithic structures proves the process/technology was used all over the world. Thank you as always Praveen.
Yes it is fascinating. I've noticed it seems all the knobs are always on the bottom of the Stone
Part of the process? They are there to allow binding with ropes to place them between stones and then removed.
No you were wrong... Herbal metallurgy was only available in south Asian sub continent .....
Unlike metals, rocks were melted through herbs alchemical reaction.
there are more melted rocks seen in several temples of India but no elsewhere around world esp on west ...Rocks can be melted like metals with alchemical knowledge
To my understanding- gained from reading RA material : law of one
(a channeld masterpiece of detailed technical & soul evolution information regarding earth’s & humanity’s history).
The ancient beings possessed a higher state of consciousness and could by focus - connect to the rock on molecular level.
And then imagine the new shapes & levitate the material in place. Often as group effort.
Hence perfect symmetries, and impossible seeming cuts.
My guess is that those nubs (found allover the world in megalithic buildings)
are the points where the meditators(builders) held their hands when communicating with the material. Maybe herbs helped mind & the meditation process? 🧘♀️ 🧘
Glass blowing leaves a similar ”nub” to its connecting point to the blower shaping it.

Let me start to say that I love your video's, you and your knowledge are amazing!
This theory about stone softening is also common in Peru, where we ofcourse also find amazing ancient buildings that look to be done by unknown technology. One of the first explorers of machu pichu and other sites in Peru found out that there is a bird that uses a plant to mix with his saliva that softens stone to make nest holes in rock faces. A TH-camr named Charles Kos made a very interesting video about it. He claims he can find proof that also the Egyptians might have used this method.
Please keep on making video's for ever!!

Another idea I had when seeing the carvings here, is what exactly was the artist showing us? The swirls on the chest, appear to be toroidal polarity. But I wonder what the big picture is here, so to speak. 🤔
Its so weird that there are these ancient technological mysteries all over the world and often the same and yet these ancient people never left behind a clue about how they did it...as if they all agreed to not mention it anywhere.
My dad once told me people used to mix some herbs and chemicals to make rocks turn into clay to shape it and it was forgotten.
A stone is a crystalline structure so if you can soften these crystals you can shape it however you wish.
Plants Need to contain, alkaloids and chemical constituents that are amalgamated to form an acid base. If this theory is accurate
Yes - maybe the herbs were a part of the process too. This was used in South America too. Sacsayhuamen etc. Plus see my comment above, to Praveen. This mystery can be explained - but not by conventional knowledge. The key secret is that they knew not just how to soften natural stone - but how to create it out of special concrete - and how to actually petrify anything, including living beings - in order to turn them into idols and temples. Then add more layers and work the surfaces so that they look more manmade. 👍
@@r.j.1843 these are man-made, by ancient Hindus themselves.
Infinite - Yes - and above I just outlined the secret techniques by which they did it. They are not carved Sculptures into hard granite at all. Nor even just softened with herbs, though they maybe used that to rework the outer surfaces. But in the first place - these are actually once-living creatures - who actually volunteered to be turned into stone, to become idols for people to marvel at and worship them. This is the truth - and you can see it for yourself if you look closely - and research mudfossils and petrification. Whoever wishes to truly understand...
@@r.j.1843 Hmmm...you got me thinking....
I've seen an exhibition in the science center where human bodies -once alive- were plasticized and displayed as art.
So you could be right!
Again again again....Praveen superb explanation.

Kudos to you too for your efforts to bring it to us.
Thank You Swetha ji!! Keep watching the videos and share it with your friends too!!
In South America there is also myths about herbs that can soften stone. According to natives, birds were seen making nest in granite faces by applying some plant, then hollowing out nests. Ancient people saw this and built caves this way.
This must explain the scoop marks. How else would you carve out a cave? You scoop it out.
TY PRAVEEN FOR ONCE AGAIN POINTING OUT THE OBVIOUS FOR US .
Another banger video by Mr. Mohan.
Thank you Alif! Share the video with others too!!
Valeu!
Hey Proveen, great video as always. Several years ago, I ran across an article and a video on YT that showed that a Peruvian bird would burrow holes in granite rocks to make a nest. He would fly down to get these red leaves (I can't remember the plant) and rub this red leaf on the granite cliff, then drop the leaf and begin pecking away at it with his beak. The plant would soften the stone to a point where he could dig a few centimeters a day after repeating the process over and over. Peru has a temple structure (can't remember the name of it) where the stones are "fitted" perfectly together. The legends from that area state that the ancients knew the recipe for stone softening and used this plant. I can't find the video or the article to send to you, but maybe this helps.
Right, Erich von Daniken mentioned this, I think. Try "green chisel" or "caochyll" maybe, I just looked for "herbs that soften stone" and those came up.
I love this videos. Very impressinf the ancient culture of this part of globe. Confratulations!!!
Good point. This is actually the second time I've heard this theory about softening stone. There might be something to it. Oh, and just because we haven't heard about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm starting to think that there are groups of people that know all of this shit. They just keep it hidden.
Quite correct and true, me too.👍
Vatican Library is one place to look.
Look at photos of, among others, the (andesite) megalithic stone walls of Sacsayhuaman , Peru, it looks like the surface of the stone was troweled like concrete, also, the under side of the unfinished gigantic (granite) obelisk in Aswan, Egypt, it looks like the granite was scooped away like ice-cream.

Praveen i thank you very much for your great work and Videos. Your work is incredible and you have a good neutral look at all this things. Thank you for finding and showing all of us this locations and explaining. For me you are one of the most interesting youtube channels in the hole world. I hope you go on like this. I bless you my friend. I wish you much health. Thank you for your work. Greetings from Germany.
Preveen- absolutely love your work! I wonder if there was a combination of processes - maybe with the sun stronger in ancient times they could use something to “melt the stone” add the herbs to break down further then something. With vibration could then do the carvings ?? When we speak to people who work with granite I would be interesting in learning the ways modern man would believe the element could be softened - even studying the chemical breakdown of granite in a molecular level - how does one melt quartz? These statues are so awe inspiring and so is your work !!!
Hattsoff because you have made your researches and marvellous findings freely available for all....people sell smallest of things ..a simple wildlife picture clicked by photographers are sold for hefty amounts....and your works,which are par excellence are just in social interest.....great job man... blessings and wishes for you...keep going 👍
Another possibility is that the material was already slightly soft when they began to carve it...then, with exposure and time hardened. Some of the sediments deposited after the great flood may have taken much longer to become solid rock...and the people afterwards used this material to create intricate designs. But, I'm probably way off. I appreciate your channel very much, thank you.
What is granite?
@@sultros I think petrified trees in some instances....huge preflood trees....but, just guessing. Hangman1128 has some interesting research.
@@bluevireo425 I’m sad to say that unfortunately you are way off and I mean no disrespect in saying that. It all has to do with granite and the formation of it and other metamorphic stone. While sediments can become stone, they can’t become granite due to the properties of the minerals in granite, specifically quartz and how it’s formed. It’s worth learning about and I highly encourage you to ask questions and seek answers. The same applies to fossils, specifically, how they are identified. If you don’t know the process you won’t know what evidence to look for or how to evaluate what’s presented by others. One of my hobbies is fossil hunting and preparation and it’s a stupidly complex thing to do as a hobby that requires multiple scientific disciplines and niche skill sets like lapidary and masonry.
A big reason why neither the experts nor the skeptics manage to figure things out is because they lack the complete skill set and knowledge to put it together. Whether the pyramids of ancient Egypt or the rockets that took mankind to the moon, it wasn’t one person or country or industry that just up and built these. It took many people across many cultures and fields of industry and knowledge, trading and developing skills and technology over time. It appears like a singular event or a singular nation or culture did it, but only because they are the ones who needed a thing built and a reason to put these things together to achieve a goal. When that culture or nation falls, the technology isn’t really lost. The Individual pieces often continues as it was, practiced by skilled tradesmen or industries, elsewhere in the world.
You’ll find no better example than Sri Lanka where skilled craftsman still cut and polish sapphires and ruby’s using using simple hand powered lathes made of wood featuring lead grinding / cutting wheels. They use an abrasive powder made of corundum. Some even use one made of a combination of plant fibers. In one region, In the hills, scientists discovered the locals making high quality carbon steel with nothing more than clay boxes built to channel wind, places into the side of a hill, powered by annual monsoon winds. It took the modern blast furnace to match their simple yet clever technique.
It cracks me up that people think some one trick pony of an idea did the thing. Sound levitation or stone softening chemical or sun mirror. I think Praveen is close but it’s a simplistic view. There is an ancient mixture that made stone soft, but not in the way he’s thinking. It was an abrasive powder
@@sultros Great Comment! What I was trying to say was that possibly some of these temples are Flood Remnants...and just as wood pretrifies into various gem stones...possibly some of these Temple carvings are older than we think and are carved from wood that was submerged and dried etc... Just a thought. I agree with much of what you said, especially compartmentalization and how it really is a double edged sword..advancing technology but dumbing down understanding. I am not a believer in the Moon landings or any of that, honestly have become someone who has learned to observe closely..and believe we live in an enclosed Plain. As far as the fossils...awesome...have fond memories of childhood hunts of fossils in the fields behind my home...Even found Trilobites...was very fun. Later I thought...Why so many DEAD animals at once...It most definitely in my opinion was NOT the Cambrian Explosion...it was the remnants of dead animals from the Great Flood. Of course we know even today just by observation that dead things get consumed by the living...and things do not die en mass without a disaster. Good fossil hunting to you and it is very true what you said about the carving and use of tools...most things we see today are made with tools that were once hand tools...and slower methods...but same result. hangman1128 has some real interesting videos showing veins of Quartz in ancient Giant Trees...very worth looking at, if you dare to have your mind expanded.
Thank you Praveen! You are a treasure to humanity!

Not sure if I ever commented on your channel, but, just wanted to offer a note of appreciation for your interesting, educational and enlightening videos. Great work! Thanks!
Thanks
The shallow cuts remind me of fingerprints, possibly a maker's mark? Another great video 🙏❤
Hi praveen....I believe in the ancients using some sort of lost technique to soften stone....places like sacshuyaman in peru etc are good examples....im wondering if sound vibration frequencies would soften the rock or shatter it...be good to here you thoughts on this 🖖
Plus see my comments above, if it may interest you. 👍

Well said matt👍🙏

As usual Brilliant.Some one articulate like you alone can bring out the secrets of the bygone era.Makes us proud to think that our forefathers could bring about such brilliant technologies,and that we are their prosterity.
In Peru, there is a bird called the jakkacllopito that takes a red leaf from the kechuca plant and rubs it against a granite edifice with its beak thereby creating a tiny hole big enough for it to nest in.
There are other plants that have similar properties all over the world. If a plant is capable of rooting itself into rock, then its roots secrete and enzyme which is capable of softening rock. Plant roots are much softer than stone, so it would be impossible for them to penetrate rock if it didn’t secrete this enzyme.
If the ancients noticed this phenomenon happening in nature, then they surely would have experimented with extracting this enzyme to help themselves with their own constructions and artifacts.
Thanks! I was looking for the bird and plant names.
St Johns Wort.
If the plant is known to be the kechuca plant, then it seems like it would be easy for someone to test this today.
@@Randomstuff33688 use e-mail
@@Randomstuff33688 I’m not familiar with the plant but if it’s in Peru then maybe Brien Foerster of hidden Inca tours. He is in Peru.
thank you praveen moham liked and shared ofcourse. hope you are well sir
State of Matter can be convert in any desireble form on molecular level eg. In stone crasher some parts of stone dissolve in air in form of dust it might be possible accinent people had mastered object's forms on molecular level thankyou Praveen sir for sharing this
Thankyou🙏 Hara Hara Mahadev 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
May be softening is possible with some chemicals or herbs on the surface layer of granite..
Very interesting indeed

nonsense.
@@Batega_toh_Katega_Hindu_108 is not opinion from my perspective I am master stone tradesman and utilize this technique. This is the difference between me and others who only speculate . Is not a logic argument from me but a trade practice reveal.
@@Batega_toh_Katega_Hindu_108 technically it means significant knowledge and skill in 4 or more of the trades within the stone industry at a practising professional level. Of course one can not be at a master level across the entire stone industry since there are too many trade divisions. Each trade division requiring approximately a decade of experience to achieve competency. For the purposes of this discussion I would qualify as an authority since the various stone trades i am directly involved with are included in this type of stone work being scrutinized. It is not about knowing everything but rather knowing the specific things relating to the questions at hand.
so if softening chemistry exists why is it now used in the stone industry today? we have the ability at the atomic level to observe and analyze geochemistry and create a solution. unlike trial and error used by past generations. it is simply because chemical softening stone for workability is just a myth, folklore.
I greatly admire your love of ancient history and knowledge, and your drive to share it. I just came across the practically unrefutably, "softened rock" theory about a year ago. Why, owe why are there no scientists or geologists students or professors out there dedicating themselves to rediscovering this ancient lost technique/art. I am well aware that money is the driving force for so many things in modern life. Surely, once the "recipe" is rediscovered, it could be monetized in some way to justify the extensive research. The rediscover would more importantly open our modern minds so much, when considering our collective past as humans.
Jai Shree Ram 🚩 🙏
Brilliant.
Well done
Great observations.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
👍🏽😘
Please do some experiments with different herbs to soften granite. It’s a very interesting theory
Great observation 🙏
Glad you like the video Adarsh!!
I can think of three other possible ways
1..precise concentrated light beam,/Lazer
concentrated using, certain materials
2.pressurized water stream
3.pressurized air stream
Also looking at the depth of curves I think it could be carved using sharp tool by brute force, repeatedly scratching, also
Pressurized water jet, water is in fact not harder than granite.
yes. your doubt and expectation correct. ancient builders used herbs no doubt in it. my grand father told exactly same as you.

All matters have frequency's. Could a tune of frequency been used to soften the stone well carving? 🕉🙏🕉
Next level thoughts
Thanks again Praveen astounding as usual. I’m going with the CNC theory.🇬🇧
