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

@Mikey Smith Let's say I have successfully proved the efficiency of the methods, where will I put the results of my work, throw them in the garbage? If there will be a customer and a decent place for the polygonal wall erected, then it's another matter. In this case, I am ready to personally process the stones with my own hands according to the description given in the article.
@@SueDonum123 I will practically prove the fabrication methods of the Peruvian polygonal masonry suggested in the article when I get a request and corresponding fund support from an interested customer. Today, I have no such request.

Its too bad photography hadn't evolved earlier. Imagine what we could learn if early discoveries like this could have been photographed BEFORE so much tourist traffic, like about 500 hundred years ago. Still, amazing what can still be learned from simple observation. Thanks Brien, hope to join you on one of your trips soon!
Brien, I cannot thank you enough for providing all of us with the amazing video footage/content on your channel! I'll probably never have the opportunity to go visit these places so watching and listening to you narrate is the next best thing to being there
Those enormous pink granite stones were quarried from the opposite side of the mountain to make things even more mysterious! Thank you Brian ...wish I could go on one of your tours🤙🏽🤙🏽
This place always amazes me. The Inca did incredible stone work. It just suffers from having to be compared to the megalithic work. This place was built to feed people. I think it would be grand if did so again.
I love videos like this. I try to imagine what it was like to have lived there; to have walked those paths and up n down those steps with that amazing water flowing. (starting @1:47)
I wonder if the stones were cut from a larger stone, and then placed back together for the perfect fit. But then you'd still need to fit the outer stones somehow with other stones. It's a mystery and amazing construction
@@celloquadrelli7155 Yes for long walls, such as in Cusco area, they could have had a long quarry and dug down and cut them out consecutively. As they cut them out they transported them and arranged them in the same pattern. Might have been using some kind of string saw, or resonance for the cuts. Wouldn't explain the appearance of these rocks, many of them look softened, hense the mystery
Also, if they used this way of fitting the stones, the quarry would have been in the same shape and dimensions as the final building or wall, so they could have the well fitting corner pieces
Of course if there is a stone that seems out of place, which I believe there are, ie is a different texture or color than the ones next to it, then it was fitted from a different location than the others using perfect skill
thank you so so much to show us such an incredible area !!! I 'm astonished watching the high advanced technology, the megalithics walls, the grandiose mountains... the true story of mankind is beginning to be revealed to the world thanks to people like you!
Fascinating well filmed presentation, It's like night and day differing time construction periods, Ancient megalithic builders were not inhibited by high altitude weight or gravity, and possibly for these very reasons they came under attack from Superior Creator, The Inca had to survive times of immense periods of rain fall and drought so they became experts at water control, As water is at same time life giving and life taking destructive. Enjoyed this presentation. Thank you for sharing peace
I don't believe it was the Inca who built the megalithic structures for exact reasons you listed that they had too overcome. I mean look at the difficulties that Brien pointed out on the Inca trail...
@@danielcruz8347 true. But the Hydrodynamic Systems most likely installed at the same time as the Megalithic Structures. In Ukraine after the fighting and destruction is over they will rebuild. After War they will rebuild quickly usually using modern techniques planning for the future, but they will salvage what infrastructure they can just to get going. This is why we build upon existing Cities. What we see in Peru is opposite of what we expect to see. Instead of modernization we see a decline. This is what Brien and others have been pointing out and mainstream has been silent about. War is a minimal scale, what we are looking at seems to be on a Global Scale this is the puzzle...
all healthy streams have freezing cold water 38 degrees Fahrenheit, the anomaly temp for water when it is most dense and flowing with natural vortices in the stream. Viktor Schauberger explains all of this in great detail!
Great work as usual, I truly hope that 1 day the mystery will solve and find out what they looked like and how they managed to work the stone into what we see today...thank you
Thank you Brien for your videos. What you show is so interesting and exciting, I can't see enough of it. At 15:00 you can see small knobs on the stone blocks. These are everywhere in the world. Also in Egypt. I've been wondering for years what the point of these knobs is and why they are everywhere. Maybe we will find the solution someday. I hope you show many more of these interesting videos. Maybe someday I can travel there myself. Thanks again. Best greetings from Germany.
Particularly interesting to see are those door way carvings that resemble door ways but are just cement walls inside of the door frames we see that in many or even most of those ancient megalithic structures which predate the known civilizations such as Inca and Maya.
The thing I find most amazing is that the scientific mainstream will give Egypt thousands of years to create the monuments there, but the Inca and other American civilizations did all of their vast works in just a few hundred years.
Even if past people were able to soften stone, then why and how are these stones so perfectly cut on angles, and different stones would bond to each other as the rock itself does? the knobs still perplex me, because I still can't figure out any meaning or purpose for them. If they were used for placement, then why not seen on all stones? I see no smbolic reason for them. Maybe they made them to drive people crazy trying to figure it out.
I love the pre-Inca cultures and the Inca Empire also for their great contribution to humanity with food. With their great organizational capacity and their advanced and sophisticated agricultural techniques, they domesticated many of the foods and superfoods that we currently consume.
.... I hate to piss on everyone's picnic here, but I actually work at a granite quarry in the United States and even in 2024. Guess what do you know how we cut blocks of granite?..... With a string and sand.... Yes, I'm simplifying it a little bit but essentially it's a string and sand that gets dragged over the block for hours and hours and hours and hours hours.... did you guys never watch Shawshank redemption? Did you learn from geology in school that with enough time and pressure you can essentially accomplish anything is that not the indomitability of the human spirit you guys look down on our ancestors with such derision when you should be elevating them, and proud of the things that they were able to accomplish with sheer force of determination and time and effort.
Have there been any scientific studies into the theory of the ancient cataclysm in Peru (or anywhere else)? Have any core samples been taken / studied from the ground? Love the videos by the way, it's like I'm actually there!
The global catastrophe science calls the Younger Dryas cooling event about 12900 years ago caused by global fires due to impact from cometary debris. The evidence for this is now very strong. It resulted in the YD climate episode, extinction of Pleistocene megafauna, demise of the Clovis archeological culture, and a range of other effects.
I never tire seeing these megalithic walls & peruvian walls made from millions of stones to make their terrises [sp]. The megalithic walls look humanly impossible to build.
Isn't it more logical that the giant blocks were made of geo-polymers and that is why they don't decompose like normal stones? It also makes a lot more sense than claiming that they were quarried on that distant mountain and magically transported to where they lay now, which would be an impossible task to move through this extremely rugged terrain!
Sites like this really makes me wish we were able to at least LOOK backwards in time and be able to SEE what the place REALLY looked like in its prime, long before the Inca ever arrived there.
I winder how the retaining walls haven't blown out. They're perfect. We need geotextile fabric laid out onder the soil at different levels, I'm assuming they did something similar?
The peeling is called exfoliation. Granite exfoliates at angles perpendicular to the compressional forces it experienced during formation. Not saying that the case here, but should at least be considered.
Megalithic blocks appear to be quarried and shaped using a hotwire technology. Like cutting styrofoam... Moved and placed with acoustic levitation. Nubs are for exterior bracing during final finish work before placement. 👣🕊👽
Brien,, Hello. Unlikely you will ever read this... I always notice the stubs or knobs on the Large stones even on Stones in the megalithic wall... Perhaps the protruding knobs were there to Fit Ropes around etc.. Making a grip of some sort possible for lifting... But they leave some stubs sticking out,,, and you can notice these stubs in other blocks around the world... Used for rope or Wood bracing??? (Anyone)
So many aspects to think about it's mind blowing, but I bet your book are interesting to read. What exactly was the recipe used to create such a wonder and when was that recipe used...
Mind blowing to think the Quarry is across the valley, how on earth did the builders achieve such building techniques? The megaliths have curious patterns on the surface, as if the rock was soft at the construction phase.
It really does make you wonder, it's easy to look to ets but the megalithic builders around the world could be a previous high technology group of humans who did go through an upheaval so big it sent them into the stone age.
Spanish were extremely destructive throughout the America's, aside from completely destroying to the best of their ability what they deemed as demonic or pagan as well as their insatible search for hidden treasures,, they also broke down structures for the smaller more manageable megalithic stones which they used for foundations of their own churches & buildings and/or built their constructs on top of the existing mega constructs. Aside from all the methodic conjecture i find it simply wonderous to have such magnificent things in life that connect us with the distant past. Life's real mysteries with questions that will never be answered by the modern mind. this is what makes such creation eternally fascinating.
In one of Brien's other videos he says that the megalithic site of Sacsayhuaman was completely shunned by the Spanish because they believed the entire area to be associated with pagan activity and therefore demonic. So although they were certainly destructive their superstitious beliefs did keep them from destroying everything.
If you look at 1:54 you will see massive stone walls with nubs on them. I remember watching a video on Machu Picchu, a massive ancient structure in South America. The video stated they didn’t know what those nubs on the massive stones were used for. I didn’t know that there were ancient structures in Egypt with those same nubs on them. How did 2 ancient civilizations, on 2 different continents use the same building skills and the same nubs on their massive stones, and yet… no one know how those stones were moved or what the nubs were for???
That shot @4:02 was stunning and honestly one of the most curious things I've ever seen. The veins of the tan stone twist up in the rock face on the right. Is that piece in the middle leaning over or flush? It seems to meet right where the twisting cracks start. Did someone cut it to fall across the space to make a bridge or is it useful in someway if its flush? The angle its at would redirect rainfall from that nicely angled bowl above it. If the lowest level of that structure is sloped backwards it would make for a good catchment for rain.
"It looks almost like it's been trawled," you say. But. I think it may be molded. And those are intentions from the boards in the framing enclosing the poured concrete. But, it could also be trawled marks on a stucco over the rock. But it's definitely not carved with a chisel and hammer.
You need to scan the face of those rocks. I've seen a lot of programs where thy scan rock faces to see if there is any type of inscription or pattern. I wish I knew more about that technology to give you more information on it.
Fantastic work Brien! Question for you…. With so much level ground in the valley for agriculture why take on the monumental task of building the terraces?
Ok who put that key shape in that stone? Without seeing others, it looks like the original stone construction had an even older culture restoring that site then another cataclysm came along.
I don't know the exact minute into the video that you brought up the troweled surfaces but I have seen pictures and watched your videos it's exactly what was done it's literally written into the stone!
Brien, I just found a video about San Miguel Ixtapan south in the estado de México in Mexico you should visit because it is exactly like Puma punku in south América. All the andesita megalitic stones are being excavated under the ground...
I visited Peru on a small group tour a few decades ago. We saw several ancient sites, but not this one. Thank you for this review of the site. It is wonderful and amazing. Would love to go there but at 80 I am not sure I will make it, at least not with this body the way aging is working away at it. I love the water works made by the Inca. A question occurred to me. I live in a community on a hill/lmountain side. We have a number of issues with erosion to deal with. How did the Inca deal with erosion on the steep mountain sides? Was terracing a major way?
Zakładamy zazwyczaj że musieli transportowac gigantyczne bloki ale pozostaje pytanie widzimy efekt a czy te kamienie nie były na miejscu i pozostało tylko obrobić i ustawić a pozostałości usunąć przecież nikt nie będzie nadawać sobie pracy jeżeli może wykorzystać to co stworzyła natura to tylko hipoteza ale też jedno z możliwych rozwiązań
it must have taken a lot of people and a lot of time to cut, transport, and assemble these stones. so many pieces of the puzzle are missing. we may never know the answers. we don't even know how it was done, let alone why?
@4:00 "the much older megalithic work", looks like the impression of structures long gone, most likely made of metal, that rusted and blew way long long ago. It appears that the original structures were fully buried in some kind of cataclysm and were later exposed due to erosion. This kind of so-called rock cut work is seen all over our planet and would naturally be the result of a global flood that buried them and then they resurfaced later from other upheavals and destructions! Once they were exposed to the elements for extremely long periods of time, the original structures disappeared altogether and what we see is the impression that was left after the metal oxidizing the structures and breaking them down!
I have a question how the freaking crap did these people bring these heavy stones blocks up there like that and cut like this and shape I have no idea what type of tools or type of carrying device to put these up there that's insane!!!!

Those perfect, square cuts into the stone cliff faces. Like they were carving a block of cheese.
What a wonder this place has to show and what mysteries you are yet to uncover
Damn this is amazing it's sad we don't ever here about this in the mainstream TV in America.

I live in a community on a hill/lmountain side. We have a number of issues with erosion to deal with. How did the Inca deal with erosion on the steep mountain sides? Was terracing a major way?
The texture of the wall looks like it had something attached to it, another building maybe.?
Zakładamy zazwyczaj że musieli transportowac gigantyczne bloki ale pozostaje pytanie widzimy efekt a czy te kamienie nie były na miejscu i pozostało tylko obrobić i ustawić a pozostałości usunąć przecież nikt nie będzie nadawać sobie pracy jeżeli może wykorzystać to co stworzyła natura to tylko hipoteza ale też jedno z możliwych rozwiązań
there is a sandstone that can bend, called itacolumite, they probably knew how to perfect it to mold the stones
it must have taken a lot of people and a lot of time to cut, transport, and assemble these stones.
so many pieces of the puzzle are missing. we may never know the answers.
we don't even know how it was done, let alone why?
I wonder what your opinion is of the Sage Wall in Montana, do you think its magalithic or simply a natural occurance.
The knobs May have been for climbing?
@4:00 "the much older megalithic work", looks like the impression of structures long gone, most likely made of metal, that rusted and blew way long long ago. It appears that the original structures were fully buried in some kind of cataclysm and were later exposed due to erosion.
This kind of so-called rock cut work is seen all over our planet and would naturally be the result of a global flood that buried them and then they resurfaced later from other upheavals and destructions!
Once they were exposed to the elements for extremely long periods of time, the original structures disappeared altogether and what we see is the impression that was left after the metal oxidizing the structures and breaking them down!
look at how much the cut has aged, we are talking about granite here
I have a question how the freaking crap did these people bring these heavy stones blocks up there like that and cut like this and shape I have no idea what type of tools or type of carrying device to put these up there that's insane!!!!
