    What you said about fitting the stones has always intrigued me, I was a builder for 55 years and I've wondered how exactly they fitted the stones together without having to move them up and down and up and down again. Because I don't think they could have possibly fitted the stones together perfectly the first time. Maybe they had a solution for this. But it's definitely a head scratcher for sure. Great video as always!

      @@wout123100 At the end of what they now refer to as "The Younger Dryas" there is world wide evidence of a global cataclysm, there is some debate as to it’s actual cause, some say possibly massive meteors impacting the earth others have different views as to its cause, but that something of a global nature did occur at that time, they are virtually all now in agreement, as the evidence is just to overwhelming!
      May I respectfully suggest that you first do at least a little personal research on the subject, rather than just relying on popular opinion, you may find the results of your investigations very interesting.

      ​I doubt there was ever a "world wide flood", but there is archeological evidence for catastrophic flooding ​ in the pre historic Mediterranean and middle east, reflected not only in the Biblical account, but in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Flood by Aristophanes. Few stories do not have some basis in fact. @@wout123100

    Once again much older than the mainstream wants to admit. "Oh, the Romans did it". "Oh, the Inca did it". Maybe someday we can recover our history. Thank you for the walk thru. Every day I come across more sites with megalithic construction that just doesn't fit the conventional narrative and surprisingly similar to sites on the other side of the world.

      Dude you need to look up the Romans largest construction projects they built which we know they built do to historical records recording there entire construction. They are vastly more impressive than anything in this video. There's nothing inherently "impossible" about polygonal masonry.

    Seems to me that someone knew quite a lot about load-bearing stresses, and my guess about the multi-faceted stones and polygonal masonry in general is , besides the beauty of it....they seem to hold up for centuries and millenia without mortar , seem to be seismic-proof, just awesome! thank you, New sub❤

    There was this discussion at Joe Rogan with Graham Hancock and Flint Dibble, who apparently came very well prepared and forced Graham to say that indeed we have no hard evidence for the existence of the ancient pre-Younger Dryas civilization.
    True. But I believe we are staring at it just like here, or the Sardinian nuraghi, and just because we cannot date the stones, we cannot claim it existed. But it seems so very obvious...
    What is strange is that Göbekli Tepe was dated by some organic material from between the stone cracks, so it is possible this way, but nobody ever tried to do a comprehensive review of these polygonal masonry walls for the organic material underneath...

    Polygonol and cyclopean walls were built to be earthquake proof. As Velikovsky explained, earthquakes were far more frequent and violent all over the world in the early years of the first millennium BC. This is because our planet had recently experienced a comet-induced cosmic catastrophe and it took centuries for the earth's tectonic plates to settle again. Velikovsky's ideas explained so much about ancient history, but he demonised and suppressed. Read his 1956 book "Earth in Upheaval".

    The design is clearly used for anti earthquakes. The idea behind it is very very clever. Its not randomly put together at all. You would put a turret on the outside of the wall for clear line of sight to shoot arrows at enemies that are near the wall trying to get over.

      Well, Norba is one of my favourites, but it's south, so in another direction. Cosa might be an option, a little bit more than 1 hour north of Rome, and on a fast highway. Else, there are many in the area of Alatri, like Ferentino (10 min. from Alatri), Cassino, Arpino, and many more, all within a 30 min ride from Alatri

    There are many forms of polygonal masonry. Some are easy to understand, but some are completely beyond understanding. Without separating out the inexplicable ones from the understood ones this is not helpful, and only makes the confusion worse.

    These sites are the petrified cellular remains of enormous prehistoric plants. Grown not built.
    Found occupied and exploited by humans but grown from the same natural processes needed to grow a planet.
    Compare: polygonal blocks to the cellular structure of the living Methuselah tree.
    ( Curse of the Methuselah Tree 12:20 ).
