Interesting theory, however, this doesn’t answer the fundamental question of how they moved such gigantic rocks to create these amazing monolithic structures in the first place.
I had a similar question about how the Inca were able to smooth the stone that large. One could chisel to shape easily enough, but would require a massive rock tumbler like device to remove the jagged edges. Throw the cut stones in the river perhaps, but then how to retrieve said stones?
Also I been thinking about they were made and how they were scooped out from the sacsayhuaman upside stairs and then made by being scooped then placed in blobs, harden and continue with the next layer until you have a wall. Then after that you have some rocks in the ground as your base and they are soft and is ready for a wall which is placed upside with the flat first layer you started with being the top. Also the walls remind me of epithelial cells which I find fun. Just another fun theory.
They found one bottle one time in an ancient tomb. There was some rough men there they tried to get the native Porter to drink it.

Nope. The back of all the huge blocks at Sacsayhuaman are rough and uncut, not smooth, as they would have been if moulded in bags of concrete. Your theory simply does not match the evidence. Think again.
A scientific team from Europe years ago had already understood about those perfect fot stones. And these kind of walls can be found EVERYWHERE on this planet !!!

they had no molds, they pressed them together in a soft state, which deforms both touching faces until they fit perfectly, and the same happens with the ones below because of weight. with soft squishable stone, its easy to achieve this fit without trying, as the pressure alone squishes them to fit perfectly.
@@ericl7238 I never said they used their bare hand. Im thinking about electrical devices and wire saws combined with softening. if you had an easy way to move and soften them, then polygonal megaliths would be the construction method with the least amount of effort needed, and it would be the most durable. it would also be reusable and reshapable. I think them using such huge stones means they could move them with such ease that it became efficient to use them over smaller stones.
What did they do when this liquid touched the Incas ' skin ,hands legs ,bodies etc ? I ' d imagine a stone softening potion would be pretty potent and toxic to the human body if touched . I mean it would not have the same strength as spring water ,that's for sure , more like an acid type consistency about it , Huh ! I'm just saying ...
In Central America there is a tree when you cut it, it has sticky latex that burns, and then there is also a plant that is an antidote that stops the burning, so I'm sure they found a solution.
This isn’t lost technology; one can “soften” stones with a rock tumbler and a stone chisel. Cut your desired shape then tumble until smooth. The real question is what mechanism that the Inca had access to would be large enough to tumble these stones? It wold have to be the size of a car to fit rocks that large.
That bird knows some things that humans don't know he puts a leave on there and creates a cup to catch the river water so he'll have drinking water that is pretty smart it's smarter than some people
the stone features is proof. you have to be delusional to not see that those rocks used to be soft. In egypt there is even polished drops and polished drip marks on some artifacts, and you can see that the polish has a depth to it, like something chemically altered the rock. there are stones fused into others, features that look like concrete despite being bedrock, obviously bent rocks that used to be rectangularly cut, etc. not to mention that all other techniques are out of question and this one also removes most of the completely nonsensical amount of labor. polygonal megaliths would be the easiest, most stable and fastest to build if you could soften them and move them easily, because you have to cut as little as possible and the stones do not need any precise shaping, cause the pressure does that for them.
According to explorer Col. P.H.Fawcett the leaf is a dark reddish leaf from a plant that grows about a foot high, in Chuncho country on the Pyrene River. in his book he states that birds would rub this leaf against stone and over time it would soften the stone allowing them to "carve out" areas int he stone for nests....(page 76 in his book "Exploration"). I would suggest that any plant the did or does exist that had been discovered (or re-discovered) would be completely off limits to the average person now, perhaps even the average explorer, unless they were government commissioned..and if they were govt commissioned, does anyone really think info learned would be shared with the public, ie any civilian...
quarried stone does not share the same microscopic qualities as the stones used in the structures. The structured stone contain an organic compound not found in the stone of the quarry. This suggests quarried stone was ground into a powder and MIXED with something organic, a plant mash.
Any plant that did this would actually have huge commercial value. Stone cutting is done world wide, and a plant that made stone cutting faster cheaper better would be valuable. Governments cannot control every plant and access to every plant. Thanks for the reference and description.
It doesn't explain how these megalith stones were quarried and moved into place. Plus the INCAS obviously didn't use the plants to soften the stones they used to repair these megalithic monuments.
Sorry but you hypothesis is wrong. In 1920 an unknow architect wrote a paper on what he found, what look like small broken mill stones, laying next to piles of round diorite stones. When the site was later clean up these small broken mill stones were taken and thrown away living only the diorite stones left . The architect hypothesis was that these small broken mill stones were realy, round counter weights, and that the diorite stones were realy being use as drill bits, to cut the basult blocks. the diorite stones. were some how place on a small wooden pole and rotated the hard diorite stone wouild cut the block very easyly the nobs on the block were us as a gide to garge the depth of the cuts. This young unknow architect surmise that this is how they cut the stones so easly.
Could be large lumps of mineralised meat ? i experimented with a packet of defrosted frozen beef cubes and sprinkled a some cornflour over cubes and pressed the cubes into the shape of a impressive small wall .Then made a nice vindaloo curry with home made chapatis' , Do not forget about the giant men in Genesis ?
If such a plant did excist, it would have been on abudance there. It Still does not explain the precision or the fact that some stone weigh so much and are stacked so high on top of a mountain. It would have been quarried out of the mountain itself and in those Times i think people were much more Busy with getting enough food Every day, it would require so much man power like eqypt did. If it isnt lost technology, it is more likely it was made by a mold and pouring a cement mixture.
Have you seen the guy who can move massive objects by himself using leverage and a pivot stone? This combined with temporary mud ramps could explain it?
It might be extinct. Or we just don't know which plant it is. In ancient civilizations such a plant could have become valuable and then hunted into extinction. I don't know that it is, but if one looks in fossil records like amber, this planet once had 2-3 times more species of bugs and plants. We have killed off two thirds.
It just sounds strongly acid not impossible. One likely could find the plant with a brute force search and a bit of litmus paper ;-). I'll bet it will be a known plant acid in a higher than normal concentration present in the plant as a poison to prevent animals or incest from eating it.

I wonder if the cocoa leaf is what the ancients used, supposedly cocaine was found in an Egyptian mummy, Peru, Bolivia and Egypt have similar looking stone work, the casing stones of the great pyramid look very similar to stonework in Peru
I wonder if mercury could have been important in such a technology. We know that mezoamerican but also other granite working cyvilisations (like Egyptians) were fascinated by it, and mined it, but we don't really know if there was any practical application for it. Maybe there was, in stone processing.
Just as the animals and plants, all the pre-flood people were giant even in their smallest specimens. They lived many many hundreds of years and not only had brains thrice our size and corresponding vastly superior intelligence, they had flawless memory as well. Theirs was an evidently global religious advanced culture whose wicked worship called for global judgment. You and I had better get to know this Creator since only 8 people were on that ark.
The son of gods which was the son of the fallen angel and the women .. they become great heroes and renowed they built their kingdom all over the earth... They become powerful but sinned against the Sovereign God.... God removed them from the earth by the great flood .... What was remained was fossils relic and the structures that was built...
Concrete filled slumping bags that form each block. The face and side of the bag is cut away once the concrete/whatever mortar mixture has set and the next bag is then started. This is how they got paper thin precision "cuts/joins" between the giant stones/blocks. Eventually the concrete will weather and lime leaches out till it looks like natural stone.
Nope. Geologists have located the quarries from where the stone blocks were cut. Also, the back of the stone blocks at Sacsayhuaman are rough/uncut. This contradicts your theory, because bags would have formed blocks with smooth surfaces on all sides, whereas one side of all blocks at this site was left very rough because it was never viewed and was not in contact with other blocks that needed smoothness to create tight fits. Anyway, the notion of making concrete still does not explain why such large stones were put in place.
Priceless information! Listen! I see hand tool size solid very old rocks around here at a very old site in Spain. Hundreds of them laying around. And some of them were softened and worked as art pieces and tools (!) They have a shape like it was a pasta or clay when people squashed them into shape. (!) Like cookies (!) But out of solid very hard lime stone inside if you break them (!) So I searced for the rock softening plant on YT . So I end up here.
I've seen polygonal masonry that's been used in the last few centuries. It is nothing on the scale or the intricacies that these people built on. They weren't supposed to have the knowledge or tech to build these things. They say we don't build with block and stone because it's expensive and difficult. That there are cheaper materials to use. True! And we have hydrolics, heavy equipment and other technologies,what did they have? Sure wasn't a plant. If you look at their constructions,you can see different techniques used ,the younger the construction, the more primitive the construction! If it's this difficult for us to do,it should be absolutely impossible for them. And they built it on a mountain peak,with granite from a different mountain! You can't drag multi ton blocks of granite up a mountain with hemp rope and logs! I'm not saying it was aliens. But don't try to blow smoke up my ass. I think probably the Inca and other tribes found some of these places already built moved in and added to them the best they could. I believe the dating is way off in South America, Africa, India and turkey at all of these monolithic sites. Seems like 6,000 yrs of history is about all we know in the old world,even less in the America's. But it's looking more and more like there's been much more going on and a lot more history than we know on this world!
Plant technology to "soften" stones ? Sounds wonderful till you look closely at that alleged technology. One can extrapolate a number of things and determine whether it's plausible or even possible for such a method or technique to have been employed, such things as the availability of and the amount of material or product needed, and infrastructure behind it to support large-scale work, thus tell tail sings like tools, writings, facilities. The rocks themselves should with technology today tell if the rocks had been acted upon by chemical processes or other means. How much plant juice would you need to produce to build the structures they did ? The facilities and manpower to keep this juice available when needed Etc...

It's nothing magical or extraordinary, it is simply walls built from mud, they were smoothed and random lines were carved to create the different patterns in the mud. The mud dried and, some stones cracked at the lines quickly, others over vast periods of time.
Llamas and lots of able-bodied men - that's what. If the stone's surfaces were softened, there would be no need for extensive shaping. You just walk around and look for boulders with, roughly, the right shape, then splash the juice over their surfaces and lift them with ropes into position. Gravity does the compression and close fitting of stone blocks.

@@sshreddderr9409 Right...and no doubt they molded the 40 ton rocks with their bare hands.
@@ericl7238 I never said they used their bare hand. Im thinking about electrical devices and wire saws combined with softening. if you had an easy way to move and soften them, then polygonal megaliths would be the construction method with the least amount of effort needed, and it would be the most durable. it would also be reusable and reshapable.
I think them using such huge stones means they could move them with such ease that it became efficient to use them over smaller stones.
What did they do when this liquid touched the Incas ' skin ,hands legs ,bodies etc ? I ' d imagine a stone softening potion would be pretty potent and toxic to the human body if touched . I mean it would not have the same strength as spring water ,that's for sure , more like an acid type consistency about it , Huh ! I'm just saying ...
In Central America there is a tree when you cut it, it has sticky latex that burns, and then there is also a plant that is an antidote that stops the burning, so I'm sure they found a solution.
This isn’t lost technology; one can “soften” stones with a rock tumbler and a stone chisel. Cut your desired shape then tumble until smooth. The real question is what mechanism that the Inca had access to would be large enough to tumble these stones? It wold have to be the size of a car to fit rocks that large.
That bird knows some things that humans don't know he puts a leave on there and creates a cup to catch the river water so he'll have drinking water that is pretty smart it's smarter than some people
If there is no evidence what was the point of this video ?
the stone features is proof. you have to be delusional to not see that those rocks used to be soft. In egypt there is even polished drops and polished drip marks on some artifacts, and you can see that the polish has a depth to it, like something chemically altered the rock.
there are stones fused into others, features that look like concrete despite being bedrock, obviously bent rocks that used to be rectangularly cut, etc.
not to mention that all other techniques are out of question and this one also removes most of the completely nonsensical amount of labor.
polygonal megaliths would be the easiest, most stable and fastest to build if you could soften them and move them easily, because you have to cut as little as possible and the stones do not need any precise shaping, cause the pressure does that for them.
According to explorer Col. P.H.Fawcett the leaf is a dark reddish leaf from a plant that grows about a foot high, in Chuncho country on the Pyrene River. in his book he states that birds would rub this leaf against stone and over time it would soften the stone allowing them to "carve out" areas int he stone for nests....(page 76 in his book "Exploration"). I would suggest that any plant the did or does exist that had been discovered (or re-discovered) would be completely off limits to the average person now, perhaps even the average explorer, unless they were government commissioned..and if they were govt commissioned, does anyone really think info learned would be shared with the public, ie any civilian...
quarried stone does not share the same microscopic qualities as the stones used in the structures. The structured stone contain an organic compound not found in the stone of the quarry. This suggests quarried stone was ground into a powder and MIXED with something organic,
a plant mash.
Any plant that did this would actually have huge commercial value. Stone cutting is done world wide, and a plant that made stone cutting faster cheaper better would be valuable. Governments cannot control every plant and access to every plant. Thanks for the reference and description.
It doesn't explain how these megalith stones were quarried and moved into place. Plus the INCAS obviously didn't use the plants to soften the stones they used to repair these megalithic monuments.
Sorry but you hypothesis is wrong. In 1920 an unknow architect wrote a paper on what he found, what look like small broken mill stones, laying next to piles of round diorite stones. When the site was later clean up these small broken mill stones were taken and thrown away living only the diorite stones left . The architect hypothesis was that these small broken mill stones were realy, round counter weights, and that the diorite stones were realy being use as drill bits, to cut the basult blocks. the diorite stones. were some how place on a small wooden pole and rotated the hard diorite stone wouild cut the block very easyly the nobs on the block were us as a gide to garge the depth of the cuts. This young unknow architect surmise that this is how they cut the stones so easly.
Spanish missionaries witnessed this technique being used to soften stone and documented it in their journals.
Could be large lumps of mineralised meat ? i experimented with a packet of defrosted frozen beef cubes and sprinkled a some cornflour over cubes and pressed the cubes into the shape of a impressive small wall .Then made a nice vindaloo curry with home made chapatis' , Do not forget about the giant men in Genesis ?
If such a plant did excist, it would have been on abudance there.
It Still does not explain the precision or the fact that some stone weigh so much and are stacked so high on top of a mountain. It would have been quarried out of the mountain itself and in those Times i think people were much more Busy with getting enough food Every day, it would require so much man power like eqypt did.
If it isnt lost technology, it is more likely it was made by a mold and pouring a cement mixture.
Have you seen the guy who can move massive objects by himself using leverage and a pivot stone? This combined with temporary mud ramps could explain it?
yet no one has ever tried making this *
Man has been EVERYWHERE that Man can venture I believe. Tell me....where is this "plant"?
It could be someplace where the sun don’t shine! Where might that be?
…
Up your butt… Up your butthole?
It might be extinct. Or we just don't know which plant it is. In ancient civilizations such a plant could have become valuable and then hunted into extinction. I don't know that it is, but if one looks in fossil records like amber, this planet once had 2-3 times more species of bugs and plants. We have killed off two thirds.
This kind of rymes with the Egyptian pyramids being a chemical plant...
A yes. A plant which breaks the laws of thermodynamics. Defentifly real.
It just sounds strongly acid not impossible. One likely could find the plant with a brute force search and a bit of litmus paper ;-). I'll bet it will be a known plant acid in a higher than normal concentration present in the plant as a poison to prevent animals or incest from eating it.
Came here for some urban development life hacks and got transported to the history channel at 3am
Warping of space/time is real. Many things are real yet seem impossible.
The answer is "llancac alpa"
This is a reddish mud from sulphur mines of Inca
They used the acid mud from their mines, which generated sulphuric acid through bacterial oxidation of pyrite (fools gold). It reaches an acidity of up to pH = 0.5, which is 104 times more acid than humic acid which is known to weather silica containing rocks via silica gel to the clay mineral kaolin. This acid mud allowed dissolving and softening the rock material superficially to a viscoelastic silica gel. The process could be further enhanced more than tenfold by addition of (oxalic acid containing) plant sap, a skill suggested from popular tradition. Moderate heating of crushed pyrite in gaps between chiseled stones generated additional hot sulphuric acid. Where the stone to stone contact transmitted weight, pressure dissolution in the acidic environment removed material, and silica precipitation regenerated material in cracks and pores elsewhere.The appearance of shiny and glassy Inca stone junctions and interfaces is explained via solidification of in-situ generated or additionally added silica gel.
I wonder if the cocoa leaf is what the ancients used, supposedly cocaine was found in an Egyptian mummy, Peru, Bolivia and Egypt have similar looking stone work, the casing stones of the great pyramid look very similar to stonework in Peru
It has the ability to destroy a nose so why not stone
So concrete with irregular forms with artistic design.. Melting rock without fire would be interesting.
I wonder if mercury could have been important in such a technology. We know that mezoamerican but also other granite working cyvilisations (like Egyptians) were fascinated by it, and mined it, but we don't really know if there was any practical application for it. Maybe there was, in stone processing.
I had the same question
Ancient contruction was made with geopolymer tecnology. Look for Davidovtis from geopolymer institute.
Joseph Davidovits is a charlatan
Yes.
Here's how it was done ua-cam.com/video/884rjnOSnbI/v-deo.html
Seriously. Come on man.
Just as the animals and plants, all the pre-flood people were giant even in their smallest specimens.
They lived many many hundreds of years and not only had brains thrice our size and corresponding vastly superior intelligence, they had flawless memory as well. Theirs was an evidently global religious advanced culture whose wicked worship called for global judgment. You and I had better get to know this Creator since only 8 people were on that ark.
The son of gods which was the son of the fallen angel and the women .. they become great heroes and renowed they built their kingdom all over the earth... They become powerful but sinned against the Sovereign God.... God removed them from the earth by the great flood .... What was remained was fossils relic and the structures that was built...
Concrete filled slumping bags that form each block. The face and side of the bag is cut away once the concrete/whatever mortar mixture has set and the next bag is then started. This is how they got paper thin precision "cuts/joins" between the giant stones/blocks.
Eventually the concrete will weather and lime leaches out till it looks like natural stone.
Nope. Geologists have located the quarries from where the stone blocks were cut. Also, the back of the stone blocks at Sacsayhuaman are rough/uncut. This contradicts your theory, because bags would have formed blocks with smooth surfaces on all sides, whereas one side of all blocks at this site was left very rough because it was never viewed and was not in contact with other blocks that needed smoothness to create tight fits. Anyway, the notion of making concrete still does not explain why such large stones were put in place.
Priceless information!
Listen!
I see hand tool size solid very old rocks around here at a very old site in Spain. Hundreds of them laying around.
And some of them were softened and worked as art pieces and tools (!)
They have a shape like it was a pasta or clay when people squashed them into shape. (!)
Like cookies (!)
But out of solid very hard lime stone inside if you break them (!)
So I searced for the rock softening plant on YT .
So I end up here.
I've seen polygonal masonry that's been used in the last few centuries. It is nothing on the scale or the intricacies that these people built on. They weren't supposed to have the knowledge or tech to build these things. They say we don't build with block and stone because it's expensive and difficult. That there are cheaper materials to use. True! And we have hydrolics, heavy equipment and other technologies,what did they have? Sure wasn't a plant. If you look at their constructions,you can see different techniques used ,the younger the construction, the more primitive the construction! If it's this difficult for us to do,it should be absolutely impossible for them. And they built it on a mountain peak,with granite from a different mountain! You can't drag multi ton blocks of granite up a mountain with hemp rope and logs! I'm not saying it was aliens. But don't try to blow smoke up my ass. I think probably the Inca and other tribes found some of these places already built moved in and added to them the best they could. I believe the dating is way off in South America, Africa, India and turkey at all of these monolithic sites. Seems like 6,000 yrs of history is about all we know in the old world,even less in the America's. But it's looking more and more like there's been much more going on and a lot more history than we know on this world!
Poinsettia...thats the one!
They identified it trust me
Plant technology to "soften" stones ? Sounds wonderful till you look closely at that alleged technology. One can extrapolate a number of things and determine whether it's plausible or even possible for such a method or technique to have been employed, such things as the availability of and the amount of material or product needed, and infrastructure behind it to support large-scale work, thus tell tail sings like tools, writings, facilities. The rocks themselves should with technology today tell if the rocks had been acted upon by chemical processes or other means. How much plant juice would you need to produce to build the structures they did ? The facilities and manpower to keep this juice available when needed Etc...
I have a plant of Chilean ephedra. It isn't that potent. I have chewed on the stems and berries and am still quite alive.
amazing i hope its true
They rubbed them together with slippery gritty clay

LMFAO🤣😂 to answer the title of this video. A huge resounding hell NO!
It's nothing magical or extraordinary, it is simply walls built from mud, they were smoothed and random lines were carved to create the different patterns in the mud. The mud dried and, some stones cracked at the lines quickly, others over vast periods of time.
not technology they used acid
Not buying it.
No don't subscribe to a leaf that softens a 5 ton stone block... like come on... whos lifting and shaping it for starters...
Llamas and lots of able-bodied men - that's what. If the stone's surfaces were softened, there would be no need for extensive shaping. You just walk around and look for boulders with, roughly, the right shape, then splash the juice over their surfaces and lift them with ropes into position. Gravity does the compression and close fitting of stone blocks.
Imagine what can be done with an army of coke head laborers could do 🤔
hmmmm
Should have been posted on April 1! Rubbish!
Well, there is the idea the Atlanteans had a power tools industry prior to the Great Younger Dryas deluge.
absurd theory.
It’s more absurd the way these structures are built
Very boring to hear this man...
