Ancient Megaliths So Puzzling Their Precision, Origin and Meaning Are Still Unknown

archeology conventional books and museums lay out a neat and understandable chronicle of prehistory and history through the ages this timeframe of human life starts out they say quite primitive and slowly and gradually becomes more advanced until we arrive at the modern age it's neat orderly but fails to take into account the whole truth from megalith wonders with no conventional explanations to outright evidence of advanced technology these mysterious archaeological finds confound the experts and will continue until we the public figure it out in multiple parts of the world centuries before the modern age says these things are possible you'll find amazing construction techniques engineering feats that cannot be reproduced even by today's standards these archaeological mysteries will seriously call into question what you've been told about history buckle your seatbelt Dorothy because Kansas is going bye-bye Peru is one of those places that smashes all the records when looking at lost advanced technology ancient machining softening of heart stones or gigantic megaliths it has it all some of the most perplexing ancient mysteries are all confined to the cusco sacred valley think big think weird think extremely difficult technology the main thing researchers have a problem with is the precision saw cuts with all the questions swirling around these stone cutting ability of the ancient people before the Inca whoever they were the fact is people interested in the mysterious archaeological finds around the world always seek for additional evidence or proof of unusual happenings and abilities at the Olay 10 tombow archaeological site in the mountains of Peru there are so many amazing walls temples and other structures that demonstrate these abilities of doing the impossible however just looking at an entire wall of smoothly fitting stones with no gaps or crevices despite not using mortar does not prove anything about how they were built questions are abound there are no answers that make sense although some are offered by mundane historians and archaeologists that never explain such things mere attempts to explain away another curious stone construct sheds more light on these questions the walls and buildings are made from andesite which is a very strong and hard stone that would be virtually impossible to cut with bronze tools when you take a closer look there are multiple places where it looks like someone used a saw possibly a power saw to cut the rock apart one instance shows a lump of rock still attached to the block a deep and incredibly straight and narrow cut is halfway between the lump and block it looks like somebody wielding a very precise tool was stopped halfway through his job to go attend to something else the exceedingly straight line of the block above the lump sticking out also looks as if it were cut with a very strong precision instrument if you look at it another way why would a stonemason make a very narrow line between the block and lump instead of just taking chunks of the lump until he could chisel away the side to make it smooth this would not be the normal way of doing things if working with a hammer and chisel made of bronze instead the skinny line of the cut would require a very narrow blade or saw to remove the material from the block for such an ancient people who existed there even before the Inca to do this type of stonework with basic bronze tools is quite fantastic and technologically startling the mortar 'less 11 sided and 14 sided stone of ancient Peru in the hilltop fortresses near Cusco a large city in Peru resides an ancient empire there's so many examples of large stone blocks fitting seamlessly together in walls and buildings this type of unbelievable building skill also shows up the downtown section of the city right in the middle of the everyday modern life that people in Cusco enjoy it's more amazing to watch the amazement in people's faces it turns from confusion to awe and really provokes so much curiosity they go away never the same what makes these stones so interesting is that they come from a time before Inca were in power there archaeologists and historians insist that sites like olanta tombow and sexy human were constructed by the Inca people even though the Inca from the arrival of the Spanish insists otherwise it was an inheritance the unique 11 sided stone you may see on a tour of the city walls is often attributed to the Incans as well this is the expected and popular recantation that people give up debating however this megalithic wall comes from the time before recorded history in that area there are other pieces of evidence that do not fit the accepted timeline of the Incan people this amazing stone and the entire wall are just a couple of them what makes this wall in the eleven sided stone within it so fantastic when most ancient people constructed walls they not square or rectangular blocks of stone and fit them together as neatly as possible many of course used a type of mortar made from mud or clay to fill in the gaps between the blocks this stone is not a rectangle instead it has eleven precise and perfect sides that are carved as such an amazing smoothness they fit with the surrounding rocks perfectly without the use of mortar of any kind the stone blocks are so tightly fit that you cannot poke a pin or even a piece of paper between them another fine example of 14 sides are situated nearby and there are quite a few cases of eleven sides this type of precise wall building technique is also seen in the mountainside fortresses already mentioned however it's not readily seen in other instances of pre-incan construction many of their walls are made from field stone or smaller chunks of andesite laid in the usual way of rock walls this includes placing larger stones and then filling in the gaps of smaller ones if the pre Incans had such an amazing stone building power to create form fitting eleven sided stones why did they not use this incredibly strong and impenetrable construction technique in all their important buildings why are these stones dated to a civilization older than historians know that Inca people to live and why did this amazing stone working skill vanish completely after the Spanish conquest succeeded at every site we seem to see two layers of construction from different time periods a great example of two different cultures layering two completely different styles of construction together lies at the temple of ollantaytambo yet another location of advanced stonework lies in cusco sacred valley it's proved impossible to explain so far huge trapezoidal slabs of pink granite with earthquake shims form a wall whose original quarried blocks came from another mountain just the transportation to the site of the blocks cannot be done today without extreme modern machinery and possibly building a road this just ignites researchers and imagination expectedly run wild mainstream archeologists and historians described this location as part of the governmental seat of Incan civilization and was also used as a fortification during the Spanish conquest period it was again always portrayed as an inheritance site the unbelievable strength of this fortress City gives it the distinction of being the only location where the Indians were able to stave off the attacks by the Spanish unfortunately that did not last very long and the Spanish ultimately conquered all of Peru looking at current day photographs of this archaeological wonder helps you understand how the mountainous position and gigantic stone walls could help with this battle almost everything about these ruins is massive and mind-blowing you need to walk up a massive staircase with tiered levels to even reach olanta tombow then when you get to the top you can see a wide array of mysterious and unusual stone walls and carvings there still exists a walled property of temples ceremonial fountains terraces and baths and high storerooms that provision safe these were made from field stone instead of quarried limestone the face of Viracocha the Incan High God is carved into the rocks the mountain a closer look at the megalithic architecture again begins to create questions in your mind about the otherworldly skill and precision represented here one rock is almost seamlessly laid atop another or unusually shaped stones fill in odd spaces between larger ones with no gaps between there's evidence of trapezoidal construction that demonstrates a much higher degree of skill than the rough stone and mortar used in other parts of the complex this sprawling fortress high atop the mountain ringed with unbelievably precise walls with multi-ton stones and edged by tall terraces stands as a monument to both building and engineering especially by today's standards that seems beyond the realm of human ability sexy humans perfect fortress hollow machu picchu may be one of the world's most famous mountaintop sites Peru also boasts a nearby fortress called sexy human near the city of Cusco the name itself means royal eagle and it can be easy to picture those majestic birds soaring above the massive walls that line the green hilltops the area itself is approximately 3,700 meters above sea level and covers more than 3000 hectares everything about sex a human is huge the mysterious pre-incan people who left this legacy disappeared long ago around the 1400s fortress outside the main city of Cusco was Rhian habited by Incas for protection or ceremonial purposes archaeologists have found pottery here which may seem to indicate that people lived at the site as well however questions arise when you examine these rock walls of sex a human more closely there fashioned from grey stone called andesite or UK limestone well this is not an exceptionally hard type of stone the Incans who inhabited only had bronze tools to work with which worked quite soft when it comes to metal tools the capacity to carve stone is not outside of their reach but they don't claim this work they say their predecessors did it the incredible perfection of these walls seems almost beyond human ability what makes the walls of sex a human's perfect fortress so remarkable first those who built it were apparently quite knowledgeable about earthquakes and the strength necessary to stay in them the massive foundational stones were not laid on the ground like with normal walls instead they were dug into the hard ground approximately 12 feet they can withstand anything that did not literally split them out and apart do not take this lightly it would literally take the mountain to split in two to destroy this fortress many walls have been made in antiquity with regular sizes and shapes of rock held together with clay or other mortar rock walls without mortar are also still standing today however nowhere else is the incredible masonry skill demonstrated so well than at this fortress the blocks of stone are not merely rectangular instead each one is uniquely shaped to fit so perfectly with the others adjacent to them that you could not slip the proverbial piece of paper between them the sum of the massive stone blocks way upward of 125 tons theories abound about how the ancient pre incan people were able to create walls with such amazing precision some say they used templates to carve the rocks into perfect shapes others suggested grinding down the stones with sand and water even more believed that there was no reasonable way that people with bronze tools or otherwise could accomplish this amazing feat of building technique it's so advanced engineers accept it would be almost impossible today it would take so much effort and resources the highest-paid engineers in the world accept a feat in answering the Enigma machine saw cuts will appear at Sacsayhuaman besides the amazing degrees of perfection that you see in pictures of the walls and buildings at Sacsayhuaman there are other mysterious pieces of evidence that seem to prove the existence of power tools it's unbelievable enough to believe that the precise angles and curves of the well-fitted stones were made with basic bronze tools many hundreds of years ago beside some local limestone the main stone variety used in these pre incan ruins is an igneous rock called andesite it's gray modeled and appears around certain types of volcanoes that were once active in Peru in fact andesite got its name from the Andes Mountains well different regions or formational volcanic behavior changes the final form of the rock andesite is usually extremely hard 7 on the Mohs hardness scale this would make carving with bronze tools extremely difficult if not impossible in most cases bronze itself only stands at 3 on the Mohs hardness scale although forming it into tools may have made it stronger still it does not seem possible to shape the stones as they did with tools like that besides the precision fit of many used in the walls and buildings up there in the mountains there are unused boulders that show exact angled cuts as well these could be the source stones that others used to create the walls were taken from from a fantasy point of view it's like someone had a lightsaber carving up cube of rock for fun the mystery remains about who or what cut the stones with such straight lines and edges it could be considered an anomaly if there were only a few instances of cutting and grinding that look like they were made with high-tech tools or machinery however the entire site is filled with examples these are not seen in earlier ruins and anything that came after the Spanish conquest was built very differently and inferior although the gigantic and extremely heavy stones that make up the walls surrounding the temples and baths are perhaps the most obvious examples of extreme engineering smaller pieces of evidence there are the grounds there are carvings in the temples water spouts and waterways to fill the baths and waterfalls and well-defined alcoves or niches cut into the flat rock walls one of our mainstream archaeologists described as a truly impressive but ultimately inexplicable incan fortress is not so readily understood or dismissed when you give it a closer look were these ancient peoples supernaturally gifted with the ability to carve stone with soft bronze tools to such exacting dimensions or did they have some long-lost technology or machine tools that gave them this power when it comes to Machu Picchu with its unique location and mysterious history it's so intriguing to everyday people archeologists and historians alike the name itself translates into ancient mountain in fact the massive stone walls and ruins of Machu Picchu are also a lot more than the accepted 550 years old suggestions about the original purpose of this impressive building project vary widely some say it was a fortress intended to preserve the Incan royalty and their subjects in case of an attack others believe it was the high-class but everyday home for high-level Inca people it could also be a type of getaway resort for the elite who lived in nearby Cusco the first mystery is basically trying to figure out who lived there and why it became more popular than other sites due to the Spanish invasion and conquest of the land other mysteries including a high percentage of temples and spiritual buildings why were the people who live there so devout or interested in religious ceremonies approximately 200 remains have been found in Machu Picchu but there's no indication if they live there full-time or were merely pilgrims who came in very spiritual retreat while the history of Machu Picchu is intriguing on its own the mysteries that surrounded our even more so the ruins sprawl around the mountaintop looking somehow like a natural part of the living stone beneath it the buildings and walls are made from granite some blocks are 50 tons or more and would have to have been lifted up from below to start construction the biggest mystery is how did relatively primitive people without steel tools manage to cut the blocks with such a high degree of skill and precision white granite is particularly hard stone which makes this feat of Engineering that much more amazing there are some walls and structures with stones fitting so neatly together that you could not push a pin between them these types of precision construction techniques were most often seen on the lower walls or the lower parts of walls more diverse and jumbled construction was layered on top of it did the people there somehow forget how to work with stone so well or did the mysterious pre-incan helpers who show them how disappear Japan is of no exception to precision high cut advanced stone masonry the Imperial Palace wall is a mind-boggling wonder reminiscent of Peru style yet a mysterious stone object lies amidst the bamboos in a village called Asuka in Japan there are other unusual shaped stones like this in the area the largest one is called the rock ship of Masuda or Masuda no afuni in japanese this solid granite structure measures 36 feet long 26 feet wide and 15 feet tall the calculated weight is approximately 800 tons when you see it it's quite obviously not a natural formation not only are the long sides of the stones carved in unique curved shapes but there are rectangular openings in the top just over 3 feet square these are only found on the largest specimen the tops of these are set somewhat into the surface of the giant rock and grooves angled downward on either side instead of being perfectly smooth with no evidence of construction at least one of the stone ships have cut out block designs on one side that show where it will be later smoothed out although the stone ships in Asuka Japan are quite impressive as objects questions still arise about their purpose indeed the largest one does look shockingly like an alien craft that's crash-landed in the forest when nearby historical evidence is considered some people surmise that they're part of a buddhist monument or some fantastic burial mounds in the years around 250 to 550 BC more unique explanations include seeing the stone ship says astronomical guideposts or markers for celestial observations perhaps the ancient Japanese were looking upward on their pure brightness holiday a lunar calendar measurement that signaled the start of the planting season or these megaliths may have been part of royal tombs both ideas are regular refuted by skilled historians in the end the Masuda know you a few nay remains a mysterious artifact from long ago that has no obvious purpose or source the archaeological evidence has come to light that connects these stone ships to nearby burial mounds astronomical studies buddhist temples or anything else instead the people who visit and view their pictures online can enjoy using their imagination to fill in the blanks about this unusual ancient find in present day Lebanon lies an ancient wonder that many people from every corner of the globe come to see instead of a great temple or piece of artwork the stone of the pregnant woman in Baalbek is famous simply for its size this massive block of limestone is the largest monolith ever carved or cut from stone anywhere and at any time on the planet this large rectangular piece which is also called the stone of the south is almost 20 meters long 6 meters wide and 5 and 1/2 meters thick it's now protruding from the sandy soil at an angle which makes it the perfect platform for interested tourists to hike up and down with these measurements and an understanding of the stone from that area the total weight has been calculated somewhere over a thousand tonnes who carved out this megalith from the ground and what was its purpose mainstream researchers say that it was carved by the Romans with the intention of transporting it to their Sun worshiping temple complex approximately 900 metres away the Halle appleís does indeed contain some very large and heavy stones but nothing on the scale of Baalbek spiller from Baalbek which was the site of an ancient civilization before the Romans ever showed up to the obvious Roman influence with temples and other buildings more questions seem to arise than answers perhaps the answer that current people seek should look beyond the mundane and the expected many mysteries from long ago are found in Egypt where the ancient people built a fantastic civilization out of the sand located some distance away from the iconic pyramids lies an area called Sakura here archeologists have dug up a unique building with massive black boxes that remain sealed to this day the site was originally excavated in 1850 its maze-like passageways meander under the ground into large arched chambers these types of finds are not exceptionally unusual for the land and upon which the ancient Egyptian civilization stood what is unusual is what the archaeologists found within these walls raised high atop massive blocks of stone rests 25 gigantic boxes shaped like coffin they're fashioned smoothly from black granite instead of being pieced together with various chunks and shards the entire box and lid of each work carved from a single solid piece of granite the lid fits neatly atop the boxes with high degrees of precision weight estimates for these coffins are approximately 100 tons each the massive size of these boxes is unusual enough however more mysteries around the site whoever or whatever the boxes were for must have been quite important as the black granite came from Aswan approximately a 1000 kilometer journey many workers must have been involved with their carving placing not to mention the construction of the tunnels and chambers themselves however unlike in many of the temples and tombs found in the area there were no discolorations due to smoke or flame from torches or lamps when the people who found them and others open the massive black coffins they found that they were quite empty this raised even more mysteries and suspicions why would the Egyptians go through so much trouble of making 25 huge coffins with nothing to bury inside of them local Egyptologists who tend to follow the government line claim that the boxes were made for sacred bulls this would put the construction back during the later days of the dynastic times when Egyptians only used bronze tools scientists suggest that carving black granite with this degree of accuracy and smoothness would be impossible with that softer metal who carved the black coffins of the Sarah Pam why were they interred empty and the maze-like halls of an underground structure why were there no hieroglyphics or carvings on any of them or the wall surrounding them in the long list of Egyptian mysteries this is one of the most enigmatic inside the Hathor temple supposedly built thousands of years ago by the Egyptians exists a curious carving that shows certain things that have no earthly place in the ancient temple this unique picture has come to be known as the Dendera light since the temple it's found in rests in a larger complex by that name there are actually three different examples in that place of ancient Egyptians using something extremely similar to what appears to be electrical lighting in lightbulbs while the mainstream archaeological and historical communities come up with alternate claims about what these carvings depict open-minded people cannot argue with these similarities between our current knowledge of electricity and lamps and the pictures inscribed on the walls by people long ago the most prominent of the carvings has the image of an unusual humanoid being standing on the right and holding aloft a pair of ceremonial daggers its face is lizard-like and it has a prominent tail on the left side of the carving stands a classic depiction of an Egyptian man holding a very unusual device between them smaller people or perhaps children sit on the floor and interact with each other what's the unusual device the man is holding the base looks somewhat like a flower but also very much like the flared end of a modern light bulb attached to it is a long curved bulb shape with a snake-like filament inside if that did not appear to be a light bulb on its own and the base also has a long cord coming out of it and trailing across the floor to an upright box near the lizard like being in the background is an object that looks very much like a transistor could this be evidence of mysterious ancient technology that was not thought to exist back in those times the carvings appear to depict some sort of special meeting or a speech with the spotlight being shown toward the right hand figure imagine the power of a god-like race coming down and bestowing such amazing objects on the early Egyptians these depictions of the Dendera light can open the path to new understandings another out-of-place artifact found in Egypt was discovered in the karnak temple instead of something overt and showing a carving of a lightbulb this mysterious evidence demonstrated the existence of highly refined power tool usage researchers who were looking around the temple complex to learn how it was built and other information discovered highly unusual holes drilled into the very heart pink granite during the dynastic period in Egypt workers used bronze hand tools to cut and carve stone and do all the other wonderful things they did while many structures and objects created then work quite impressive and building them with bronze tools must have been very difficult the drill holes found in this stone are virtually impossible and it was not just one discovered drill hole that began to raise questions there are many in evidence around the site one large example has a very large drill hole in half a block of granite with smooth perfectly curved sides and a flat base other evidence of power drills and high-tech drill bits included straight and smooth holes dug straight into the granite additional research showed that not only was it possible to drill into the stone using hand tools but the drill holes themselves showed evidence of rotating drill bits they have spiraling grooved lines that you could even get with modern drill equipment the difference however is startling these spiral lines are approximately two millimeters apart since each one indicates a complete revolution of the drill this small measurement indicates that the drills that the ancient Egyptians use were on par or even better at doing their job than the ones we use today in Carnac in other places nearby these neat drill holes show up in many different types of stone while there can be a sufficient argument for certain techniques in softer stones like alabaster others like granite are much harder and would require the exceptional effort and unique widely unavailable tools in order to achieve the end result these simple artifacts of the Egyptians engineering and building methods point to out of time technology or the assistance of beings much more advanced than they were when all the mysteries of ancient Egypt are combined we have quite a collection of things that mainstream archaeologists would rather not reveal to the world despite the generally accepted knowledge that the people of ancient Egypt were not in possession of advanced technology there continues to be more and more evidence that they somehow had access to things they should not have one such piece of intriguing evidence comes from the Abydos Temple this important building was fashioned as were most in the area from sandstone it held many carvings inside of information about the Pharaohs and stories about their lives originally the template carvings for the pharaoh seti but more information about ramses ii was added later there's evidence that the temple was used in Egypt for quite a long time inside this ancient egyptian temple is a particularly large slab of stone that's positioned to hold up the heavy ceiling this makes it a very important piece of construction and is quite possible that they would have carved very important information there along with some common motifs of plants animals and insects there appears to be a very clear depiction of a helicopter an airplane and what could be described as an unidentified flying object or UFO of course the Egyptian authorities have another explanation they insist this is evidence of palimpsest which means that a later artist carved over an existing image and some of the original work is still visible well this certainly did happen throughout history and in ancient Egypt the results look like expected hieroglyphics and images of recognizable things associated with that long ago civilization here on the important stone in the Abydos temple you see not one but three out of place and out of time flying machines could it be just by chance that the person carving the stone managed to make a helicopter plane and UFO accidentally it gets more difficult to believe in the palem test hypothesis when you look at the entire collection of mysterious artifacts locations and legends about ancient Egypt if there were flying machines thousands of years ago in Egypt it would certainly alleviate some of the mysteries surrounding their building technology and their legends of gods and goddesses with wings as more archaeological mysteries out of place artifacts and evidence of machine engineering far back in time come to light we rewrite the history that mainstream education taught us each perfectly fitted stone unbelievable hieroglyphic and seemingly impossible construction open our minds a bit further to the ancient wonders of the world how are they created where did the ancient people get their tools and knowledge the idea that all ancient people lived primitive lifestyles with limited knowledge and understanding is constantly challenged by new discoveries and insights it's time to reveal the truth delve deeper into the archaeological and historical mysteries all around the globe and understand that the mainstream information is not the whole story of the human past [Music] [Applause]
