[Music] hello everybody and welcome to ancient architects there are many videos on YouTube which discussed the possibility of ancient high technology which we believe existed due to the precise stonework of ancient architecture seen around the world the stone monuments often contain some of the hardest naturally occurring rocks in the world such as diorite and granite that were shaped so perfectly and had a clean smooth finish and today in the 21st century with lathes and diamond bit drills we still cannot replicate some of the ancient stone work just look at this perfect hole through a huge piece of Egyptian granite how did they do it and how did they produce his perfectly concave finish on another piece of hard igneous rock and look at this pre-dynastic Egyptian vars hollowed out from a single piece of solid die rights not to mention the perfect internal right angles inside the so-called sarcophagus of the Great Pyramid in Cairo museums Old Kingdom rooms you can find dozens of Oz's bowls boxes and statues carved from Granite's diorite schist and obsidian and there is no easy answer as to how such intricate shapes are achieved with such precision modern stone craft experts have no idea how such objects were made with a limited technology available we are told by archaeological experts that the ancient Egyptians use tools such as pounding balls copper chisels and stone hammers the Old Kingdom stone artifacts have clean lines and perfect proportions and the giant diorite and granite statues have satin smooth surfaces and delicately carved features as if coming from a mold professor Ivan Watkins a geologists and stonework expert from st. Cloud State University in Minnesota investigated some of the stonework in microscopic detail he says that the primary indicator of how a stone was processed or worked is the condition of the surface of the material at microscopic level during his investigation he found that inca and egyptian stone masonry had similar workmanship indicating that the same technology was available across both nations hard igneous rocks are extremely difficult to cut and a mechanical and physical method of cutting them would leave uneven mineral surfaces as the rock would naturally crack along low angles if it was hammered stones like Granite's contain a mix of minerals with varying degrees of hardness and when force is applied to the stone surface for example hammering grinding polishing with abrasives it would cause the weaker planes to crack naturally and the tougher parts to keep together the ancient stonework in the aforementioned Egyptian and Inca monuments and stoneware shows smooth and slick surfaces which means that scientifically they were not cut using the method stated by archaeologists what khun's discovered evidence that some stones certainly underwent extreme heat during modification so much so the quartz melted into a glaze that filled in irregularities to make a smooth vitreous surface Watkins and other researchers have seen these slick stones in various Inca stone masonry at various sites throughout Peru having what looked like a ceramic glaze they almost have a plastic look about them but how did they do it he found one clue in the bracelet worn by a modern-day priest in Cusco Peru in the annual festival of the Sun a priest lit wisps of cotton on fire using a bracelet which is designed with a highly polished concave indentation to focus the sun's rays he then found a cachet of large parabolic golden bowls kept in a Peruvian Museum there seemed to be constructed like golden mirrors that would be able to magnify and concentrate sun rays if they were in fact an alloy of gold and silver it would have had fantastic reflective properties but can sunlight actually cut stone watkins points to the conquistadors records mentioning an Inca golden dish that was so large its span the length of two men the sacred artifacts was a power he cut up and melted by invaders and shipped back to Spain could this have been large enough to concentrate the sun's energy into an almost laser-like beam what can certainly believe so and he states that an object of this size and made of gold silver alloy would certainly be able to cut even the hardest of rocks consulting with geologist David Lindroth Watkins tested his ideas in a number of experiments and he found out the rock could be cooked with a hundred watt laser focused at an area two millimeters in diameter he found that repeated passes using the same power can cut any stone down to size the light cutting through the stone is called thermal disaggregation what can speculates are the big granite bedrock posts at Machu Picchu look like a place to hold huge mirrors for stone cutting purposes Peru like Egypt gets very strong sunlight all year round the huge dishes allow the Incas to cut rock in a very precise fashion and we can see that the blocks are so closely matched that a knife blade cannot be inserted between them another legend in the book secrets of the undies by brother Phillip mentioned sacred golden disks - it states that one Inka priest of the temple of the Seven Rays named Amaru Muru fled from his temple with a sacred golden disk known as the key of the gods of the Seven Rays and hid in the mountains of high yamasa the disks were clearly of great importance to the Incas and it is important to note just how strongly ancient civilizations worship the Sun maybe some of the sun discs we see in ancient art are not actually esoteric depictions of the Sun but literal disks that focused the sun's rays so the ancients could harness this energy on earth maybe this is the lost ancient technology that would explain so much about ancient construction methods the amplification of sunlight - silently cuts and shaped stones as hard as granite to build magnificent structures and objects and to seemingly drill perfectly spherical holes what can say is that his theory evolved after he noticed the glaze on the wall of the cave that contained inca stonework and you can only get a glaze by heating the rock to quite extreme temperatures what kins are since painted a solar-powered stone cutting and polishing device that he says was influenced by Inca and Egyptian technology the idea of ancient lenses being used to harness the power of the Sun was discussed at length in Robert temples book the Crystal Sun rediscovering a lost technology of the ancient world the most secret science of the ancient world he finds evidence for the technology in Greece Egypt and the ruins of Troy which he believes has been misidentified in fact temple has found more than 450 ancient optical artifacts most of them being crystal lenses but in any case magnifying aids heinrich schleimann the 19th century discoverer of troy excavated 48 rock crystal lenses another hoard was found in crete and there are many examples in mesopotamia and egypt mainly from the old kingdom i don't believe as many claimed that the ancient egyptians harnessed electricity to power tools such as drills because as far as we know that never been any electrical items found police searches have found evidence of ancient lenses and together with the golden discs of south america we now know that there was a way to melt stone cut it and fit it together using the power of the sermon thank you for watching this episode of ancient architects please like this video please comment below and please subscribe to the channel thank you very much
