zoser Posted March 9, 2013 #8376 Share Posted March 9, 2013 the edges are the only problem here, the craftsmanship is excellent, the rest is just grind/sand in, like drilling a square hole It just takes longer than a regular round hole on account of the grinding motion is easier the edge is difficult but not impossible, just takes a much longer time because you have to go slow, chipping the sharp lined side edges is the prime danger Stop the circumlocution. With what tools? How were the straight edges and corners achieved to such precision? Where are the tools? If the work was done in classical time they should still be around. They are not. Before posting an ad hoc selection of crow bars and axes, I want to see proper stonemasons tools contempary with the site or found near the site, capable of such work. We have all the Roman tools, why not these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoser Posted March 9, 2013 #8378 Share Posted March 9, 2013 A nice pic showing vitrified stone at Sacsayhuaman with unexplained pock marks. The pock marks were made when some object pushed into the soft stone. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way can crude tools produce internal edges and corners to that precision. No precedent for it anywhere............ Obvious really. How come it was never replicated anywhere in the world?

Think; it was never replicated. The Spanish brought with them no technology, no understanding of how it was all done. If they mixed with the Inca they would have established how it was done and replicated it themselves and transported the know how to Europe. The technology died in South America. Why? Because the builders had long disappeared when the Spanish arrived. All the Spanish had to explain it was guesswork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you mean like perfectly cast axe heads, chisels, (even needles for sowing). Oh and the iron tools we already mentioned.

seeder Posted March 9, 2013 #8392 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Clay: Peruvuan stone: as explained with wiki backup pillow faced architecture But allow me to make the font bigger so you actually manage to read it "Another building method was called “pillow-faced” architecture. Pillow faced building was achieved by using fired adobe bricks and mud mortar. The Incas would then sand large, finely shaped stones coated in mud and clay. Then they would fit the bricks and stones together using the mud mortar into jigsaw like patterns. Pillow-faced architecture was typically used for temples and royal places like Machu Picchu. http://en.wikipedia....ruction_methods ' Edited March 9, 2013 by seeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted March 9, 2013 #8393 Share Posted March 9, 2013 guess where and guess how long ago ? if you know what to look for, its not just the size that's impressive, notice the joints between the column and the top rest edge you have to place it over two lined area, all three has got to be right on the spot or it wont do .... you still have the headache of size and weight to deal with this my kind of game, AAs ? not likely, just took a long time ....

zoser Posted March 9, 2013 #8394 Share Posted March 9, 2013 So there we are. No explanations for the vitrification and the moulding. Dozens more images where that came from. No precedent for it whatsoever in classical building. No replication of precision granite work anywhere in the world after PP, Cuzco, Sacsayhuaman, Ollyantaytambo. Unexplained technology that had to come from outside the planet. Molecular alteration of the hardest stones on the planet. So boys and girls I am calling your hand. It's time to put up or shut up. If you have solid evidence that suggests otherwise then now is the time to show it. You have no aces; no argument, and no proof of alternative prosaic methodology that is anyway believable. No pictures of the Parthenon is going to do it. Unless you can find precision granite there. What about the saws? Where are they? If the Peruvian stone was saw cut with copper and sand then where are the saws? The answer is deep in your minds dear chaps. Berlin surrenders.

Each with distinctive precision and style? The rubble terrace construction is definitely Inca, but who did the precision work? You just can't generalise about MP as if it was all done by one group at the same time. Sorry seeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen that before, but I am inclined to ask is it granite and is it precision work? Big blocks alone maketh not AA. Show me precision. Show me proof of dates?

lightly Posted March 9, 2013 #8400 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hi seeder.. Stones wrapped in clay, which then later turns to Stone? Got a picture of a " pillow faced" wall like that? I've never heard of such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
