Could Ancient Peruvians Really Know How To Melt Stone Blocks?
The idea of a plant material melting stone looks implausible, the theory and science are gaining traction.
Why couldn’t the ancient Peruvians cut a stone to look like this if a Spanish artist could do it today?
Scientists and archaeologists are trying to figure out how odd ancient Peruvian structures like the
Sacsahuamán Complex were built.
These magnificent structures are composed of enormous stones that our
modern technology cannot move or arrange properly
Is the answer a special plant that allowed ancient Peruvians to
soften the stone, or were they aware of a mystery advanced old
technology that could liquefy stones?....
According
to investigators Jan Peter de Jong, Christopher Jordan, and Jesus
Gamarra, the stone walls at Cuzco show indications of being heated to a
high temperature and vitrified, making the exterior glossy – and
incredibly smooth.
In Spain, an artist may
create works of art that look to have been created by softening stone
and producing a beautiful piece from it. They look to be entirely
incomprehensible. I was ready to use “mind-blowing,” but I refrained.
Jong,
Jordan, and Gamarra conclude that “some form of high tech gadget was
used to melt stone blocks, which were then put and allowed to cool next
to hard, jigsaw-polygonal blocks already in situ” based on this
discovery. The new stone would be fastened against these stones with
near-perfect accuracy. Still, it would be a distinct block of granite
surrounded by other unions and “melted” into their interlocking
locations in the wall.”
“In this scenario,”
David Hatcher Childress wrote in his book ancient technology in Peru and
Bolivia, “power saws and drills would still cut and shape the stones as
the walls were erected.”
According to Jong and
Jordan, various ancient cultures worldwide we’re familiar with
high-tech stone melting technology. “The stones on some of Cuzco’s
historic alleys have been vitrified at a high temperature to give them
their unique glassy quality,” they add.
“The temperatures must approach 1,100 degrees Celsius,” Jordon,
de Jong, and Gamarra write, “and other ancient sites surrounding Cuzco,
particularly Sacsayhuaman and Qenko, have displayed indicators of
vitrification.” There’s also proof that the ancient Peruvians had access
to a plant whose secretions softened rock, allowing it to be shaped
into tight-fitting masonry.
In his book
Exploration Fawcett, Colonel Fawcett wrote that he had heard the stones
were glued together using a solvent that softened the rock to a
clay-like consistency. Colonel Fawcett reported how he discovered that
the stones were kept together by a liquid that softened the stone to a
clay-like consistency.
Brian Fawcett tells the
following anecdote in the footnotes of his father’s book: A friend of
his who worked at a mining site at 14,000 feet in Cerro de Pasco,
Central Peru, uncovered a jar in an Incan or pre-Incan tomb.
He
shattered the still-intact old wax seal when he opened the jar,
mistaking it for chicha, an alcoholic beverage. Later, the pot was
accidentally tipped over and landed on a rock.
“About
10 minutes later, I crouched over the rock and looked blankly at the
spilled liquid,” Fawcett explained. It was no longer liquid, and the
entire area where it was and the rock beneath it had become as mushy as
wet cement! It seemed as though the stone had melted like wax when
exposed to heat.”
Fawcett believes the plant may be found around the
Pyrene River’s Chuncho area, with a reddish-brown leaf and a height of
about afoot.
Another testimony comes from a
researcher studying a rare Amazonian bird. He watched as she brushed a
twig on the rock to create a nest. The fluid from the twig melts the
rock, allowing the bird to build its nest through it.
Some
may find it difficult to imagine that ancient Peruvians could have
constructed such magnificent temples as Sacshuhuamán utilizing plant
juice. Today, archaeologists and scientists are mystified as to how such
gigantic structures were erected in Peru and other parts of the world.
