NEW CHANNEL FROM ANCIENT ARCHITECTS: "Space and Planet" launches February 2019. Please subscribe now: bit.ly/2DwW4BZ
More than a year ago I made a video about the famous Inca or Pre-Inca Stone walls of Peru and I presented the hypothesis that the reason they are made from irregular blocks of stone yet interlock so perfectly is because they are made by stacking cement bags.
Although I’ve presented the idea, many viewers have pointed out a number of problems with the hypothesis and I have to admit that geologically this idea doesn’t work as the rocks have been analysed and their quarries have been located. So I have since been searching for an alternative explanation and I believe I’ve found a researcher who does have the answer.
Thanks to a subscriber who sent me a link, I have read a paper by Helmut Tributsch for the SDRP Journal for Earth Sciences and Environmental Studies back in December 2017, titled ‘On the reddish, glittery mud the Inca used for perfecting their stone masonry’ and wow, I think he may have solved this age-old conundrum. In this video I will quote his paper and present Helmet’s ideas but I strongly urge you to download his paper by clicking the link: www.academia.edu/37497925/On_t...

Having seen both in person, I assure you that I do know the difference in size between some boulders at Machu Pichu or Tikal and the statues of ancient Greece or the Renaissance. However, this video isn't about the movement or placement of the materials, but the care and exactness of the carving. Carving a 10 ton block into a really well shaped blob is not any more miraculous than carving 3 ton block into a beautiful woman on a chariot of fire. It is just a matter of tools, skill, and time. So, what was your point? That they aren't the same mass? Yes. Agreed.

I love your effort BUT, it seems to me that the first question to answer is, how they Quarried and moved each piece. Next question is what was the mechanism that allowed them to place and remove each piece possibly several times to ensure the tight fit. I was a journeyman Finnish carpenter for many years and any multiangle joint would take several fit checks and they did not usually weight more than 2000 lbs. These builders were amazing.

@@thomassicard3733 I have many hundreds of old books in my home library. can't remember which one, it might be Exploration Fawcett possibly, but there is a story related about some Western explorers in the Brazillian region who found a very old bottle with a stopper in it. Thinking it might possibly be an alcoholic brew but not wanting to test it, they asked one of their porters, a local native, to take a swig. he refused to do so and protested that it wasn't for drinking. In the altercation the bottle was knocked over and the fluid spilled onto a rock. As the men watched in amazement, the surface of the rock began to soften. Over the years I've read and heard numerous anecdotes about acidic substances being used to soften and sculpt rock, and it certainly explains much about the smooth, sculpted look of South American monuments and masonry. I've always believed the claims had substance to them, and these latest findings appear to vindicate the stories and explain the material evidence.

Researchers have at least recreated the paste and fused rocks together using the same chemical you'd find in the red mud. The rocks seal together with a similar smooth, glassy texture found in incan ruins. It's known today, as part of popular tradition in andrean natives, you can mix the red mud with an additive extracted from local tree sap (containing oxalic acid). The oxalic acid makes the already potent naturally occurring acid 10x stronger.

​@@Salty.Peasants I do not know the name of the paste. Several sources call the clay used “llàncac allpa”. I don't know a specific plant, but early chroniclers report a plant was mixed in to the red clay mortar. Oxalic acid is naturally occuring in many leafy plants, it is not a rare chemical. When it is mixed with sulfuric acid between stones, the oxalic acid decomposes, releases heat, and reacts with silicates in rocks. Heating the mixture increases the potency, and the reaction could have been self-heating. You can free English language research on the topic by searching the author's name: "HELMUT TRIBUTSCH". Early chroniclers of Incan construction said workers would lift and drop the same stone many times into place before it was fitted. No cranes, no pulleys, no ruler, no square, no beasts of burden, no iron tools. Hard to imagine.

I did stone work years ago for quite a few years, helped build homes, cutting/shaping all kinds of stone; and just from researching this particular site and also Pumu Punku, the only way this is possible; the rounded edges and beveling, the way they are formed and fit, would be if they were poured, or molded, or the molecular structure of the stone was able to be altered some how. All of the people who try to claim that monkeys with hammers (obviously exaggerating) just chiseled these stones, should have their degrees revoked. And not one time has anyone been able to re create any of this stuff with a “hammer and chisel”.

After spending a lifetime in construction I would put forth my own completely ordinary solution. Firstly, they quarried the stone using 220v Ginsu knives (like the turkey you carved last Thanksgiving). Then utilizing butterflies (which are very common by the way) which have been fortified with a strict diet of Espresso & Bee Pollen (vitamin B complex) they easily lifted these massive blocks & carried them across hill & dale & rivers (just like in Egypt) & gently placed them together. Next they used LSD to warp the atomic structure of the stone to mind-meld them together after which thousands of extremely bored peasants got together for the next 4,000 years (they lived a lot longer than us back then because they didn't eat fast food) & together (mostly because they were just bored) polished the stone work using sand & butter. I can prove it too -

I’ve seen a photo of something that looks like it may have been attached to the stone where the stumps are seen. The caption on the photo said “did the Inca know how to melt rock?” as the object looked very round and smooth without tool marks Basically it looked a slightly flattened spinning top, plum-bob or spindle with a short neck which looked like it had broken. Looking at the wall stones made me think of the photo I’d seen as the stumps on the blocks look like something was attached at some point. It’s got me thinking the object might have been a lifting point for a rope pulley system? The melted or rather lack of tool marks noted in the photo may be from ropes wearing away at the rock as they pulled and lifted the stone into position. I can imagine a counterweight pulley system which could take the weight and allow the masons to perfect their fitting and craftsmanship. They may have even moved the stone from the quarry to site using a similar system replacing counter weight with manpower?

Interesting and credible theory. As a small heads up, can you please work on doing the audio in a more conversational tone. Your presenting tone has an annoying repetitive rise in a tone at the end of each and every sentence which grates after five minutes of it and distracts from your good work and research you are presenting. I mention this, as it will improve the watchability of your videos.

I certainly like the sandbag hypothesis. You suggest the rocks have been analyzed and the quarries located and that destroys your hypothesis. On the contrary, like cement, you need ingredients and crushed granite from the quarry would be needed for the "mix" you use in the sandbags to form these walls. Why not try building one of these walls using cement bags and see if you come close.

Fine research Matt, but many questions remain: 1. How deep into this hard stone does the stated chemical process work? Is it more than surface corrosion/softening, because these stones appear softened and molded to significant depths. 2. What do you have to say about the Inca themselves reporting that the walls were already present when they arrived? 3. Nagging problem of how such massive stones were transported long distances without advanced technology. 4. What to make of the very obvious distinctions in building styles--sophisticated and crude--often right on top of one another for no apparent reason. -Cheers!

I’ve considered the idea that they might have split the stones using a series of wedges drilled into the rock face in a line and then hammered to split the rock, I would bet we’ve all seen this done before if you are at all interested in this topic. However they had to have been masters at it to be able to make the corners so sharp and strait. When the splitting of the rock is completed the first few inches where the wedges went into the rock would be carved off and the bulbous shape is created and then the cracks could be rejoined to make the seamless connection we have today.

@@kravmaga7070 You can estimate this. First you calculate a "pseudo-time" for the acid paste. The lab dissolution rate of granite at pH 1 is ~ 1*10^(-10) mol rock/m^2 second (and I am including a little added heat of reaction). A mol of granite is someplace around 80-100 grams. Pretend the rock surface is 1 square meter. A wet paste of AMD clay and crushed pyrite spread over the surface will dissolve (if I did the math right) 1*10^(-8) grams per second. To get any progress you need to dissolve at least a gram. So you will need 10^8 seconds which is about 3 years (pseudo-time). Coincidentally, this is about how fast scientists have said each rock could take to shape by hand alone (the larger ones). Using a "neutral wet paste", the pseudo-time is 30 years. So, it would speed them up about 10x. So, instead of 3 years (assuming that the estimated hand tooling time and "neutral paste" time are the same), it would take 0.3 years - or about 4 months for a larger stone. Some other interesting things. Molten gold looks like any other molten metal. But pyrite slurry looks like liquid gold. Dry crushed pyrite can be mistaken for bitumen in small amounts - it's black and smells like sulfur if it is fresh. Of course, its very heavy though. This process would be rather dangerous and the paste would have to be removed from the rock when finished. Without great skill - folks would get hurt. It would leave hematite (red) and black pyrite behind as a residue (Fe and S). It could also cause some toxic waste problems. The proof is in doing it - but there is some merit to this theory - unlike most of the others I have heard. Thing is, getting AMD clay is kinda hard. You can make it, but I'm not gonna be that guy.

All those questions are valid... but consider that if the above process is valid, the site wouldn't be inhabited while under construction. the historical account confirms a very large workforce working on this full time. I wish it included which construction site he observed this process was in use at and if that site was ever actually completed or inhabited. I'm also wondering if the historical account wasn't from observing Inca doing this to the walls of pre-Inca construction out of maintenance of the existing pre-Inca construction. because the smooth scorched fronts and smooth fit lines on only the exposed surface of the wall could indicate an example of decades or hundreds of years of acid washing the pre-Inca walls for aesthetic, sanitation, remove or prevent organic material like plants from building up on the walls, beautification (?) perhaps the acid wash also provided a temporary look/effect/appearance that the Inca liked(?)... etc I don't know but it's an extension to the described process up above. I'm going to see if I can make it through the paper itself and find out how much research was performed and confirmed with real-world testing... to the author and Anci-Arch credit, the investigation and research isn't complete on this but this paper provides a valid amount of in-depth theory, testing, and progress to justify that something be published about their findings up to this point. it will or has instigated or inspired more people to look into it further, but at where they are now instead of from scratch like it would have been without its publication.

This is an interesting and well thought out video. I would say a good step towards figuring out if this could work would be to toss a rock of this quartzite into a bucket full of the acid concentration and see what happens. Does it soften? Does it melt or dissolve? I'm not so sure this controlled softening could be done in practice, as the window of time would be very small that one would have to work the stone before the reaction was done. Also, if the acid was so potent as to fully melt the rock, would the rock not become completely irregular? And wouldn't it stick together like glue so that removing a rock would pull a chunk out of another? For sure I'm a sceptic, but I do think it has merit. Needs to be tried. Maybe try it with a more potent acid available today just to give it a go and go backwards from there? Once it's been figured out that it is possible, see if the acid composition of the slurry locally available could even work. It is pretty amazing, sometimes, how simple explanations and actual labor can solve a problem.

Forms had to of been used, the geo-polymer was mixed, a thin dissolvable material along with (now this acid mud) was placed between adjoining boulders, the polymer was poured, the forms were removed when it was still malleable, to round the edges and texture the surface. Now you're not moving impossible loads, but sacks of pulverized material and mixing on sight. It's how the great pyramid was built as well.

These volcanic rocks are formed in conditions of intense heat and pressure. I grasp how acidification could possibly soften a thin layer of rock that is in contact with the mud, but even if ample depth of softening were accomplished that would cause a state of dissolution of the rock material akin to accelerated weathering. What I can't envision is how the rock material reconstitutes itself without intense heat and pressure, that seems to violate the process of entropy. A solely chemical process seems unlikely though I agree a technique of dissolution and reconstitution to be the best explanation to this intriguing enigma!

A few ideas on how such rocks could be moved with reasonable man power: 1) "walk them" like legend suggested the large statues on Easter Island were moved, a method that has been demonstrated with only a couple dozen people and no extreme effort. 2) cut blocks all with a similar square cross-section (random length ok) and roll them on a wooden saw-tooth 'road' specifically designed for a given square size, if it's too much to build a miles long road of that sorts then they could roll say 10 or 20 at a time, pause to pick up the wood section behind and place in front and do it again. Heavy square blocks can be rolled quite easily if the saw tooth pattern is correct. 3) have you ever seen several men struggle with a heavy refirgerator and then see ONE man easily 'walk it' by tilting up on one edge and rocking-stepping it forward? 4) quarry them cylindrical enough to roll them on a hard packed surface and square them on site.

@@Mrbfgray Thanks, Bo. I also have read about one idea that, at least in Egypt, has worked. Use Archimedes' principle. That is, dig a canal, and make floaters around the blocks. In water such blocks are lighter due to their buoyancy, and the floaters could increase that so much, that they float. You could also use buoyancy to put them in place. That is, I think, how the pyramids were built. This method presupposes the availability of lots of water. That in itself shows that the pyramids were build at a time when there was a lot of water in Egypt. And that makes the pyramids much, much older than claimed by the archaeologists. I think that in the past the earth was tilted, and had a different equator. This is important, because the huge structures we see are aligned. They were probably all built within and before the last ice-age. Only around the equator there would be no ice, and plenty of water. That is why we see all of those anciend huge structures aligned along the old equator. It does not necessarily require a huge impact of a comet or something else for the axis of the earth to tilt in a different direction, because with so many planets around the movement of the earth around its axis is chaotic. So, from time to time the axis of the earth shifts all by its own. The moon in particular keeps this from happening very often. But it DOES sometimes, and very rarely happen. It follows from the laws of physics directly, as we know them now. In fact, there is one story in the Bible that corroborates this. It says something like that the stars and the sun stood still for 3 days.

They aren't molten, stone hammers leave behind physical marks that can be easily identifiable, that's why scholars are sure, unlike this ignorant. Is also the reason we can differentiate between pre- and post-conquest Inca-stile ashlar work, you see in instances ashlar architecture continued to be employed during the very very early colony of the central Andes region (the territory of the Inca Empire) but with the only difference they used hard metal tools (such as steel or iron) leaving behind very distinctive marks on the ashlar work, such is case in some walls of Chinchero, from afar indistinguishable but upon closer examination both pre- and post-conquest workers leave behind distinctive marks on their work.

Presented here is information that could form the basis of a working hypothesis. However, until it is tested, it pure speculation. So I suggest an experiment is carried out where 100, ten-tonne blocks are quarried, moved, assembled and finished using the tools postulated and the reactive agents suggested. Once this is done and replicated at a number of locations and by different teams, then you can begin to suggest that a working hypothesis has strong evidence to suggest this may have been the way theses structures were built.

no, the stones wouldn't be self-fitting just due to acid mud and gravity. mostly because if you put two stones on top of each other with acid paste in between, the stone to stone contact points will be attacked by the acid LESS than the surface areas where there is no stone to stone contact preventing acid contact. but you probably could use the acid mud to soften stones enough to make mechanical shaping significantly easier and dramatically reduce the wear on tools relative to the amount of material removed from the work object, and it may be possible to use acid mud in the wall assembly for final fitting by repeatedly rubbing the stones together with the mud in between over a period of some weeks, months, or however long. anything that cuts down on working time is welcome in megalithic construction.

Thirdly, a rocking motion would scrape the rock unevenly, making larger gaps instead of smaller ones. Four, any friction with a rocking motion would be ineffecient, and take huge amounts of time, and the process is supposed to cut the required time, not increase it. Lastly, rubbing large rocks together would leave marks on the stone, and if such marks would exist, we would not have a mystery in the first place as it would be very obvious what kind of motion was used.

Ribbitgoesthedog Lastnamehereyeah of course you can produce irregular shapes by rubbing, they would just be rounded. it's not like you would be moving the stones back and forth a long way, that could never produce a tight fit even if the acid plus rubbing did work for removing a reasonable amount of material. all I'm saying is that IF acid mud was used in the assembly of the walls to fine-fit the stones together, it WOULD have been combined with rubbing, because it makes way more sense for it to work that way than for the same procedure to work without rubbing. yes, you could produce rubbing motion with lever poles, and rocking motion WOULD be rubbing motion in a different plane. defined grooves would only show if the wooden poles were always inserted in the same spots, which could easily be avoided, and if the acid really was effective, the rubbing procedure wouldn't have needed to be done all that much anyways. it's not like I'm suggesting that it was used as the primary way to fit the stones - they were no doubt shaped mechanically with stone tools before stacking to an already nearly finished fit. to me, the most plausible use for acid mud in the whole process is not in the final assembly, but to aid the mechanical shaping of the stones before assembly by weakening the stone and making it easier to remove layers of stone with stone tools, because that part of the job is a huge pain in the ass particularly with the harder stone types the used.

And if its not used in the final assembly, it doesnt answer the original problem anymore.
