OLLANTAYAMBO (A stone masons commentary) Mike Haduck, road to Machu Picchu

- Ollantayambo is a archaeological site close to Machu Picchu, Peru. I give a stonemasons view and opinion on how to shape granite stone, and opinions on time space and matter.
Several methods of fabrication of the polygonal masonry using clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph are described in the article “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”. CZcams does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.
Hi, it's only stone, any quarry guy or Carver could replicate it, not a big deal, thanks Mike
утомил уже со своим спамом
The 8th article edition (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v8) is posted. Search the article by DOI or by title.
I know your wasting my time, but you got to send me a link, because I can't find what you want me to see, thanks mike
i see. discussion is fine but show me and remove the woooooo once and for all. because i see these things and all i can think of is WOOOOOO. replicate these structures please, without steel or the wheel.
also, what of the russian study that found 2% more silicates in the finished polygonal stones when compared to the quarry stones? could this possibly be geopolymer, that is a concrete accretion of granite which recrystalizes into solid granite. the slump would take care of the fifteen sided cuts and impossible curvatures, the slump could also have been sloughed off when dressing the stones to eliminate any evidence of it every being doughlike. who knows perhaps they ran electricity through it to recrystalize the granite.
the 2% extra sylicate the finished stones contain must be explained. there is a paper out there peer reviewed i think. if you look you will find it.
"Don't cha know you need aliens to help ya?"
That cracked me right up lol
Thanks Kyler, mike
☑️ Darn right! It's silly to think that aliens helped build these walls! Unless they brought special stone-cutting lasers with them....... Well, there you go, I've convinced myself that it WAS aliens who formed these stones! 😁

Conspiracy theories completely disproven with a little free masonry !
Speaking as a GC that survived a liberal arts degree in art history with a focus on gothic cathedrals, this work you are doing, is perhaps the most important you have undertaken for instructing over educated hacks that think books know more than callouses.
Hi Matt, I appreciate hearing that from a pro, Thanks, mike
Especially the lesson on space and time. We could live forever if not for the darn Sun and Moon
Hey Mike - great video. Thanks for the granite demonstration. I think these videos are very well made, and your narrative is on point.
Thanks Jake I appreciate that, Mike
The ending commentary was epic. Thanks Mike. Love your stuff. Keep it up.
Thanks Wayward, mike
Absolutely love this Mike!!! I always said, "what else did they have to do all day?" They had nothing but time to make things perfect and they believed in whatever they were doing and wanted to make it perfect. Obviously whomever did most of this work around the world truly had their heart and soul in to it, it shows from their craftsmanship. I think I was married to an alien once...
Thanks Steven, I appreciate it, mike

Before you two go around patting yourselves on the back for your half baked and incomprehensive ideas read my comment made 1 hr ago! Or are you so into yourselves that you know it all????
Hi @@15past2 take a trip to the coral castle in Florida, when I was there they are telling me about anto gravety, and all this crazy stuff and then a few years back they find the film of him actually moving these 16 ton stones himself, it’s not a big deal to see the simplicity when you actually work in the trades, with respect, mike
@@MikeHaduck
Mike the coral castle stones are microscopic compared to these stones in Baalbek and are not that accurately placed.
I am not a scientist because I can't work out how to move a 16 ton stone. That is easily accomplished. Try something 100 times larger. The material you can use on a 16 ton stone does not come close to work on a 1600 ton stone.
Again why pile a 1750 ton stone on top of another similar one in a quarry where it is expected to be moved shortly and how?
At some point, you need to say that there is something here unexplained.
There is lots of stuff on the Internet of old ways of moving stone, I would ask them, no need for me to prove it, thanks, mike
This is an excellent video. Always love your videos Mike. Cheers bud.
Thanks Rocco, cheers also, mike
Your commentary is really intresting and, with your professional credentials , well informed. I like your plain spoken technical comments, they make a lot more sense than the numerous archeological narrations of these sites.Good video, thanks.
Thanks Peter, mike
I love all your field trip and historical videos exploring masonry. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Unbelted, mike

Awesome Mike. Thanks for sharing your adventures of travel with us. I'm still learning from You, your a great teacher !
Kenna from Canada
Thanks Kenna, Mike
Thank you Mike, it's great to get a hands-on perspective from someone like you who has spent decades doing masonry with a wide variety of techniques and tools, both old-world as well as modern. I believe there is a great unknown gap in the way which we understand historical technology that is evident in sites around the globe such as Giza, Baalbek, Karnak, Puma Punku and others, by how such massive stones were quarried, others cut with such precision, and transported and arranged in a manner which is seemingly logistically impossible, at least with the technology available that we believe was used at the time that we believe these sites were built.
Thanks WCSD, I appreciate it, mike
Nice video mike, I really enjoyed your talk at the end.
Thanks Knucklehead, I appreciate it, mike
Que espectacular!! Gracias Mike
Thanks Ana, mike
thanks for the demonstration and professional knowledge.
thanks holdmybeer, mike
Excellent video mike...cheers
Thanks giggity, mike
Love the way you do your video. I like the beating rock on rock.It worked.
In Machu Picchu they started building terraces on the bottom of the mountain so it wouldn't slide down, and then cut there way back to reach the top. The terraces prevented the slopes from eroding. THEN they built the city. I've been there and many pl;aces. Hard work, brilliant engineering NOT Martins. Thank you.
Thanks user, Mike
I like watching your videos, this one was the most entertaining yet for me.
Thanks peter, Mike
Great video. Thanks
Another great explanation, thanks Mike.

"Water and sand, water and sand..." A hundred years later, "Grandpa got a good start, why are we doing this, again!?"
Hi Vincent, I dont know?, mike
I was right there, 10 years ago. The Sacred Valley is appropriately named, so beautiful and enclosing, you feel safe and at peace. I'd go back in a second. These videos bring up the memories, the whole lovely adventure. It's a pleasure seeing it all over again. I'm glad you got to see it too, Mike. As for physics/theology stuff: give it time, give it space, in the end it doesn't matter. :) Just enjoy.
Thanks Judy, I appreciate that, Mike
Nice video Mike!
Thanks Mando, Mike
"Ain't no big deal"! High falutin! Thank you Mike - We say that in the deep California rural areas below the Sierra mountains and foothills of the Central San Joaquin Valley. "Ain't no big deal" ! My mason buddies would say the same! No biggie. It's called hard work! Keep up the great work.
Thanks energyexecs,,, Mike
Thank you for such a down to Earth logical expression of your understanding such simple basics .....your video coupled with two other CZcams videos on massive stone movements being achieved with blocks of wood and smaller peble shaped stones and rock plitting techniques using a few strategically placed chisels certainly is food for thought in any ones brain .....but their will always be people who chase The Fairies ...look for the complicated and exotic...but a blind to the simple path
Thanks for spending your time in sharing this knowledge .
Thanks Ron, I appreciate it, Mike
So good listening to you, thank you.
Thanks Robert, Mike
Thanks for the video and sense of humor.
Thanks Steve, mike
Very informative, with humor. You explained well how the stones could be relentlessly worked. More mysterious to me are the methods of the other contractors, the quarrymen and the movers. They excavated and delivered heavy ass loads of gargantuan jigsaw puzzle pieces up and around very steep slopes. The man-hours are terrifying.
Hi Uncle Bob, I agree, thanks, Mike
I guess the Eygptians (and others) had hundreds of thousands of slaves whose only purpose in life was building fancy tombstones for the @sshole Pharoh of the time!
Thanks for the adventure. I wish I had some intergalactic aliens to help me for a few weeks. I'll be hammering stones in my nightmares
Hi Greg, I agree, lol, mike
Thank you Mike for all your videos. You've taught me so much! Keep the spirit of Pennsylvania alive!!!

Awesome job Mike. Got me thinking. 😊
Thanks Martin, Mike
LOL!! love it!! very interesting video! and I agree... they didn't have the tools we have now so they worked with what they had. It may have taken longer but it eventually got the job done. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Sue, mike
Hi Mike, Great video! I love the simple explanation of these fantastic sites. I do like to watch any video's of ancient sites as I find the stone work fascinating especially the so called "polygonal" walls. I have never felt comfortable with the Alien's, fairy dust or sonic screwdriver explanations. I think some folks look for the most unlikely solution for the hard to explain. They cannot see that this was just skilled craftsmen with a problem to solve and a job to do.
Its a shame though that stone work is difficult to date it would be great to know just have far back in history some of these sites go.
Thanks Ybe, I agree, mike
i am so glad i watched until the end. Made my day. Where can i sign up for the class action suit?
Thanks Steve, lol, Mike
Another great video! Thanks for sharing. Now I'm gonna bash some rocks together and get some practice.
Thanks Mike,lots of naysayers out there, they don’t want to see it work. Lol, mike
@@MikeHaduck I WANT to see it work. But shame, even you can't make it work.
Mr Haduck has single handedly uprooted established theories of how all of these structures were built .
Hi crazy, check out my videos, carving stones with ancient technology, part 1&2 thanks Mike
i loved you for your masonry videos, i jad no idea youv visited all legendary arcitecture spots.
Thanks , I been around, lol, mike
Great Video Mike! I love the comments!
Thanks Joe, mike
Sir, been to Machu Picchu first time in 1973 and again in 2006. Incas did practice " engineering" . Mr Kenneth Wright wrote a great book title...Machu Picchu: A Civil Engineering Marvel. The hydraulic aspect is missed by most tourists. I like your take and comments. I too practiced a trade for 36 years. As tradesmen we look at things in a more practical way. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks Tomas, mike
LOVE THE HUMOR!
Thanks George, Mike
Good show Mike
Those funny looking sheep are the
Protectors. Regular sheep are so thankful when those guys are around
Thanks Dominic, I know now, lol. , mike
The extraordinary mystery at the Serapeum at Saqqara with those granite boxes. Mike would you imagine it would be possible to make one of those from one piece?
As, it has been said that we can not.
As you may know there are 2 dozen of them & made out of one piece weighing nearly 100 tons w smooth inside cornering!
I hope to find a answer.
Cheers!
Your videos are great.
Thanks Rudy, I haven’t seen anything that can’t be done with stone if you got the man power and time, mike
nice video :D those funny looking sheep are used as pack animals and raised for their hair as well...llama. maybe they helped cart tools and such huh? lots of fun as always keep up the good work :D
Thanks BuffBabe, I knew something was odd about them, lol. , mike
Good video mike .
Thanks bric, mike
Mike, great to see someone apply common sense and work to these structures. Given enough time and trial-and-error, problems get solved. Still, though, there are those saw cuts... Maybe they solved that also. I watched a video where this regular hard working guy using his electrical and mechanical knowledge completely solved the Choral Castle construction. Keep going, very interesting and entertaining.
Thanks big, I appreciate it, mike
@@MikeHaduck Cool, my handle came about because I posted videos of my smart parrot Bogie. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Cool!!!

Hi Mike, Thanks again for a very interesting video. I cut and polish gemstones. One thing I noticed when polishing Amethyst. That it polished faster if you have micro particles of Amethyst imbedded in the tin disc. In other words like polishes like. If you take a woven mat and saturate it with rock flour, it will cut, polish, and round the edges. The same applies to animal skins. The Chinese used soft copper/bronze wire to cut through rock. The wire was pulled back and forth with rock flour, and water. It would be very interesting to try this out. Jade carving is very old and lots of the technics that would work with larger stones. Kind regards and greetings from Africa.
Utter nonsense!!!!
You need the polishing agents of today to have a smooth surface. They had no known or noted method of segregating or screening the polishing agents. How would you get the perfectly square edges?
The Chinese carved a very soft stone called Jade not granite which is considerably harder and would not be even slightly scratched by copper. How would you get the perfectly straight edges on the underneath of the rock in some cases the size of a large building
Read my comment made an hour ago.
Thanks David, I heard that about the wire before,as a gem cutter you know about rocks better than me, I appreciate hearing that from a professional, thanks you, mike
You have a reply!
Thanks Mike, and I have replied to 12past2.

The reason I watch your channel is because i am building a house; my fifth. This one is a cordwood house.
I have mixed three skids of Portland(with sand and lime) so far or about 350 machine mixes on this one house. I have tested different amounts of lime and sawdust and straight cement and sand in different areas and have come to a conclusion to what is best for my area. I have built 100's of feet of stone retaining walls with my father before he passed away 18 years ago and learned the old world methods of using stone. He took me to Belgium and the other places before he passed away and showed me his work, his roads, his walls etc... and explained in detail everything about building with stone. It isn't just piling up a bunch of rocks and calling it a retaining wall or building. There is much tech to laying and positioning and shaping stones.
I watch your channel for hints or things that i may have missed or anything interesting.
What I am trying to say here is I am not an Ivory tower scientists. I am long ago retired and much older than you. I have a backhoe and bobcat and sawmill to help. Everything is done by hand!
Went there in 2018. Fantastic place. Cusco, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu.
Thanks, yep, a great trip, Mike
"It's a hate crime!" Hahaha Your a hoot, Mike. Take care always. Thank you for all your lessons. I am now confident and knowledgeable to give things a try. Your a diamond.
Thanks Yew, I appreciate it, mike
interesting theories, I have been to all the major ruins around the Sacred Valley so I apreciate them
Thanks, Mike
Ive learned so much from your videos. Im a mason as well. Ive visited most of the ancient sites in Peru. Although I agree that stone can be shaped with other stone I think theres a huge piece of this puzzle (no pun intended) that isnt adressed; SCRIBING. In order to fit irregular/organic megaliths together would require constant and continual moving of the stones back and forth, slowly chiseling a bit away then fitting, a bit more, then fitting, etc. Without the use of a computer system or sheer mathematical clairvoyance the amount of times these megaliths would have to be moved back and forth simply in the shaping process alone would make the question of 'how did they even get these stones to this site?' seem like a trite consideration in contrast. Sites like Sasquwaman really exemplify the seeming impossibility of 'sympathizing' these mamoth stones together, by hand, and so exquisitely at that. Love watching all of your videos...look forward to seeing more!
thanks Ramsey,, mike
i love your reasoning!
Thanks Kokomo, mike
Mike,I have a cobblestone porch with concrete sills,the concrete sills are almost 100 years old and have become permeable and I believe letting water seep in,hom do I fix this issue ,thanks,love your channel !

@@MikeHaduck It's very good. You might be in the wrong business.
Mike, I love you ❤️
That’s all I want to comment today 😄.
Thanks, you too, mike
Mike Haduck A word of advise. Your information on stone working is very informative. Such a good job explaining and demonstrating. Stick to what you know. Your conversation of scientists, Einstein, theology, and time is confused. Most scientist refute intelligent design. Intelligent design has been proposed by some theologians. Than there is Einstein's theory of spacetime as the 4th dimension. Having been down this rabbit hole many times I still struggle to understand it. I can tell you it is not what you think it is though. This advice is based on the concept of Dunning Kruger effect.
Hi Paul, I guess you can say it is a side interest of mine ,on my web page I got a bible commentary called creation, thanks mike
mikehaduck.com/creation/ here is the link, let me know what you think,
Your videos are excellent! ... Thank you so much! ... you said that you will talk about the cattaclism that dispersed those megalithic stones in Ollantaytambo at the end of the clip but you didn't ... Peruvian author and mysticist Daniel Ruzo (1900-1990) said a great disaster happened 9,000 years ago and that the megalithic structures in Ollantaytambo were proof of that ... So those structures were built by another civilization, never by the Incas ... The small megalithic wall at the top, which is made with six big stones whose weight may reach up to 80-90 tons (the bigger one) acording to Ruzo, was part of a planed temple that was not finished due to that cattaclism or maybe was finished but destroyed in that event ... On one of those stones you can find the "scalonated sign", a symbol from that civilization ...
Hi Jorge, I can't say what happened or when, but I haven't seen anything that can't be duplicated today, i appreciate it, Mike
Playing around with stone on my property, I have realized some of what you have said. Any thoughts on how they would move them?
Hi Ed, lots of examples on youtube, I will address it on my next video on peru. thanks mike
Excellent Mike. Some pretty interesting comments on this thread. We will be looking for the links for the merch soon. Daughter says I've pretty much hit rock bottom 'cause I like working with stone. I'll just let her look for the links herself for that snarky comment. Maybe she'll enjoy your videos if I make her peruse your site. Ya know, you could have chosen the easier path becoming an attorney. A mason is a much more noble profession. Smart choice.

Thanks old man, Mike
Can you please show us how to horizontally separate and split the granite from bedrock ? That seems harder than splitting it vertically with drilling, or is it? Even with iron tools , from there I want to set my mind on how to achieve it without iron tools. Also what are your thoughts on those scallop (as they get referred to) workongs on the great unfinished obelisk of Aswan?Thanks Mike love your work
Hi Lance, when I was at the obelisk, they had a sample of dolrite there that crushes granite, lots of time and manpower , but they had the wheel I can't see why then didn't fashion a primitive saw, just look at the siege machines the ancients put together, the more things change the more they stay the same. Thanks Mike
@@MikeHaduck Hi Mike my dad the geologist suggested exactly that straight off the bat as a means for shaping the already quarried granite blocks( dolorite hammers as you suggest), but again we are now talking about how to split granite blocks (quarry) them from the bedrock in the first place. Are you suggesting a saw fabricated of dolorite? I happen to be a construction estimator so I can do some feasibility on it, please let me know this is a hot topic
Hi Lance, one of these months or maybe years I plan to visit the granite quarries up in Vermont, although I worked with a lot of granite and it is mostly predictable, I would like to check out some things for myself, thanks mike
@@MikeHaduck awesome cant wait, thanks Mike, and have a happy new year! You should sell Tshirts with " it's no big deal" love your attitude!😀
These videos are outstanding. Watching them all! Love the commentary on the megalithics.
Thanks, mike
If they didn't have hard metals like bronze or iron then how do you suppose they made the saws? To me the mark look like it came from a string saw sort of thing (8:50 the marks at the bottom looks like it broke or they ran into trouble and they pulled it through), is that feasible? Maybe copper impregnated with crushed granite?
Hi unbelted
I have seen a demonstration with those string saws or wire saws on a old video but can’t remember where, thanks, mike
Took half hour to remove a piece the size of my thumb. So how many people and how long to cut and shape one of those megalithic size stones with that method?
Hi pa, send the money for the workers and we will find out, thanks, mike
So how do you move stone blocks that weigh 800 - 1000 tons? how do you stand a 1000 ton stone columb on end?
Graeme, I am not a mover but there are lots of things on the Internet how the ancients did it, thanks, mike
Thank you for such an informative video, and sharing you knowledge with us 🙏 I wish there were more channels like yours.
I don’t think I agree about Brian Foerster though. No one disagrees about saw marks or drill holes, but Foerster argues against them being stone and copper tools. Telling his audience that limestone and granite are impossible to work with such tools, and they must of been technologically advanced saws and drills. I also don’t think that he is mistaken, I think he knows what he’s saying isn’t true but he makes a living selling bs. Just my two pence.
Hi, he's not a stone mason, mostly an observer, I agree, Mike
I am so happy to hear from someone who doesn't think everything was done by aliens. I am wondering, though, if you have any theories about how they moved 100 plus ton stones especially those at Balback? I suspect that those knobs are points for attachment of some kind of rope and they used a variation of a wooden siege engine.
Hi wayneisan, I will eventually get to some more videos on Peru when I get time, but already you are thinking like me, thanks, mike
Classic mike absolutely classic
Thanks Darren, mike
Good vid, the bigger mystery is how they moved 70 ton rocks up a mountain and positioned them
Hi René, I will be addressing that on the next video of Peru, there is lots of stuff on the Internet with one person moving tons of stone, thanks, Mike
They most likely used the very long ramp that leads up to where the rocks were positioned. The ramp can easily be seen in photos from the site. Some folks who do videos on the site seem to intentionally leave the ramp out of their video and photos to make it more mysterious than it is.
I’ve watched most of your videos Mike and I think you nailed it. No big deal right, just takes a lot of time to get them to fit properly. If I ever abducted by aliens I’ll see if I can find out if they had anything to do with moving all those big stones.
Thanks Marauder, I agree, lol, Mike
Great
Thanks hrxy1. Mike
Hi mike , "I love the hate crime against humanity" , to be honest when you see Egypt and see the tools in the museum , the old skills lost is a shame as they knew how to harden copper pitching tools and chisels for working limestone which when quarried is like soap stone , but carbonates and becomes harder with the environment , some stone looks cast insitu in a composition , but granite cut obelisks cut instu in ground ,then prized out ready to be delivered to site is a total mystery as we don't have a crane that could lift one?." >>> we need a time machine to combat hate crime against humanity to no for sure how it was made.

Hi George, I don’t know much about that but necessity is the mother of invention, thanks mike
A man from the geopolmer institute said he did some testing and some stones down there had a coating of a natural geopolmer like natural mortar that coated the stone but if you chipped it off you could see a clear difference in the structure of the stone between the outside and inside.

I think a inside corner. With nothing but another rock would be a great video.
Hi pa , I will wait for your contributions, thanks, mike
The Peruvian site's are fairly simple, moving the quarried Stone is my question there. Go go to India however and you may change your tune, Sites like Kailasa Temple and hundreds of others seem beyond our abilities Today with their mind blowing Carving skills.
hi lance, man always have a way figuring things out if you give him the time, thanks mike
How do you lift all the big stones into place? Facing stones is easy. They used crane to lift four thousand years ago?
No big deal , thanks mike
They didnt have the wheel, but did they have round pillars? Stones have saw marks and bore holes, what do you think they used as tools? Whats missing is a latheing tool, like in the middle eastern, all 3 is present.
Hi Mie, I have a video called carving stone with ancient technology, Mike haduck ,and in my kafare,,Egypt I show how they moved them making their own wheel, thanks Mike
Mike i love your videos. I agree with you on everything you say on the stonework. But i believe TIME is the one constant in the universe. It marches on no matter what. Even with no sun or moon with which to guage it by , it still goes on. I also believe time and size are relative but even still it moves forward. Even without à clock things still age. But im just a simple man with simple theories. Again i enjoy your videos. And i thank you for the time spent making them.
Thanks Matt, Mike
So the protrusions on one side of some of the stones but not all including some of the largest and heaviest were for lifting the stones and they were not removed for some unknown reason?
I know from working in quarries and on the job we would leave notches for moving, some walls they left them there , nobody cared, and if they want to move them again they could, thanks mike

Thanks John, mike
Lol, great video.. You need a little alien to pop up in the background.
ThanksJohn, you are right, lol , mike
I've watched a lot of Graham Hancock and other people that bring alternative hypothesis to the table, some of it is interesting. There is one thing I find that doesn't make sense (to me), is the huge black granite tomb inside one of the pyramids. I'm guessing it was cut from one piece and hollowed out at a very high quality, but then you look at the inscription markings on it and they're very sloppy, basic lines carved or drawn on it aren't even close to being straight, which suggests these were done by different people at different times?
Hi Nanology, could very well be, I been there, thanks, Mike
