The fact that the megalithic builders followed the natural slopes, instead of leveling first, amazes me. The complexity involved in producing such tight, consistent jointry, while dealing with omnidirectional ground slope rises considerably. The techniques/technology used was remarkable!
They do remind me of Nature Built beauty that the Inca tried to recreate and not the imitation unsightly style of the Spanish with their concrete and geopolymers...
Brien at 6:34 you show a rebuilt wall, granite on bottom, basalt on top. What makes you believe the top basalt work is Inca? I would love a video specifically about high level Inca work vs low level work and approx suspected construction time between the two. I suspect the granite is oldest, basalt was next, then Inca polygonal, then Inca mortar then colonial work if I were to start study. I only ask because that basalt is dressed exactly like the granite, and if it was Inca doing that nice basalt dressing they had to have insight into how the granite was constructed. Awesome video, great clarity visually also.
It would be interesting to see a modern map of the city where only the megalithic walls are highlighted so we could see a rough shape of the ancient lay out
You might have four eras of construction there. That which you call basalt inca repair does not look like it could be done by the Inca when put in context with their other walls. Maybe that polygonal megalithic type walls were the original occupants of the area and after that came the more rectangular basalt people
It pleases me that the locals kept and built around the existing megalithic stonery thus preserving it. Though if no one had ever settled there that might've been slightly better. 99% of them probably don't give the megalithic work a second thought even though it is fantasitcal and from possibly tens of thousands of years ago.
The KNOBS on the stones are also evident in Egypt. As the evidence mounts, it enters the possibility of the stone being maleable (poured to hardened in place) leaving an occasional “knob” (from the forms used- for draining the excess poured mixture. That said, with the possibility of “knobs” (not visible) possible on the interior section of the blocks. Thank you
Those basalt blocks recycled into later stoneworks with mortar surrounding them... it's aesthetically disgusting! Can you imagine the original builders putting thick, crude, uneven layers of mortar between their precision-engineered blocks? Lol
I've been thinking about these nubs that jut out from the stones. This happens in global sites, I really believe that teh stones were struck on these points which created some sort of resonance so they could be moved easier. Remember old Egyptian folklore says that the blocks of the pyramids levitated into position. The use of staffs/sceptres to strike the blocks would have therefore happened. The mention of the staff used by moses for example or in assyrian reliefs the double ended trident which was some kind of weapon/power must have something to do with this. I think the megalithic builders used this to help with their building. It's something energy related. Let me know your thoughts or if you have any info on this. I'm trying to find out more
Wonderful little tour, Brien, thank you. Is the cobblestone street a more recent stone construction? Or has Spanish or Inca antecedents? Please keep well and Feliz Ano Nuevo amigo.
It seems like not much has changed in Construction since those Churches were built. We've added a bit more color but it doesn't compare with the Natural beauty of the Megalithic Builders...
Hello Brien! Your channel has changed my vision of the ancient world for good. I wonder if you have material about the "ancient bridge" between India and Sri Lanka.
@@brienfoerster thank you for all the work you do. you've really opened up my eyes and mind. speaking of that, I first saw you on Ancient Aliens and decided to search for you. So glad I did!
Something that puzzles me is with the tight fitting megalithic stone...what keeps them from shifting during say a major earthquake. Is it because being so tight fitting there is enough surface tension to create resistance to movement. Or could there be, knob top and bottom to fit like Lego's.
No, the knobs are as the feet of front part of a persons feet sticking out. . .Listen, all Megaliths if you look at them in as small a photo size as you can, have shapes of either people, or groups of people. . .There were all built by Jesus Christ, and the Angels and all are a Depiction of a historical event. . .Use thumbnail photos and take a look at Sacsayhuaman.
@@daveberry5901 Is that what Jesus was doing between being born, and then becoming a travelling teacher? He truly was a god, being a carpenter, and a stone mason... he also must have built a boat, or maybe a plane or rocket ship to get to Peru! Too bad he took all his advanced technology with him, and let his followers toil as dirty, illiterate goat herders for so long.
@@brienfoersternice! What area would you explore first , maybe you could start a go fund me and the local government there will let you be the head of the dig
@@steve-o6413 Well Brian is looking for alternative explanations for these precision blocks and lost technology. The simplest explanation I can think of is that they are cast against each other somehow.

Good point. The foundation for those walls had to be very solid also.
the foundational blocks on which the Great Pyramid sits conform to the bedrock below.
I'd love to have a house with megalithic foundation and megalithic walls.
Thanks for the variety of fascinating places & insight around what’s what and why- here & with every new post. Stay healthy!
I always have a good time walking the streets with Brien , someday I hope to do it in person. Love the content keep it up 🤘🏻😎👍🏼
Great tour of Peru
Our tour guide called it "sexy woman", as a way to remember it.. haha I will never forget.
Those darn knobs again. So perplexing.
thank you brien

Megalithic marvel WOW Blessings
Drink a lot of coca leaves tea, take altitude sickness meds if necessary and pace yourself. Beautiful, interesting city.
I did...fascinating place.
Thats amazing how they build right up to the megalithic walls... Its almost as if they did as their ancestors always did
It would be interesting to see a modern map of the city where only the megalithic walls are highlighted so we could see a rough shape of the ancient lay out
@@MrYournamehere4202 ... I have just posted a map of Cusco, (1800's) on Twitter. And it does appear to have some megalith walls highlighted.
@@ZiggyDan Is there a way I could see it without logging into twitter? I keep my social networking sites to a minimum :D
@@MrYournamehere4202 ... I will try to find the source.
@@MrYournamehere4202 .... I think it's from a book called, Peru, Incidents of Travel and Exploration in the Land of the Inca.
Fascinating, thank you...

Brien, have you ever seen the site of Tamoanchan in Mexico? The stonework there is megalithic and resembles that found in Peru.
New to me.
@@brienfoerster Megalithomania UK did a video on it and the walls in their video looked like those in Peru.
@@weekendmom thanks

I theorize that the knobs are to balance the stones

@@ZiggyDan great videos
Brien- if there is an earthquake do the megalithic blocks hold up to the shaking?
at 1:23 did he meant Spanish instead of Inca when his talking about shapping the basalt?

Those blocks look like concrete or geopolymer with a very consistent aggregate. Quite beautiful!
The only concrete or geopolymers used was by the Spanish, I find it quite unattractive, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
