The ancient wall at Saqsaywaman in Peru. It's several thousand years old, how did they build it?

[MarathonMike]

This is an interesting video showing how the 50 to 100 ton stones fit together so perfectly. There are thousands of these massive stones making up this ancient wall. How did they build it? Why did they build it?

The stonework of Sacsayhuamán was created by extremely skilled stonemasons and we can only wonder who they really were."

"We have nothing but a true mystery, which seems to be impossible to solve."

The problem with the stone mason theory is, those massive stones were harder than bronze which would have been the tool a stone mason of the time had available. It is truly mind boggling to look at how tightly those 50 ton stones fit together. No mortar and you couldn't slip a piece of paper in the joints!

Nobody knows who or how they were built.

It's almost like another more technological culture of the past ....(atlanteans?) help in the construction!

Exactly! They clearly knew something we don't know now.

Well, I differ with the video that it must have been "easy" or with heat. Clearly, it had to involve a LOT of manpower and time, thing is, they must have had a technique for estimating the fit of the stones then somehow abrading or wearing them in to fit each other--- mostly likely BEFORE they were put in their final place!

Where the problem comes in is with the WEIGHT. How do you fit such large and heavy stones together so perfectly without constantly moving them around, fitting, reworking, then fitting them again? Shades of Edward Leedskalnin.

But the result is sublime. With such massive stones with so perfect a fit interlocking together, not only is no mortar needed, but they built a structure that is literally able to last throughout time, until the rocks themselves literally crumble away.

I doubt even an earthquake could disturb the wall.

Atlanteans must have been Giants as well!!!

That is somewhat of an illusion. The stones are only fitted and shaped that well at the wall face, and are tapered going further back. From the back side of the wall the gaps are filled with stones, and earth. It's an interesting technique, and makes for a cool looking product.

So who showed them what to do and how to do it ?

Whom can we sensibly guess ?

Nobody indigenous to this planet .
And neither ourselves coming back via Time Travel ( actually an impossibility) .

Surely not that Enki and his fellow travellers .
So whom shall we put on the list , if it was not the Elohim/Anunnaki ?

At this point Sheeple start shouting and singing , with their hands clamped over their ears and eyes ( big hands ) .

The fact that the people themselves tell you about the Sky Gods is of course ignored -- legends , writings , paintings and carvings .

Come in Enki . We are waiting for number 361 from the Council . We call him Jesus but he is very unpunctual .

Precisely .

Nephilim were huge .
See any number of skeletons up to 12 feet tall and elongated skulls .

Cultural Appropriation

Since the Indigians originated as bandits harassing the Chinese, they stole the technology that was much later used to build the Great Wall against other Mongoloids.

Who originated the technology? Who stole the technology? What technology did they steal?

You take a rock. You make a flat surface on it.

You lay it on another rock with a flat surface.

And voila! You have a nice, tight fit.
