    Great work, Brien. What you often do in your videos is looking for differences in foundation works, and you very well understand how a construction process works; original work, recycling work, and completely own work. What you show is difference in size of blocks, and the higher finesse of older stone work. Here again, we see reconstruction work of more recent civilizations on top of older more advanced stone work. Mitla's foundation is oriented at an angle of +11 degrees (East of True North), and is oriented to one of the densest nodes, that of Pole II. Mitla shares a very dense node on Greenland with many other sites from all over the world. We have found so far 92 other ancient sites that are of the same time frame as Mitla. Our research indicates with a very high probability (99.6%) that Mitla is originally between 130,000 and 155,000 years old. It is originally so old that it is easy to understand why it is forgotten, lost in the mist of time.

    Brien, they used volcanic ash instead of fly ash used today in making their mortar and concrete. Basalt is lava that flowed and cooled over time, no? If they were savvy enough to use a volcano's bi product ash to make their mortar, it would be a small matter to take the next step. If they could put molds in place to capture the flowing lava itself, once cooled, they'd have whatever shape and size they desired. We see shallow flows of lava in Hawaii slowly inching across highways and down gentle slopes. It would be like having a free source of concrete in today's construction. A huge mix truck with concrete flowing down its chute. If you want 6" x 12" x 12" blocks, just provide the mold's. In their case, it wouldn't have to be a structure above ground, dig the ground and let it fill up. They could excavate hundreds of earthen molds ahead of a flow. I wish an archaeologist would try it to see.

    It would be nice to do what you suggest, but be realistic, it would be to costly and dangerous to do it yourself, so make up a material list and procedures needed to fulfill all you wish others to do for you. If you think you have a good idea think it though from start to finish. For a example what type of material would you use for the forms that would withstand the heat and how would you retrieve the Rock buried in molten lava, what good are forms buried in Rock anyway...

    @@steve-o6413pretty OSHA and MIOSH wasn't around when these sites went up. And not for me but they obviously did it for someone. My question is based on people being people no matter the time you live. Certain traits we share. Why not make use of basalt (lava) when its in its liquid, flowable state compared to the huge manpower "dangerous" task of traveling to a basalt outcroppng, hard and in tall column form, beating, hammering and chiseling. How hard would it be to put in place a rock barrier or hell, dig a trench and divert enough of the lava as needed. Earthen forms excavated into the ground in whatever shape's needed would fill up, cool, harden. Screed the excess off the top just like we do with concrete and raise em up. Like pieces pre made for a jig saw puzzle. We do it with steel and aluminum everyday at our foundries. No one in their right mind would take a 500 lb billet of steel, hammer and chisel and file, 500 wrenches out of it. No. You put your human noggin' to good use and use its liquid state flowing into molds.

    Thanks for all you do Brian .. you are speaking to a world wide classroom and will be influencing the thoughts of many after! I watched "Bright Insight" latest video about the evidence for a world wide civilization .. and enjoyed noting the similarities of building evidence around the world. "Nobs" protruding from stone in a variety of places. He didn't cover "core drill holes" .. or evidence of "large circular saws" or other cutting devices .. like that found at Petra. He noted the many places where trapezoidal doorways are found .. which take a high degree of mathematical understanding to create. As you take the watchers through the doorways in these ruins .. and look up at the lintel .. we see a fine level of craftsmanship. As an artist .. who works with stone, wood, steel, and other materials .. I think about all the time and frustration of trying to achieve that level of workmanship .. by "pounding stone against stone" or using "bronze or copper tools" .. and know too much time would be wasted using such methods. Truly this is ancient high technology .. and the simplicity and lack of frills on the surface is itself a statement to following generations .. of the high level of thought behind the work. The later cultures who came upon these ruins could offer no better example of creativity with the materials they had on hand. Could we imagine the Aztec, Paracas or others abandoning their fields of food to climb around on a large rough rock and pound on it .. endlessly .. to achieve one straight edge let alone many! This is why they would build with rough work .. to quickly achieve the goal of a building .. they did not have the superior tools to achieve the better quality. How does one approach the bedrock and begin the process of cutting out megalithic stones? Those who suggest some mystic idea .. should demonstrate the skill with productive enthusiasm .. lift these blocks from the bedrock and move them many miles to a building site. This is where their understanding will be enlightened. Here is the link to "Bright Insight"s latest video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIiYk8iLc6Tcgpc.html

    In 1990 I got to see the Dickson Mound open air exhibit before the state shut Dr Dickson's cutting edge amateur work down in April 1992. Google it... he excavated a whole Indian mound not far from Cahokia. But he only removed the dirt and did not disturb the bones at all he would leave them in their burial spots. I was 8 years old and I remember thinking how some of the skulls were WAY BIGGER than other skulls and made dad jokes about Andre The Giant skulls. It was scary actually as a kid seeing all that and all the talk in the media back then in Illinois. But that was when I fell in love with archeology and it changed my life. Google Dickson Mounds in Lewiston Illinois 1992 photos and exhibit shut down. Dr Dickson changed the life of many many people and was a cutting edge amateur archeologist he cut the ground work LITERALLY for people like Mr. Foerster Thank you HIT for everything you continue to do sincerely.

    Is it possible you are missing a detail of the construction? The “rough work” was likely covered with stucco and the rough surface would provide more suitable structural support for the stucco. Because it is fragile, the stucco is likely to be eroded away. Yagul has many preserved stucco surfaces which support the idea.

    At 8:32 you can see some of the rock broken off. They look like they're not solid beams. Probably smaller bricks stuck together, then coated with some sort of cement. You see it all the time in architecture. They never leave the bricks exposed.

    those holes inside the megalithic bricks in cusco, that run almost like conduits inside the walls , i wonder weather it was done for reinforcement or water cooling . Maybe large thick hemp ropes would fit inside to assist in earthquakes at the time , or maybe it was water channeling for distribution in the cities , or something , i doubt it would be to make the stones lighter.

    I think people forget that recycling wasn't invented by twentieth century environmentalists, our ancestors have been doing it since the dawn of time. If something was useful it got reused. A ready made foundation or a pre cut stone block would certainly be reused, I've reused construction materials myself. I've also used the seesaw method of lifting or lowering heavy equipment as you have described. Albeit using modern hydraulic jacks and wooden dunnage, but the principle is sound and if you put enough bodies behind a lever you'll lift it enough to inch it up slowly but surely.

    Hello Brien, in your Inca explorations have you seen the back and sides of the close fitting stones with the knobs on the front faces ?. Is there any evidence of the rock having flowed or having been trowelled. The precision of fit and shapes look as though the stone was liquified perhaps ?.

    Here once again we have evidence of a recycled site and materials. Another common factor is that the only parts of the older structures that appears left intact are close to the ground. This would suggest that at some point in time these structures were hit by some sort of cataclysmic event. Realistically the only way those megalithic structures could have been damaged in that manner would be from being hit with a shockwave of epic biblical proportions. One other thing in this video the stone appears to have a lot of potmarking in its surface. It really seems as if it was struck by lots of airborne debris travelling at high velocity.

This place has been so modified, that is does not speak to me like 99% of other sites do. I look for the Geometry, I count everything.
