Mysteries of the Past: Unveiling the American Stonehenge | Parable

This programme chronicles University of Pennsylvania researcher Alexei Vranich's expedition to prove his theory of how the American Stonehenge was created: that the stones were transported across Lake Titicaca on gigantic totora reed boats and then laboriously dragged another 10 kilometers to the city.

    I'm so proud of the Imara for completing this project with these researchers. It is great they are getting the recognition they deserve rather than aliens or giants. This shows how people can come together and for common goals.

    This is assuming they used a boat made of reeds to transport the immense weight that distance. Then there is the question of the technique they used for those minute detailed rock cuttings, grooves, holes, through solid granite and diorite, the smoothness of the surfaces,,and the stone blocks which seem ti be designed to interlock into each other. No modern theory will be enough to fully prove or disprove their abilities

    An entertaining documentary. But the biggest takeaway I get is how poorly planned it was in some places. It seems to be full of things like "we didn't think of this", "we didn't know that", "we didn't take that into account", "that surprised us" etc etc. Maybe you did all that crap to add to the "excitement" factor, but you all managed to give yourselves the usual "we are so brilliant" pat on the back at the end!!

    Yes but according to their stories there was a flood, prior the flood there was zero water and the Monoliths and giant stones were already there. If i am not wrong they were built before the flood. Edited part: viracocha was their god and he made them build everything, then the indigenous started to murder each other and Viracocha flooded the whole area to start again. This kayak experiment is interesting but maybe not sufficient

    problem six- trying to change people's misconceptions is not an archaeologists' job. getting to the truth is and the time it took to do this option means it is not cost effective for the ancients to do.

  • @xkissax1

    This experiment is great at showing peoples ingenuity. However, it took a whole community of people over 3 months to move a single stone that is by far not the largest compared to others. If whole community was working on this project in the past, who was feeding them? who was tending to their homestead? There is no consideration given to how the stones were carved to such precision. Archeologists refuse to listen to engineers. Modern engineers stare over and over that such precision is extremely difficult with modern machinery. Although i am not a stone mason, i am a metallurgist and production engineer, as such, i would loathe to reproduce some of the shapes, that would be close to impossible to complete by methods of material removal, with modern tools and in softer materials such as aluminum or brass. Take a penny and try to scrape a rock, see what happens. Igneous and metamorphic stones such as granite, and basalt, were… and still are used to sharpen hardened steel, there is no way you can shape such a hard medium, with metals as soft as copper. Even with steel that was available before industrial revolution, all you could do is chip stones, that is why you see very shallow inscriptions on otherwise perfect, mirror polished statues around the world. Leaders liked to associate themselves with the past, to have more legitimacy to rule. Last but not least, every ancient culture across the world claims that they inherited these sites. their myths state that beings, be it gods or giants built these sites. Archeologists are afraid to question their predecessors, they refuse to look at all the evidence at hand, and listen to experts in appropriate fields. I once asked my geology professor to look at a picture of the side of the sphinx, it was zoomed in to seem like side of a mountain, and asked him what kind of erosion it was, he told me that he should give me a failing grade just for asking, and then reassured me that its water erosion… when i showed him the full picture and he saw the sphinx, he was once again adamant that i should know that this is wind erosion… when i told him that the first picture was a section cropped from the full picture, and asked him again what type of erosion it was, he said its wind, even though he was ready to fail me for not knowing it was water just few seconds before. I pushed him further, and ultimately he was speechless, giving me some poor excuse on how he didn’t take a close enough look at the picture first time around. I do applaud these guys for taking the time to do such experiments, i hope more scientists do follow their examples. I just hope they keep an open mind and realize that we had multiple great civilizations, and almost had an industrial revolution back in roman times… I don’t believe aliens are the answer, but since modern men have been around for over a 100000 years, ask yourself if we came out of dark ages and reached our level of development in just over 1000 years, how many civilizations could have risen and fallen in the last 100000 years?

    If you didn't use wood for the boat because there are no trees at that altitude, how come you use branches of wood to roll the stone and branches to leverage the stone? Surely that's cheating?

    It's always makes me mad when people start saying things like giants and aliens made these. It's highly insulting to the people who worked so hard to create these great monuments throughout history. The assumption that people couldn't be brilliant and creative at any time before the Renaissance is simply ridiculous. The inherent racism in assuming that brown and black people couldn't do great things, without aliens to help them out, also aggravates me. Just because we can't always figure out how someone from the past did something doesn't mean aliens, it means that people are even more incredible than we give them credit for.

    You're obviously insanely ignorant If you think a stone age civilization on the top of a mountain could cut, quary, and polish 100 ton granite monoliths and transport them on a reed raft. Like this is an insult to anybody with half a brain to try and tell us some obvious bullshxt like this. They literally didn't have any tools even sharp enough to quary the stones. And don't get me started on the marshmallow cyclopic walls that are completely smooth, nonlinear, weigh tons and every single stone is a different shape but fits so perfectly it doesn't need mortar and you can't fit a piece of paper in it.
