I find this very interesting:
www.anomolies-unlimited.com...
"Many of the huge stones and megaliths used to make temples and structures - stones so large that even
today we'd have no way to move them - were joined together with metal clamps.. It was thought the clamps
were brought to the structures where a hole was carved for them to be placed.
Recent scans using electron microscopes reveal a different story - the metal was poured, molten, into pre-
carved indentations - meaning a portable smelter was used which could move from section to section as
needed. Since the clamps often link two huge slabs or blocks of stone, you have to wonder - if it's a mystery
how 447 tonne stones were quarried, moved and put in place - how were two done? A much more advanced
level of technology than the "main stream" ever gave to Pre-Columbian man.
Very few of the clamps have survived but analysis of those from Pre-Columbian South America show them to
be made of a very unusual alloy - 2.05% arsenic, 95.15% copper, 0.26% iron, 0.84% silicon and 1.70%
nickel. There is no source nickel anywhere in Bolivia. Also the rare alloy of nickel-bronze-arsenic requires
extremely high temperatures The Puma Punku brackets holes, when analyzed, showed platinum, a metal
which only melts at 1753 C and aluminum, which supposedly wasn't discovered and produced in quantity
until the 19th century.
The most interesting fact is that these clamps were used all over the world. How did this technique and
the knowledge find it's way to Egypt, Pre-Columbian Peru and Cambodia, thousands of years and tens of
thousands of miles apart? What is the common thread, or who was the common teacher?"

Try this one mate, I think I spelled anomalies wrong in the original, however, looking at Brittany Speare's boobs may have been more that adequate compensation!
he brought up the linear thing and I thought you weren't speaking to me anymore. either way it's a very important aspect of this whole dynamic, you guys are way over your heads
I learned it at Oxford and taught it at MIT. just go away with this change of focus off topic tactic.
either way it's a very important aspect of this whole dynamic
you guys think in a linear fashion and if something isn't shoved up your noses on a silver platter after years and years of mainstream science towing the line nonsense then you fail to recognize the plausibility, possibility, probability and potential for practicability

More useful is to look at the archaeological record and see that circa 700 AD Tiwanaku of around five square kilometers which housed 10-20 thousand people. An interesting part of that city was the section called Mollo Kontu and its interconnected cluster of Qochas.
Another interesting aspect was their interest and ritual use of body modification, see linked to PDF

Thank you for your informative reply. It seems I shall learn something of value.

Religion and for that man has done much that appears crazy to an outside observer.
Why 3,000 cathedrals? Why hundreds of thousands of churchs, mosques and temples
i guess we know what they are for.
the other places, not so much.

I have read that some group tried to replicate the "H Blocks" and the "Grooved and Drilled" blocks using the instruments and tools that were available at that time and found it impossible. There was some suggestion that all the H Blocks at PumaPunku were found to be interchangeable as they were exactly identical which led the investigators to conclude that this could not be achieved by hand-tooling.
The thick plottens!
