What I think most of the regulars here at ATS appreciates is the quality of your work as well as the consistency of it. All hallmarks of a great researcher, the piece was well written and put together in a visually pleasing manner. People should be taking notes on how to present a topic from your example. Ok enough praise for one post on topic now.

I have always had the notion that at some point in our ancient past we possessed the technology to do marvelous things such as cut and shape massive megalithic structures. Not only do we see evidence of this in the ruins of the past but whether out of coincidence(which i highly doubt) or by intelligent design they seem to have a connection to astronomic phenomena and the movements of the stars. All this from supposed civilizations that were considered barbaric and archaic seems disjointed with logic. The level of detail on such a massive scale in my opinion would require patience and fortitude. Something a lesser mind would not possess.

All in all the truth is being kept from us either by bad science or by a conspiracy of silence to keep the people from the true history of man.

EPIC as always! I have read all of your threads and agree that the history of mankind needs to be re-written. I think that a lot of the stuff they try to say were devised by ancient aliens, was the work of ancient humans. I guess it is just hard to them to admit that humanity goes so far then blows itself back to the stone age and has to claw its way back up again, and again and again...

Agreed, there does seem to be a repeating pattern. In the other two upcoming threads I'll be discussing this angle in much more detail.

great thread. i noticed the large stones are worked in such a way as to appear artful, shaping the stone in purposefully irregular shapes, then fitting them together so that no gap exists, instead of the smaller stones on top that were selected and fit together with dirt and clay acting as a filler to compensate for their natural irregular shapes.

those massive stones with the perfectly square and straight cut outs are indicative of great craftsmanship skill and techniques.

something that bears further investigation is that if the incans came upon the already made ruins, and claimed to not know the builders, how did they aquire a legend of an underground city that exploded?

also, i don't see volcanic activity as the likely source of destruction. ash and lava leave very obvious traces. from the rubble scattered around and blown away from the original structures, but no large crater that would indicate a meteorite, i don't see a natural source for the destruction, and where are the bodies?

Goodie goodie Another great thread about my favourite part of the world!

Allow me to add a few more nice pics (although I had to resize them down quite dramatically)..

Here's a close up of one of the big stones up the top of Ollyantaytambo.



Another pic of some very large stones at the same site



Yours truly at sexy woman...



Back to Ollyantaytambo - what has me (and others I suspect) baffled is what the heck are the little stone parts that jut out. Were they originally small ledges or something or were they attached to something else?



More stone bits jutting out..



And lastly (for now)...just to make you think things are even more interesting...this is a closeup from a wall in Easter Island - the style is almost exactly the same as what I saw in Machu Picchu/Ollyantaytambo etc.



Enjoy!

Now

This is a mystery.
Many ancient sites around the world show these signs. I remember reading a large very detailed book once which had high quality images of the inside of the great pyramid the grand gallery to be exact and there too it showed and was mentioned that many locations within the gallery and elsewhere inside showed signs of what appeared to vitrification.

If the pyramids were sealed up for centuries and didn't have the amount of handling and traffic in ancient times to account for the smoothing of the stone from use and if these other sites such as the one outlined in this thread were buried then how does one account for it?

Yep I've seen those in person and I'd like to know what the bumps are for too.

Possibly, build to a certain point and either through human incompetence or greed end up destroying ourselves.

Another possibility is natural disasters; Pole shifts, massive comets etc. Could be what our illustrious "leaders" are planning for with the bunkers and food storage facilities they are building for themselves.

Much of our history seems to be made to comply with a predetermined story with some of the evidence of the truth being hidden or destroyed over the centuries.

Great thread and as always great information.

That is some pristine precision there for Sacsayhuamán, somebody did their homework. Very well indeed.

The circular structure on the top of Sacsayhuaman was clearly a reservoir at some point in the past or was flooded. It still has the overflow drainage channels clearly visible in your pic. that would not make a good observatory I guess..

Will

I saw that.
What should be kept in mind though is that originally that circular structure was actually the base of a tower once upon a time. It was dismantled by the Spanish in search of Gold. So, was that channel original or was it cut later?

Did it have the purpose you described before the tower was built back in prehistory?

What's amazing is the enormous carved stoned underneath the smaller stones.
As you pointed out, they look somewhat different, from another time almost.
I believe there most certainly was another civilization.

Many sites in South America appear to show various levels of construction as pointed out the older seems to be more advanced.

Just because scientists say we weren't very advanced back then...
...doesn't necessarily mean they were right, at all.
IMO...
These larger carved stones, found all over the world, prove them wrong.

If we don't ask we may never know. I'm still convinced there is more to be found along those now submerged ice age coast lines...

Excellent beginning to a series, Slayer.
I will be eagerly awaiting the next release.

I'll send you a headsup
