The mystery of polygonal masonry in megalithic structures

The mystery of polygonal masonry in megalithic structures 1

While recent years have seen independent researchers hypothesize the methods behind the renowned polygonal masonry of South America’s megalithic structures, it is fair to acknowledge Maurice Cottrell from Ireland as one of the earliest to propose similar ideas. He discussed these in his book “The Lost Tomb of Viracocha: Unlocking the Secrets of the Peruvian Pyramids,” published in 1999.

Regarding the creation of polygonal masonry in ancient megalithic structures, which is attributed to the Incas, he writes the following:

In other Inca sites, such as Ollantaytambo and Tiahuanaco, it is still a mystery to historians and engineers why ancient stone blocks, some weighing over 10 tons, were often secured with copper strips or staples. The use of soft copper to bind together massive stones seems counterintuitive, as the stability and integrity of these structures have been proven to rely on the precise fitting of the stones rather than on the metal fastenings. Should this precision be compromised, the blocks would topple, and the copper staples would rip as effortlessly as paper.

Many researchers posit that copper staples were smelted directly on site and cast into grooves carved in stone, as microscopic marks on the staples resemble those on stone. However, if the metal had been poured in place, each staple’s surface would likely be slightly convex due to surface tension during casting. Moreover, a casting seam from a fissure between two stone blocks would be expected on the staples, yet no such seam exists. Examining one of the blocks closely reveals a discolored top layer, suggesting the stone’s surface “softened” and then solidified, creating a channel for the finished copper staple, accounting for the staples’ flat surfaces and absence of casting seams.

Expectations during the pouring process and the actual profiles of copper brackets challenge the notion of using casting staples in polygonal masonry.

“It is fascinating to consider how the pre-Inca and Inca masons might have processed their building blocks. They seemingly had a method to soften and mold stone, akin to our modern use of concrete, which transitions from liquid to solid. The Incas, however, may have advanced further, mastering the softening of igneous rocks. While this notion may seem far-fetched, it is theoretically a matter of altering the covalent bonds within the molecular structure, similar to how ice melts into water and water evaporates into steam. This could account for the precise stone laying in Tiahuanaco by the Incas and their predecessors. The rounded corners of the stones suggest they were once molded within perishable containers, which have since decayed and vanished.”

This serves as further evidence that in ancient times, particularly during the era of the “golden age,” people were knowledgeable about and utilized stone casting technologies. Such methods were employed to construct megalithic structures based on polygonal masonry. Similarly, various granite embankments, building elements, and statues of “Atlantes” and sphinxes from the 18th and early 19th centuries were produced for the “antediluvian civilization.”

Likewise, the same granite sphinxes and other pseudo-Egyptian statues were fabricated in Egypt by Franco-British impostors who concurrently crafted the narrative of “classical Ancient Egypt.” Using this technology, columns of numerous ancient edifices from the “golden age” civilization in Europe were also cast, including those of the Roman and Paris Pantheons, as well as St. Isaac’s and Kazan Cathedrals.

The official historical accounts of the construction of these buildings and structures are actually the fabrications of history forgers, many of whom were affiliated with Satanic Masonic lodges. Hence, they ascribed the creation of many ancient edifices and structures to the Freemasons associated with Satan.
