The True Purpose of Megalith Stone Nubs 

One of the things that is puzzling is why the builders would put so much effort to make the stones fit absolutely perfectly but then not bother to clean up those nubs which were only needed for construction. I would expect to see them only in quarries, unfinished walls and stone faces that are not visible. Not on a few random stones of a wall.

It’s as good as any of the other hypotheses, but it doesn’t explain: 1. Why only some blocks have nubs. 2. Why some have a single nub while others have two or three. 3. Why the nubs are located at different points on the faces of the stones. Or 4. Why the nubs are different sizes and shapes or sometimes even, inverted. I don’t think you’ve quite cracked the code, but I like that it’s a new idea. Good thinking.

_You've lost that nubbin' feeling_

The nubs are handles for Bigfoot to grab and build the wall. He learned masonry from the aliens.

Geometric shapes are reproducible, but all these stones are irregular, and none are reproducible. Taking it a step further, the unknown method used completely disappeared. And finally, if there was a rig, why remake it every single time? So, I disagree.

It's an interesting idea but drilling a couple of holes into the block would be a thousand times easier than cutting down the whole block to leave a nub.

As a retired former stone mason, I congratulate you on a good, solid, workable idea. Similar in method to a "pixie stick" which transfers particular points from a model to a stone, a method still in use today.

Brilliant hypothesis, Dan. Whether people agree with it or not, they must admit that your idea is very well supported. I love your content, keep up the great work!

I finshed stonemasons school in the 80's, and we used three-legged pointing machine for making stone sculpture. At first they were just three little holes on the rough block, where the legs of the machine was placed. Later when all the stone around was cut off, these three knobs remained there, on the sculpture. Then cut them off to finish.

Recently I went to a museum for an indian mound complex called Kolomoki mounds in Georgia, USA. While looking at a clay effigy of a Coot (local aquatic bird) it was labeled as a duck. I bring this up because in my love of obscure history and having been intrigued by these rock "nubs" for some time, the simple mistakes we make interpretating things left behind from padt civilizations is astonishing. I'm more curious about the similar stone working techniques used that leave these little nubs on mega blocks from central america, Peru, Easter Island, Japan, Micronesia, India, Egypt, Greece, and many more. At the very least, the masonry tools and techniques used and likely the masons themselves, we're well traveled and crossed the entire world and thousands of years. Oddly, non of these civilizations considered these techniques significant enough to record it in the stone or otherwise. If only they had!

In printing we call them registration marks, in animation they are the holes at the top of the paper. You make a strong case and explain it well. cheers.

What's even more curious than the nubs is why so many people use their bookcase as a backdrop for their videos.

Usually the simplest answer is the right one and I don't think we're quite there yet, but this is definitely a viable explanation. I believe they had an easy way of doing this and that the weird angles and shapes they chose were not a coincidence

These nubs are the last part left in the process of undercutting the stone as it's being quarried. Men undercut the stone at the quarry and when all that was remaining were two small pillars holding the stone. At that point, a sled is positioned under the stone and the stones were broken at the pillars leaving the nubs. So obvious.

I'm a life long stone Mason,and it's easy to make tight joints. It just takes time. Lifting them is the most difficult part of this.

Thanks for this. It’s the Victorian era and hubris that makes present day scholars think ancient people were any less resourceful and inventive than our present day society. We really have a lot to learn lol!

So they go through all that work to be extremely precise and leave the nubs? Sorry this one doesnt hold up imo for a few reasons.

I work part time installing concrete countertops. Despite having laser measures etc., we glue wood slats together to make a wooden framework to take back to the shop and build off of. It is very accurate and closely resembles the proposed hypothesis( i just think the nubs are not critical for success in this method).

If they were cutting the stones out of a rock face they would have easy access to three sides. The underneath would need to be carved out without the stone falling on the chisels etc. The way to stop that happening was to leave a support column, whilst chiselling around it. When all of the other rock was removed, they could slip a rope around the rock, and chisel the nub until the rock broke free. Some nubs were chiselled off, others were left in place.

Brilliantly thought out, bit seems a bit strange to then not dress the nubs out on the finished stone

I just watched a video of a guy moving these huge slabs of concrete, weighing more than 2, 3 tons. His method consisted of placing small stones under the blocks and using them as pivot points. Maybe those bumps served a similar purpose, they helped move the huge stones somehow.

I worked for a steel manufacturing company years ago, and we were presented with cutting and welding a squashed corrugated conduit at a weird angle, {this was before lasers, so I am dating myself, LOL!} and the conduit was big enough to drive a large pickup truck through. A challenge was presented to the 200 employees as to how this could be done, the conduit was very expensive and they could not afford to make a mistake. I suggested using a framework like you have described here, and when it was cut, all the corrugations lined up and were rewelded perfectly. It was a very large framework which had to be shored up to be very rigid, and a corresponding frame for both sides of the seam. Since it seems that the test of these joints was that you could not slide a piece of paper or a razer blade into the joint, I guess it would pass the test!

They used scribes. The scribes consisted of a shaped stick and a plumb bob, that were found in graves. The nubs could have been referencing points or anchor points for levers to move the stone the final small distance to place it

dude, a lot of these stones are HUGE! and your explanation doesn't account for how crude bronze tools could precisely cut these stones, or even getting the stones into place perfectly. crazy how a lot of these comments think this is a well supported theory.

Half baked bull scat. The whole point of the device described is to duplicate a stone. You never see duplicated stones at megalithic sites, that's one of the impressive attributes of these walls.

I think your idea may fit in with an idea of mine regarding how the precision joins of irregularly shaped blocks came into play. My idea was that they preplanned an entire wall or wall section, they levelled an area of ground the size of the wall and lay out the stones face down on this area. They used scribes between the stones to meticulously match surface to surface, and would build the wall with them as they finished a row pair. It occurred to me that the nubs may be there to boost a side of such a face-down stone to make it fit the face angle more desirably, but judging by the finished wall face, this didn't sit well (no pun intended). This video made me think that the nubs may have been to solidly anchor a focal point into the ground (set of blocks that the scribers would want to stay perfectly still) while they scribed blocks around them. That might explain why not every block needed them- maybe just those in a certain area. It's quite a puzzle, though, as the nubs have an array of shapes and sizes. Will start viewing walls with that hypothesis in mind.

In my view, there is a great deal of missing information and all we can do is speculate. The big question in my mind is... Why go to the trouble? I recently built an 18' x 8' pond using natural rocks of various shapes and sizes. I placed the rocks so they interlocked without cutting them. The end result looks very nice but I can't imagine the time it would have taken to make the pond rocks fit nearly perfectly. I also didn't use any rocks in the pond that roughly weighed over 90 pounds.

Unsure if you've been to Cusco. In the neighborhood of Sacsayhuaman I came across giant river boulders with perfectly smooth scoops taken out of them, with these nubs (or the indentation of them) in place already. The scoops are the size of sofas and appear to be mirror images of blocks making up both Sacsayhuaman and some of Cusco's famed walls. None of this invalidates your theory but we seem to be looking at advanced technology.

I see really ancient alien artifacts on your right side. It's called Nintendo games.

This is fucking genious

If they partially melted the stones the crystalline structure would have flow lines like show up fairly often in basalts where the lava flowed like a river.

As a profesional rigger, I see the nubs as a way to keep ropes from slipping when lowering in place. I would use an A frame type crane with block and tackle.

Sorry dude, not buying it. I get your idea, but just a bridge too far. Each block is different and the joints incorporate full-depth 3-D curved planes that mirror and mate up. On top of that, they’re granite, supposedly shaped with copper tools and granite balls. Something’s missing.

If moulds and geopolymers why is there no uniformity?

I was kinda leaning towards the geopolymer. One fellow had suggested that the 'nubs,' were where the wet materials were poured into a preformed frame, with the sides fairly close to the place where the stone would set. Someone else suggested the idea, that the wet stone materials were places in something like a burlap bag, made from plant materials. And then after the stone was seated into place, it was allowed to fully set and the 'bag,' being organic, would just rot away. Another reason I think they were 'poured, rather than cut, is the faces of many of these stones, seem to have a thin 'veneer,' that now in their ancient state of age, that veneer has begun to peel and flake from the surface beneath it. Many of the polygonal stones, have 'rounded,' kinda 'bloated,' looking faces, and that rounded shape is common. nubs or no. Looking at the stones on many of these polygonal walls, we also see what appears to be 'scooped and cupped marks,' on the surfaces. Like someone had a tool that would just scoop or peel the stone in sections, like peeling a potato. It's been suggested that the ancient builders had learned how to harness the sun, through something like glass or crystal, to magnify the sun and actually melt the stone, making it easy to scoop or scrape away, a bit at a time. There's a couple of videos on YT, where someone does exactly that, And melts stone! 'Granite too, I believe.' But maybe that was just for certain situations, not for mass production.

Those so called "nubs" are identical to the breather ports in the casting process in my foundry, and it would also explain many things if that's how they made these blocks, besides being a very easy way to get them to fit together so precisely 😉

I like the video. I still think handling bosses is the most likely explanation, at least for most examples we see, but you've put forward a not crazy idea.

Megaliths give me a stone nub 😉

I thought i am the only one who loves archeology and retro video gaming. So it seems i was wrong. Btw. i heard a lot of theories about these nubs. Your theory is new and interesting. But i still think they would not have done so much work moving and polishing hundreds of tons stones and would not go the last mile to remove the temporary mesurement nubs on the final product. So either the nubs had a certain purpose or they did no chiseling and cutting at all, because the stone was liquified in the first place. Just think of our modern plastic injection molding. There are nubs too. In my opinion the geopolymer theorie has the most issues but none of the existing theories can explain every aspect...

Nothing But Trouble!!! Awesome funny movie!!! The very first Wrong Turn!! Lol

Lifting bosses and similar leverage points. Nothing crazy and a pretty well known method. Every culture did this.

Some nubs might have been to prevent ladders from sliding away from the stone walls while the workers needed to work, repair and sight the placement of various stones.

Nubs could simply be remains from quarrying the block. When chiseling a block of stone from a quarry wall, often high above ground, some attachements must be left until the block is finished. These small attachements are then severed only as the last step before removal and transport of the block. The nubs could be the remains of such attachments.

"Back in those days.. they didn't have tape measures..." I'm always fascinated by these types of assumptions. So, we are literally looking at physical evidence of kind of building that is impossible to do with our todays technology. Also, we haven't got a clue what civilization built them, let alone how they built them. But, we are still sure that we are more advanced then them on so many levels, and certainly they didn't have something as advanced as tape measures! So in short, let's start with dogma that people who built these structures must have been extremely primitive compared to us. And now, let's start scratching our heads and asking ourselves how is it possible that they built this?

The nubs are there simply to identify the face of the stone that would face outward. All other faces had to be perfect except this face. The prominent ones left on to identify the structure, somewhat like our house numbers today.

You never disappoint, I respect and love your work. Nothing better than a hypothesis grounded on reality and not a lot of nonsense. I can’t wait for that UnchartedX video, you will 100% kill it. I can see this channel becoming extremely popular just based on how good your research is!

Very interesting, but as a reference I do not see how the nubs could be accurate enough for the stone walls and structures. Looking forward for your take on the "Granite Vases"

The Pointing Machine concept kind of falls apart if you cannot also explain what tools they had that could cut those stones so accurately. They did not possess such tools or at least none have ever been recovered. And some of those civilizations did create detailed glyphs or drawings of the most routine aspects of their culture, yet I haven't seen any such glyphs from Egypt or Central / South America when I would think that creating such massive structures would have been something they would have proudly depicted. Unless these structures are much older than we thing and were perhaps created by a more ancient civilization that had advanced tools and technologies--none of those have ever been recovered either. The theory that those civilizations some how made a concrete-like material from granite would make sense because they could pour the blocks in place. However there is no such evidence and the back side of those blocks are rough and natural. Unless someone uncovers glyphs that show how it was done, I don't think we will ever know for certain.

Then why four Nubs on one stone, second why would they put it on the mountains they were moving rock from Simplest explanation is the best it's a signature

Nahh, i don’t buy that explanation Try to make just 2 or 3 of that giant blocks perfectly jointed to prove it. Nobody could ever do. If you see those constructions in person instead of by photos you d understand it is simply absurd

This method would work for duplicating stones, but there are no duplicate stones in these walls.

I would suggest that these nubs are actually Securement Points, like Hoist Rings or Lifting Eyes. Used to attach ropes or cables to a fixed structure, to assist with lifting heavy loads or securement point

In 1997 I visited the Museo Inka museum Cuzco the museum curator / guide stated the general consensus was Inca stone blocks had been manufactured , locals had unearthed several pits of misshaped and fractured stones in the 1800s , inside they found insect larvae and small beatles which had fallen into the moulds and cement , I had not until now heard of any electricity been used in the manufacture , just sun drying . Hope this helps x

Pretty interesting theory. I have a duplicator setup with a pointer and a dremal tool, so I can copy carvings picture perfect. I can see how, what I believe you are talking about could be done, but there is the problem of attaching the setup to the nubs for the duplication. Anyway damn good thought about the best I've heard in a long time.

Another point, why would they have the surrounding rock to leave a nub that they planned to leave there, instead of carving a hole?

Wow I got all excited I thought it said True purpose of Megadeth

Very good theory , I visited Peru 20 years ago and similar thoughts crossed my mind. I've worked in construction all my life and one that puzzled me most was how did the ancients carry / place these giant blocks. Even modern day cranes would struggle with them. Couple that with the fact many of these sites are located on the top of mountains. It's fascinating to think how they achieved this without modern equipment. Your theory is definitely plausible, I enjoyed your video immensely. Thank you

Awesome video, hypothesis makes sense, however I would love your opinion on how the Kailasa temple at the Ellora caves in India was constructed, one of the most magnificent pieces of architecture I've ever seen,if you could make a video on this, it would be great.

Nubs are objects not precise / relaiable to surve as reference points. And only one nub per block? And the walls consist of different blocks - none of them reproduced.

I have never ever heard the account of Geo-polymers requiring electricity to cure? I am 100% convinced that they are geo-polymers. There is no way in hell these stones were cut to these sizes. They have to be poured onto each other. That is the only way mortar is no needed. What about the scoop, marks? These massive boulders do not look like solid stones, rather facades over huge rubble stones, to make them look purdy!

I spent some time looking at these large stones and considered how they were made. For me it was those nubs and the roundness of the finish that gave it away. These stones were cast in large individual molds right where they stand. The outer face of the molds were sheathed with large animal skins. These skins included the whole upper leg skins not cut open. It was these leg skin tubes that were used to make the nubs. The leg tubes could also be pushed into the mold creating those half round holes. When the form was packed with cement the flexible skin pushed outward creating the roundish finish of the stones...Consider ; there was a natural cement used by the ancients that is no longer available or understood. My opinion of course.

I think if we really knew how they did this stuff we'd be really shocked at how simple and effortless it really is. There are some lost technologies that we (the public) have yet to discover... but at the same time there are whistle blowers who claim we have black programs that that do have this knowledge.

Excellent theory, clearly explained. Well done!!!

I feel to accurately hypothesize how these large stones were constructed one must first know how they were set/or molded in place

NINE minutes into the video, Mr. Dunking says, “ In my opinion this is how they would go about it.” Dude, get to the point! Nine minutes is too long!

I'm not an engineer or a stone mason, but this seems absolutely plausible. Also it made me think of another tool, one used by ship builders I believe its called a "tic tac stick."

Great hypothesis. I also like the leverage point for rigging hypothesis. Personally, I've thought they were remnants of quarrying. An example as the unfinished obelisk, They'd grind away to the bottom, then grind it out more to small singular points, then break it off, which would leave these singular nubs. They'd quarry larger blocks, and then cut them down smaller and to fit, to make the wall, as we know they had to have been cut to fit on sight as they were building. Which is also why we see them randomly and not uniform. The nubs and walls we see are simply unfinished. The ones that get me, are the finished ones we see at Ollantaytambo, where the wall is finished to flat, but they also left the nubs and finished those as well. I think they served all these hypothesis. Just a usable feature left over from the process. Hope this makes sense lol If only we had time machines. So much mystery with these ancient marvels. Hope you're doing well bud. Always enjoy your videos!

Here’s another purpose for the knobs: the stonemasons knew that the finished product would be travelling, so the need to lift it onto something would aid removing it from the quarry and not by their staff, but by the acquirers of the stone. So, they added the feature so that it could be lifted somewhat because the knob side would be on the ground and then levers could be inserted to lift it onto a moving platform for transport easier than when flat on the ground. Likewise, when ready to move it into place, the knob side would allow for more levers to move it better.

I like your idea.one thing I'm sure of the whole inca civilization weren't together in the time frame it would take to not just make the stones fit . But to move them at that altitude. And then there's the small fact that it couldn't be done manually.i Don't care how many people you have there's only so much room for hands .. Dan

All these debunkers gotta do is stop acting like smug know it all's and build some of these objects and show us all how simple and easy it was. I mean these ancients did it seemingly with zero practice or harden tools. Not to mention the ancient stone queries on the sides of cliffs that you have to rappel to even get to.

Simplest idea : The nubs were only there to prevent the stone sitting flat on the ground while it’s worked on… Imagine trying to get under one of these once it’s flat down. Also imagine trying to tip one a little just to sling it for a lift… I believe, many of the nubs were actually finished off and removed, those remaining on the wall faces were just not needed to be removed.

Lifting bosses or handling bosses are protrusions intentionally left on stones by masons to facilitate maneuvering the blocks with ropes and levers. They are an important feature of ancient and classical construction, and were often not cut away, despite having fulfilled their purpose. Sometimes this was the result of a cost-saving measure or a construction halt. Other times bosses were left as a stylistic element, and even if dressed back, a remnant of them was kept to make their existence obvious.

Your explanation is the most feasable one I've ever heard. No magic, just beautifull ingenuity. I like wood working, and I could translate what you explained to wood working. Genius. Best Regards

I like this idea...but, I don't think it would be as accurate as we need it to be. If you have the ability to make nubs, and FLAT angled surfaces, why make the nubs rounded? Affixing some sort of apparatus to a rounded nub is going to leave lots of 'wiggle room'. If you made a squared nub, a device carved out of wood would definitely stay locked in place for measurements. But rounded nubs....there's gonna be wiggle room. It's not like they would make the apparatus rounded as well - so that it would fit securely - that wouldn't make sense. And especially in the regions these nubs are found at, so many of the surrounding surfaces are FLAT, and ANGULAR. So if you have that ability to make sharp angles, why make nubs rounded, that would allow your pointing device to wobble, or have 'give'?

This is deceptive, we don't know what these entitity's possesed in the way of tecnology, #Egypt signs of lasers & drills used, take care.

I like it. I also had a theory that the nubs are anchor points for plaques and decorations. I heard Inca or Aztec used a lot of metal gold and silver on buildings

It's not a bad idea. But I tend to disagree. Looking at the joints there's a slight hollow so only two thinner faces actually interact. The blocks where likely put in place and cut so the mating surfaces would fit tightly. So the part this frame would be needed for needs far less accuracy... I don't think lapping was necessary either Lapping odd shaped massive stones would be an incredibly difficult task.. Compared to running a tool between two stones. The nubs can be used to take some weight, perhaps some wood was put under a nub and then hammered jamming it against the ground, taking weight so the tool used between blocks to finish joints did not bind

The Geo-polymer technique makes more sense to me and the nubs were caused when they pulled the forms before the mix had hardened and it oozed out at the wet spots. That's why the nubs are never uniform, but random.

In earthquake areas the individual rocks may just lock together even when the entire ground shaking. Stacked stone fences just have a few small filler stones to improved the stability. But they are usually small structures and constantly repaired or restacked if needed. And lean in on themselves. Large stones of granite with a smaller granite stone above on a swinging parallel frame could graze the two surfaces and wear each to shape. 😊 Clearly they enjoyed moving heavy rocks and so could maybe manage moving rocks past each other. You showed a flat surface, but i could imagine a matching shaped surfaces. Then they remove all the equipment and rubble to show off their creation of fancy stacked rocks. If we are impressed, I bet they were impressed. Control over our environment and nature is a lifetime feeling. A gift to the gods, A sign to the gods that we are not just meat eating animals. Look what we made Dad. Hahaha 👍 😊😊😊😊 We are like you, the gods who make everything. Too deep ???? 😮

Can we see this done without steel needles, machined thumb screws, two part epoxy etc. etc? Sorry, not convinced. The wooden frame example was shown only in a 2d example. The poly stones are 3d. I don’t believe that the ancients had advanced technology, but I think this proposal needs to be fleshed out more, be more self critical. You need to fill in the gaps better. Show someone achieving the same results using only materials available to the ancient workers. Not some guy carving a face on a bench with steel needles and epoxy. Nothing debunked here, I’m afraid.

I have to say man, this is the best hypothesis I’ve heard about the nubs. It’s not as exciting as electricity outputs but it makes sense. I’m about to take a sculpture class so maybe I’ll end up using a pointing machine at some point, and at least now I’ll have a rough idea. One thought I’ve always had about the nubs is maybe they were used as contact points for an acoustic resonance generator or something to more easily determine the stones resonance and facilitate movement, but that’s more woo than anything. One thing is for sure, many groups of people across the world adopted this as a solution, so it was obviously something functional, but was also left for some reason, maybe for aesthetics, maybe not, but the structures they show up in all demonstrate precision capabilities in cutting, so removal isn’t a challenge. Keep it up man, really enjoyed the last few videos! Especially the Atlantis hunting one.

Sacsayhuaman is an incredible site and man those walls are mind blowing. I like your hypothesis but my only problem is that the material is granite so o really doubt that all these walls are carved by hand. My guess is more into geo polymer use. Looking at the walls you can actually see that at some point this thing was in a kind of plastic state. It makes sense that you can place it, form it, cut it in anyway you want and more important the accuracy you have between the pieces. The nobs are the feeding pipes that get the polymer into its place, after finishing the piece they cut it and leaving a mark. Not all of the pieces have a mark because it depends from which point they filled them up. Who knows?

The nubs were for practicing rock wall climbing obviously 😊

Not bad, but incorrect. Nubs are points of injection of geopolymer. Mold injection! These structures are footings, poured into a ditch. Not meant to be seen, just earthquake resistant. They're still there.

I am sure that we will have a good laugh the day we know with certainty what the nubes are for. Like earlier marketing of cars: customers did not appear to make rational desicions when bying a new car. It turned out that women (wifes) were more involved in the decision than expected. And their preferences, in turn, were based on factors such as the color of the car, the fabric in the seats etc. So still rational thinking, but from a surprising point of view

Makes a lot of sense actually. As for attributing a higher level of technology to earlier humans than the mainstream academia likes, I think something my dad (RIP) said years ago about the 'Nazca Lines' when he saw pictures of them. You see he was a surveyor for many years, actually retired in the late 90's, and he understood the earlier techniques used to plot out a piece of land. I went with him a few times and with just a tape line we plotted out a property, starting at one pin point (metal pin in the ground) and traced out the property using it and a metal tape line to find the other pins. If you take a drawing and want it enlarged to massive dimensions, scale model the drawing and use surveying to complete the drawing on the land.

it is a volcanic clay that can be found in earth crust depressions at various locations - they can stay soft as a playdough for centuries until infrared radiation hits them from sun - it is a blue color clay when in its virgin state - once hardened in infrared which is part of solar spectrum - it turns solid within few months - the handles you see are not handles nor any sort of lifting perch - those are balancing weight additions or subtractions - so the final product can have a well balanced weight directly down without any tilting - the squeegee marks you see are simple way to revert hardening when they notice the piece is not in place - so it needs to be re-balanced by removing extra weight from one side or another - also in order for them fit properly and tightly they used mirrors to reflect sunlight and increase infrared radiation to speed up the hardening process - and yes volcanic ash turns into sandstone and volcanic clay turns into basalt and granite depending on how much crushed quartz was added - also keep in mind that quartz allows to speed up infrared radiation by getting deeper into the volcanic clay mixed with quartz - as a side note on how they made statues that look like people even having hand impressions on their skin and facial covers or nets that drape their bodies and dresses - that is well known volcanic ash mixed with crushed amber and then heated and poured into human impressions inside alabaster - then all pieces are assembled together and every place where they meet are filled in with volcanic ash that turns into sandstone when exposed to sun for a few months - of course buffed and polished until the gloss has been produced - moreover no one ever cut or chiseled any stones to make large structures - there was no need back then and there is no need of that now - places with volcanic clay as well as ash are all over the world - many of them are right in front of us but the overthinking of a principle knowledge is what makes us misunderstanding the old tech by assuming there is more in that of what we dont know -

LOve this explination... well, hate it actually coz it means theres no aliens.... but is a perfectly reasonable answer to the unexplained.

Just found your channel mate great stuff, I've liked and subed, I have done stone work, brick work, drystone walling ect and have to say they look like they were poured I can't explain how it just looks more like concrete pours than stone carving theres lots of ways to make a strong wall and you dont have to make joints that tight only poured concrete does that

Geopolymers? God people are daft. Tbh I assumed it was a tether point for rope, or a point to stop a lewis marring the face.

I thought they were an aid to gaining a purchase on the heavy smooth blocks in order to lift them

wow thats a really well thought out theory, i kinda like it, it sure is awfully simple tho, isnt it? and humans are widely accepted to be the most laziest animals on this rock, and this is a lot lazier than some theories, all it takes really is just time, manpower, and sheer will to see it all the way thru, from the first stone to the millionth and final stone, and it doesnt take any crazy or advanced or lost tech either, just the same tools they are already widely accepted to be believed to have had in reality back then, so while this theory may not be perfect, the lazy and easy parts sure do make it seem like an awfully strong contender now to me, those are big boxes to check in terms of verification of overall plausibility

Nubs, thats the rub. An old saying. 😊 Good video, excellent 👏

Why dosnt every stone have a nub then..dissappointed

Nubs? Have you seen my husband's fingernails?

Their type electric socket for what they powered

Wonder if nub stones are the most complex shaped stones

Hey, thanks for video, i like talking about these walls. I'm bad in English so I'll use the minimum words needed 😀 sorry about that. 3:54 Talking about the plan of the wall. - 25 pages may be needed for a single stone and there's no tool to verify the final result. Bad idea. - Pointing device cannot be use on object of that scale without solid arms of STEEL 1 - Start the wall by placing the first Big stone of any shape. 2 - Mold 1 of the face creating a negative shape. Mold made of wood or some cement. " Bread's good enough as mold if no better idea. Light material and easy to shape, that can keep the shape, and provide food when damaged. " 3 - Use the negative to shape the next stone. And that's all... You can add a new stone every week if everything goes well. Since this make only 52 stone each year, you'll cover more distance if the stone are bigger... ... ... My problem is more about the precision. There's a lot of step to reach that kind of precision. In all step, different kind of tools need to be used. They all require a lot of stone manipulation. What tool ? What energy ? All around the globe, human found how to create megalithic wall isolated from each other. One said : - " Human will find the same solution to a same problem even if they never teach each other !!! ... " Then why cant we find that solution today ? Arent we human facing a same problem ? Are we facing the same problem ? We want to find how they did. They wanted to do ... that. " Maybe it's hard to find the same solution since we're not facing the same problem ?!? " They wanted to do ... that. '' that '' What is '' that' ' That = Material : Stone Shape : - No Straight line - No sharp corner or sharp angle - No flat surface - No connected joint - No regularity Precision : 1 millimeter Size : Minimum : 1 tons ; Maximum 100 tons ++ (But no brick of 2 pounds. Only heavy weight stone. Bigger = Better.) Construction type : Wall Durability : 10/10 ( To make things harder, the king could have asked them to do these walls without using their hands maybe ? ) " Human will find the same solution to a same problem even if they never teach each other !!! ... " Here, we're looking at a civilization that added to their construction, a lot of complex specification for mysterious reason. If you need a ''Durability 10/10'' . You are not forced to add all other specification to your walls. Adding all these specification to your wall is also adding your own ''signature'' to your wall. Same thing goes with the Knobs, they're some sort of signature. And we can find some of these wall in various place around the world. Using the knobs as guide for the mold is possible. Probably both to help the crafting and to help moving the stone. Then as support for additional wood structure. ----------- Concerning the vase at the end. So far it's the only one that reach that kind of precision. I wonder who really made that vase.
