The surface texture is weathering because of acid rain. Sulfur dioxide, an acid rain precursor, can react directly with limestone in the presence of water to form gypsum, which eventually flakes off or is dissolved by water. In addition, acid rain can dissolve limestone and marble through direct contact.

The carvings are still very mysterious and everywhere in Peru, especially in the Sacred Valley.

Thumbing through The Stones of Tiahuanaco last night and read the part where Protzen explains that the top of the H Block is actually the bottom of the niche shape that is found on stones all over the site (and in miniature inside the block). It just lost the top stone that completes the shape.

Interesting how the bottom of the block has a less ornate niche with the corresponding shape in miniature inside it as well.

Levels of ascension?

@BrightInsight6 @bryanlynch81859 That's obviously a T Pillar!

@EALTurner @Megalithic12000 @BrightInsight6 @TheProjectUnity And Christians carved the same cross into the same block in the same place on two different sites? and the cracks and weathering are the same? You must be joking.

[SIGHTSEER @sightseervideo]

@EALTurner @Megalithic12000 @BrightInsight6 @TheProjectUnity Those are absolutely pictures of the same wall.

Inca were a small upper class of elites. They imported the labor (and skill) from all over the region. Even then, people were working with stone in Peru for thousands of years before the inca so many buildings could have been inherited. It's a great mystery that will never be solved!

@TheProjectUnity The Spanish blasted that whole area apart looking for gold.

@xplanetv @Megalithic12000 Reminds me of Hiram Bingham erasing Agustín Lizárraga from the story of Machu Picchu.

@TwistDead1 Are there any other examples of vertical clamp marks? How would somebody go about pouring that?

@TheProjectUnity Ollantaytambo “cut” is a weathered out quartz vein.

They must of had ingenious techniques to do what they did! We are the uneducated people saying it must have been magic or aliens.

Makes me question what advanced technology really is when a culture can make megaliths that last thousands of years with nothing but what they find laying around.

@Megalithic12000 Is there any documentation of this theory in the older Spanish accounts of Peru or is this a new idea? I know Ben said that a guide (I don’t know his name) originally came up with this classification system. Is it based in any historic accounts?
