78:5.6 (873.2) These Andites were the so-called Dravidian and later Aryan conquerors of India; and their presence in central Asia greatly upstepped the ancestors of the Turanians. Many of this race journeyed to China by way of both Sinkiang and Tibet and added desirable qualities to the later Chinese stocks. From time to time small groups made their way into Japan, Formosa, the East Indies, and southern China, though very few entered southern China by the coastal route.
78:5.7 (873.3) One hundred and thirty-two of this race, embarking in a fleet of small boats from Japan, eventually reached South America and by intermarriage with the natives of the Andes established the ancestry of the later rulers of the Incas. They crossed the Pacific by easy stages, tarrying on the many islands they found along the way. The islands of the Polynesian group were both more numerous and larger then than now, and these Andite sailors, together with some who followed them, biologically modified the native groups in transit. Many flourishing centers of civilization grew up on these now submerged lands as a result of Andite penetration. Easter Island was long a religious and administrative center of one of these lost groups. But of the Andites who navigated the Pacific of long ago none but the one hundred and thirty-two ever reached the mainland of the Americas.
And so the culture of Mesopotamia quietly spread out over Europe, India, China, northern Africa, and the Pacific Islands.

Some sources claim sound was used both to saw through stone and to move stones nearly weightlessly. And to heal in sound healing chambers with different frequencies to attack different ailments. There’s an experiment where they pass a frequency thru a copper wire on YouTube and it vibrates right thru granite. Wish I saved the link.

Are you really going to compare the size of the blocks in your pics to Baalbek’s?
Context is important here. That’s the point.

No mention of Baalbek so an incorrect an invalid statement.
Context - Yes it is. They moved stones by dragging them. Very very few extremely heavy stones were moved by ancient man. So do you agree we have evident of people using muscle power to move heavy stones?
One of 1,000 tons in Egypt
Three 800 ton one's at Baalbek
two 720 ton Colossi in Egypt
35-40 400 ton stones for Khafre and Sphinx temple (moved about 100 meters)
250 ton western stone

You know why so few really heavy stones were ever moved? It was really, really difficult
a number of 220 ton stones in Menkaure's pyramid

Why can we not replicate them?
I've heard this a lot but it seems to me engineers or even a decent bricky never agrees. Why should they when we actually do have the ability to weave a cloth that can filter water or aim lasers over 384k km of space and bounce them off a mirror that's a couple of square feet. It's a bit short sighted to think we can't move a 1000 tonne stone a few miles when we've launched 100 tonne payloads into space.
The Taisun crane can lift 20,000 tonnes, Cleopatra's Needle weighed 200 tonnes and the transportation of that is well documented.
Ancient building techniques are well understood too, fire and water a great for splitting rocks. All you need is a starting line. This can be achieved by engraving a line then applying heat or drill tiny little holes, fill them with pegs then apply water.
All the meso-american structures were assumed to be built without metal but that's a debatable point since smelters that predate Columbus have been found, the Inca knew of metallurgy.
Seems no matter where we look they had the potential with the technology and the means available, I personally find it a bit ignorant to think people of history couldn't achieve these great works.

I watch most if not all of history mystery and the dude from India, starts with a P.. lol It does bind the mind of why these polygonal walls and all the heavy lifting is throughout the entire planet.. I try to keep an open mind but dang if you have a better explanation then lets hear it? I am all ears because I find it very compelling...

The history they want you to believe is that we all evolved out of Africa. That story helps us remain manageable and ignorant of our true potential.

If you are able to carve and move a 16,000 pound stone,
surely you have the technology for masonry using a 1 pound bricks.
So, why does man build public works using 16,000 pound stones?
Because there is something outside the walls that can move a 15,000 pound stone.

Something is definitely up with this line of investigation. So, for example, there is a layer of hewn stones at the base of the Temple of Jupiter built by the Romans at Heliopolis. The ability to quarry, move and place these huge stones is beyond imagination and beyond anything the Romans could have done.

Yep, people were hauling around rocks for thousands of the year using muscle power. The last folks to do so for real (not Experimental archaeological recreations) were the Nias people in Sumatra and did so circa 1915.
