Intriguing! Sounds alot like Phyllanthus niruri (Chanca piedra)
which Tainos, Arawaks, Seminoles etc of Plato's Atlantis (the Caribbean & Keys) traditionally use to help pass kidney stones.. ouch!
reminds me.. there was a movie about time travel where people fall down into a pit and get stuck in time.. incidentally therewithin is also the elusive 'fountain' of youth (which realistically, would be not literally a fountain, but rather, the natives' watering hole full of aloe vera gel).
in the end of the movie i think so much time has passed above the pit, that earth is pretty much finished and ETs visit!
anyone know that movie's name?

It sounds crazy but the missing ingredient was in fact................... Bat#
No really. The jotcha plant was used to soften the stone, possibly combined with maize vinegar and other plants but until recently noone knew how it was hardened again. The answer is guano: en.wikipedia.org...
Here's a video from the geopolymer institute:

And here's a scientific paper:
for all the boring people who don't really belong on ATS
Actually this is about the pre Incan site at Pumapunku but it's pretty obvious similar technology would have been carried on.
