...but please explain the saw cut stone at the beginning of the video. As someone who cuts stone using diamond scintered blades I can tell you that that stone was cut by a saw... no question about it. And if that stone is a 7 MOH no amount of sand would do the trick...

I honestly don't know, Maybe they discovered a way to embed sand into bronze saws? Maybe they discovered a way to make and use the modern day equivalent of industrial diamonds?. We just don't know enough about those civilisations to be sure. But I'm still betting it was just some clever humans rather than aliens... (or possibly the cuts were made at a later date?) Bit hard to prove either way.

i agree with it being humans that did it. not aliens. BUT they did it with knowledge that we do not understand today. i believe there is a lost human civilization in the history of earth.

Please don't misunderstand... I never mentioned aliens. The OP doesn't either.
Sand is generally much softer than a 7 MOH and you cannot cut stone using a softer material than the stone itself.
I'm fully on board with the ancient advanced tech theory. I've seen evidence in photos and video of circular blade saw marks on Egyptian stones as well.

much of the work in egypt is granite.
including the obelisk at the vatican
"Puna Punku" A temple build of Granite and Diorite, (Diorite cannot be cut with anything else but Diamond tools)

There are so many examples of stone work all over the world that seems to indicate highly advanced tools were used in the making. It's becoming more and more difficult for modern archeologists to provide plausible explanations for the methods used to produce such amazing works.
It's probably conceit that makes me so resistant to ancient alien theories but I really like to think that humans did all of these things we find hard to believe

Even at eastern island they had the same technique and as big, but as told by some indians in boats who came there.
The mystery today is how these statues were created. It is said that it was near impossible for the inhabitants of early Easter Island to carve, transport and lift the statues upright with their primitive tools. Various theories have sprouted as to how these were carved, obtained and lifted up straight, but none of them has been proven to be 100% accurate so far.
The more prominent theories are explained in “What Scientists Believe”.

yes some of puma punku is sand stone. but some is granit.
There are rocks that are extrusive (formed quickly on the surface of the earth) or intrusive (formed within the earth under slow cooling). Both types of extrusive or intrusive rocks can vary in composition from mafic (high iron and magnesium content) to silicic (less heavy ions like Fe and Mg, but with more of the lighter elements like Ca, Na, K, etc.). Extrusive rocks range from most mafic to less mafic as such: Basalt, Andesite, Rhyolite (and are all fine-grained b/c they cooled quickly).
Intrusive rocks that cool more slowly and have larger crystals range from most mafic to less mafic as such: Gabbro, Diorite, Granite. Basalt and gabbro have a similar composition, just the crystal size differs from different cooling rates (same for rhyolite and granite).
.001 accuracy in corners.. not bashed out with stone in hand
