@history_rev This nub is amazing 🤩

@plastolithic It would stagger and possibly endanger others, e.g. kids. They did it for security reasons, as they couldn't lift them to change their position. Ask for more info from the Incas:)

@OurHiddenPast I don't think so. Putting lots of small stones under it is like putting it on ball bearings. A 20-ton block isn't going anywhere during an earthquake.

@plastolithic For stability of the block and during earthquakes. Placed by the Incas

@history_rev The rubble underneath some of these OT stones is interesting. I thought that they might have been added in recent times for tourism reasons, but even in the oldest pics they are there. Aside from how they got there, what purpose could they serve? Those huge stones don't need them

@Giacomo770 I am sure there are more. We just need to find them and put them in one folder:)

@OurHiddenPast Quite similar and also quite far away from Cusco.

Cusco: I find myself observing these cuts in the stone, which are truly unique. To date, there are no similar ones in any known archaeological site. This is evidence that is either not discussed or, at best, ignored. It does not appear in any technical or academic report. Furthermore, the type of tool used to make these cuts is unknown. The drill bit in the stone is at least half a meter deep, and everything indicates a rotational movement and pressure exerted from top to bottom, but the speed of the tool had to remain constant, and the material could not have been copper or bronze. Seeing this image, I can affirm that an ANCIENT HIGH TECHNOLOGY did indeed exist.

@plastolithic Here is the same, but with a bit of creativity:)

@plastolithic Where is this? Tipon?

@history_rev That's a very valuable source. Great find, Jeff! 🔥

@history_rev 😂😂😂 you criminal

@plastolithic @OurHiddenPast 👍🏻😉

Hmmm...function? See the 2nd photo. #clamps #keystonecuts At the archaeological site of Amphiaraeion, Oropos, Greece 🇬🇷

@plastolithic Don't dare to edit my watermarks! 😈

@OurHiddenPast @history_rev AI image editing is really good at getting rid of these annoying watermarks and text that people put on their photos 🤠

@history_rev Jeff, it is written "not for publication" there 😅 🤭

@OurHiddenPast @plastolithic @AHC_Channel Also Eleusis #nubs, at the Telesterion ('great hall/ sanctuary'):

@history_rev 👍👍👍

@OurHiddenPast Came to mind: maps.app.goo.gl/wGAs2nqe2iLWzr…

@history_rev Don't worry at all)

@OurHiddenPast Sure (and next time I will read the thread before replying 😑)

@history_rev Haha 😁 If you find another pic of it from your archive, it would be great!:) If not, we'll keep looking 😎 I also found these quite interesting, from the same site

@OurHiddenPast @AHC_Channel Oooooh. Should have put my glasses on 🤓

@history_rev @AHC_Channel Interesting. But what I meant is this large one that seems to be on bedrock, not on block

@OurHiddenPast @plastolithic @AHC_Channel Button nubs...button blocks. Not sure how to call them.

@plastolithic @AHC_Channel @history_rev This specific site looks like 2 civiliz. layers. So the button nub could be on bedrock indeed. I couldn't find any other photo of that specific button nub. Maybe Jeff has more

@OurHiddenPast @AHC_Channel @history_rev Well spotted! It's a pity we can't see whether it's on bedrock or a block. The color does look a lot like the bedrock though.

@history_rev Are you kidding me?! I was there... Before I knew about the "nubs" as a hallmark 🤦

Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey #nubs 1/2

@plastolithic @AHC_Channel Eleusis, Greece. Found another button, there on top. @history_rev did you know about that?

@OurHiddenPast @AHC_Channel "This place is sacred". And so are the buttons.😉
