The Greatest Mystery, Solved. Recreating Ancient Stone Melding Technology (Part 1)

Join me for an epic journey and come learn about one of the greatest mysteries ever to be solved as I now begin recreating lost ancient stone melding technology. This is part 1 of an occasional new series on this topic - and the first video in current history that entirely explains THE OLDEST MYSTERY ON EARTH - so stay tuned for more!

So this hypothesis raises more questions than it answers.
* Where did they get enough power?
* Why do we not have physical or graphical records of the power sources?
* How did this technology get transferred all around the globe and then get lost?
* Most rock is an insulator. How do they create a plasma arc between the electrodes?
* Assuming they can melt the rock, how to they prevent spattering?
* How do they keep the rocks from melting together?
* Wouldn't molten rock pool from gravity?
* Why can't they eliminate the nubs while the rock is still soft?
* If they can create air pockets inside the rock, why didn't they do that to pyramidal stone blocks?
Probably a lot more questions. This is what I came up with in about a minute.

You keep saying "I have discovered". There is a difference between discovering and theorizing. At the moment, you have a working theory that may or may not be correct. Show us in practical application and then you can say that you have discovered how it is done.

[stevenmarcato]

Many of these holes, especially in Rome were for the mounting of marble facades.

[collincluff]

The biggest question that needs to be addressed is what source of electricity did ancient people use to generate the plasma?
Furthermore, how did they compress the air necessary to create plasma?
Your story leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

The rods in the Great Pyramid Queen's chamber shaft are not a mystery. They were used by the Edgar brothers to probe the shafts after they were opened in the 19th century, and some of the rods got stuck on the bends in the shaft and broke off, so they could not retrieve them.

[WalterWagner]

In the Roman era, stone blocks were fitted with iron pins to help lock them into place. After Rome fell, during the dark ages, iron was scarce, and people began digging into the stone blocks, to extract the pins. That is why many buildings, like the colloseum, have all those pock-marks. I'm not certain as to the reason for some of the other marks, where that is not the obvious explanation.

[JohnWillman-Videos]

OK, then meld a stone and show us the results.

[comfortablynumb]

The power source is obviously the big question, and how they made plasma.
I'd really love to see this work out with modern equipment. Duplicating the old techniques and technology would be very interesting, but now we probably have better materials and stuff to do it even better than before. Making those stones is one thing, moving them is another but we have machines now. I want to see this happening. And I want you to survive showing us.

If stones would be melded and casted into shapes, then many stones would have the exact same shape. Because the same forms would be used over again.
As a stonemason I know these typical holes as slots where something, especially wooden structures or ornaments, have been fitted in after the building was already done. You will find these in thousands of medieval castles. You will also find other kinds of holes and stubs there. They were used to create places, where the lifting devices were used.

[freaker]

at least someone is working on it and trying to solve the ancient tech secrets. Shows how clever the ancient people are.

[crustydribblins]

Lifting large, finished edge stones would most surely have a tendency to cut the fiber ropes of the time with ease, or just plainly get in the way underneath the stones when placed, so I can't help but logically believe that the "nubs" were used for the ropes to be tied or slung for precise applications. The "Holes" could've simply been scaffolding mounts or used with iron rods for the purpose of lifting the finished stones into place. We should look into if the "Nubbed" stones were favored in an area with less iron access or smelting experience, or it would also make applicable sense that the "Nubbed" stones pre-date the stones with precision drill holes in them. Or not.... just my opinion.

[JLowry]

I found hexagonal holes and a metal line that looks similar to a gas line near some broken cliff faces of the grand canyon. Would be happy to share the pics if you're interested in looking.

[Mike-ymrl]

I believe that all these blocks are poured in place or on site. The holes you see are for tie-rods to stop the forms bursting open.

[ppjgkqi]

For years I’ve thought that the oddly shaped blocks of stone in the walls in South America and elsewhere look as though they’d been moulded, like plasticine, but I couldn’t think how. Thanks for the information!

[bobclifton]

I see two problems here. one, many of the sites contain huge stones that would have required massive equipment just to melt the stones. Then there's the issue of how they formed them after melting. Why do we not find any such molding equipment? Two, the electrical generation equipment would have to have been massive to generate high enough voltage to accomplish large scale melting of stone. Then there's the technology required to build such equipment. There are no signs anywhere of such equipment or any sites where they might have been used. Lastly, why hasn't this been used in modern times to conveniently shape stone for use?

[MW-ywbp]

This technique makes the most sense. I would love to see a real rock melting experiment like this. Thanks for sharing!

[toddtaylor]

Where did they get their electronic?
And the steel rods?
With them being in the bronze age.

[brianmcrock]

Interesting indeed. I look forward to seeing more data from further experiments. Thanks!

[vsiegel]

Ok, say they had electric power and were able to create plasma. Even then: This needs not only "power", it needs a lot of it and for a long time. I am not convinced.

[thepeacemaker]

Thats probably the best explanation ive see yet. Who knows what capabilities the master builders had with electrodes, frequencies etc..as they were the experts, here the scientist is in early experimentation. I def think its a high possibility tho. Good job
