  1. 13:50 "Evidence of same type of stone 4 kilometers away" -- no argument there! Local stone was used 100%!... Yet, ...are the shapes of the negatives -the cuts in the natural rocks - the same in size/shape/weight as the erected wall stones?  NO, they are not.  Each of the wall stones wasn't "cut" but was "cast" and it was done in place - by using the heat of the sun...  no, not polymer nor anything artificial... the Inca knew how to melt the natural stone, scoop it out in small brick like rectangular sizes and having it recast in place. That is the reason these cast wall parts are much-much-much more earthquake resistant than all of the later repairs done in stones and mortar. The wall pieces were not cut nor grounded against each other to fit -- they were cast into specific shapes for durability and sturdiness and employing many animal shapes - or "sacred geometry" of numerous geometrical nature figures (bees hexagon, for example) The video to also watch is called "K2019" here on YouTube, I recommend it for the author as well.

  2. Why nothing has been discussed about ancient Egypt? Such building (casting of walls) was done for thousands of years before "the Greek world" ... how about 3,000BCE??

  3. 17:53 "Vincent Lee on Inca stone transportation" -- the image presented as "wall rock transportation from quarry" is actually a cartoon type of representing the actual: Inca Road being made... The priest on top of the flat bottomed round topped stone (not rock) has a bucket hanging on his left wrist and with his right arm is shown to be sprinkling the ground, obviously before the dragged stone. Also notice the size of rope shown and how it is tied and how many extensions it has... Two. There are not more than 4 people shown in that cartoon dragging the stone.  No need for wooden rollers -- it has been proven, tis much easier to pour either oily liquid or small round stones underneath for easy "rolling". On Easter Island they "walked" the statues upright... amazing, look it up. About rollers being used in ancient Egypt, -- sideview of round stones, such ones but smaller are found in all quarries...but were never used for "pounding" the rocks into shape though. Just for large rocks moving. All ancient megalithic well-fitting stone-structures were poured/moulded in place. Just as we nowadays pour/mould concrete and other stone types. These "ahura-mazda" (sun and lens) ancient techniques are known to us as " philosopher's stones".  Masonry is the second oldest profession in the world.. LOL... true though.  And, I completely agree -- our ancestors were as smart as we are nowadays!
