But we're left to believe that they built the great roadway, canals, terraces and dragged huge stones from one mountain, down the mountain, across a valley and up another mountain in the sacred valley to build the great walls of Sacsayhuaman with 300-ton stones? [/quote] Construction workers? [/quote] lol not like any construction workers you're aware of [/quote] They are all the same thru the ages... Just their tools and techniques tend to vary... [/quote] Not the same through the ages. These were planned/designed and constructed with a higher intelligent mind and technology than us today or any since. The completed work shows us that. [/quote] Sure, and they were so advanced they only worked with stones. No fancy metals or other materials. Just stones, and didn't leave any remnants of anything else behind. [/quote] It's entirely possible for instance, that they used hemp for tools. Henry Ford built an automobile from hemp. Over time the Earth reclaims the tool. That's advanced eco-friendly construction. There could have been metals tools, but where are they? We always leave a tool or two at our sites. Perhaps the sites are so old that the solar micro-nova cycles washed them into the oceans? or they simply 'disappeared' in the solar radiation over time. [/quote] We were highly advanced pre flood. The buildings were molded, 3d printed, laser cut... Sound and magnetism used to move them. No need for hemp tools. [/quote]
