I have a big interest in this topic too.

I stumbled into it in the strangest way quite a few years ago.

I was studying civil engineering at the time and did an assignment on the history of seismic engineering.

I began looking at Roman architecture but I kept seeing links to the polygonal masonry found in Peru (Sacsayhuaman) and eventually investigated that subject further.

Polygonal or cyclopean masonry is pretty phenomenal. The way the blocks fit together to give a wall flexibility yet still be strong. And also the way each block is different size and shape means no two blocks share the same harmonic resonance (frequency they vibrate at) offers huge benefits.

But it is seemingly impossible to build and engineer by todays standards.

And if it was only found in Peru/Bolivia it might be less interesting but it is not.

Peru

Easter island

Japan

Turkey

Greece

Italy

Egypt

Its an ancient worldwide phenomenon

We are re-writing history. It is not being televised, just dumped in the memory hole at this point. MSM and most everyone else had managed to miss the proverbial point.
