Rocks can be formed in three ways. Igneous rocks are formed from melted rock deep inside the Earth. Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sand, silt, dead plants, and animal skeletons. Metamorphic rocks formed from other rocks that are changed by heat and pressure underground.

looks like someone had a very thorough knowledge of the shape of the rocks in his rock inventory and maybe did some sanding to fit them in

It has a simple explanation, my friend, just ask peer-reviewed historians and archeologists. People were just very dumb back then so instead of making technological progress like us, the modern civilization, they just didn't have anything better to do with their time than to lift extremely heavy stones, drag them up to the mountains, and carve them into absurdly precise shapes.

these are earth walls faced with stone and connected to each other with clever joints. they were made to fit so closely by treating the vontavt surfaces with some sort of acidic mixture they already knew about.

The legends say they could soften the stones and shape them with their hands. The irregular arrangement makes them very resilient against quakes.

WRONG. The Inca, called Tawantinsuyu by its subjects, excavated firey hot magma directly from the earth's core and then forged the magma into rocks using advanced magma manipulation methodologies, creating shapes such as the square and the rhombus.

Okay, here's the thing. I listened to a view about how an ancient civilization built these structures using some sort of unknown and lost technology, sometime before 12,000 years ago. Then they got wiped out by some cataclysmic event at the end of the Younger Dryas epoch. Possibly an asteroid impact.

Following that some modern humans moved in around these areas and built upon any remaining structures. So they were not built the Incas or Aztecs or whatnot, but by an extinct people of who we know next to nothing and of whom we appear to have no evidence other than these walls and other stone structures.

Okay, so I set out to debunk this story, thinking that in this day and age there must be a vast amount of information and archeological evidence that offers perfectly rational reasons for the existence of these structures and demonstrations of how they were created. I was wrong.

The deeper you dig the more mysterious they become. Now I dont buy into the argument that these structures were built by some ancient civilization 12 thousand years ago using some arcane technology which we haven't been able to duplicate. Its possible, but its just speculation and we have no proof. But it does appear that no one can offer an alterative reasonable explanation without resorting to speculation and flimsy evidence. The traditional efforts to attribute these structures to the Incas, etc, who used time, brute labor and primitive tools to create such structures is academically flawed at best and intellectually fraudulent at worse. From what I have seen and read those guys are not much better than those offering "Lost Ancient civilization and technology" as an explanation.

My reluctant conclusion is it will remain a complete mystery until sufficient rigorous investigative research is undertaken. What surprises me the most though is that an extensive, systematic, peer reviewed collaboration of thorough research aimed at solving this mystery does not appear to have taken place yet.

This man knew. He said he new how the Egyptians build the pyramids, and I assume he used the same methods or something similar to build Coral Castle.

A shame he didn't leave notes. They tried to "repair" the 9 ton revolving front door that a child can open with 1 hand, only to ruin the entire thing. I don't even know what they were trying to fix DESU. I think maybe they just wanted to take it apart to see how it worked and broke it.
