peter kolosimo says , we are forced to conclude, therefore that the ancient Americans had lifting devices of at least equal efficiency to those of modern times but where these stones lifted into place
or were they???
. From the book technology of the gods, by David Hatcher Childress.
A Hiram Bingham, the discoverer of Machu picchu, wrote in his book, across south America, of a plant he had heard of whose juices softened rock so that I could be worked into tightly fitted masonary and the surfaces could join perfectl
. There are reports of such a plant, including this one by one of the early Spanish Chroniclers: While encamped by a rocky river, he watched a bird with a leaf in its beak light on a rock, lay down the leaf and peck at it. The next day the bird returned. By then there was a concavity where the leaf had been. By this method the bird created a drinking cup to catch the splashing waters of the river.
A colonel Fawcett
told of how he had heard of how stones were fitted together by means of a liquid that softened stone to the consistency of clay. brain Fawcett, who edited his fathers book, mentions a friend who worked at a mining camp at 14,000 feet at cero di pasco in central Peru discovered a jar in an Incan or pre-Incan grave. He opened the jar thinking it was chichi, an alcoholic drink, accidentally knocking the jar over onto a rock.
Quotes Fawcett,
about ten minutes I lent over the rock and casually examined the pool of spilled liquid, it was no longer liquid, and the patch where it was spilled was now like a patch of wet cement. It was as if the stone had melted, like wax, under the influence of heat.
The liquid was kept in a clay vase with a lid. It may react to air. (That’s why super glue doesn’t stick to the inside to the container as it sets when in contact with air)
w, Raymond drake mentions that when two men approached two Indians with some of this liquid, they tried to make them drink it which they refused even with a gun to their heads.
(I wonder if the nutrients from the soil affect the plants and this is the same kind of chemical make-up in the rocks nearby and it’s this that helps to solidify the rocks.)
From the book eternal man by pauwels and berger. Authers of the best selling book the morning of the magicianS.
in 1965 a dr bergrose rediscovered a gold plating technique that is unknown today. The object to be gold plated is covered with a copper and gold alloy then it is hammered and heated. The copper turns into an oxide that dissolves in a vegetable acid, than sap of oxalis pubescens,
the layer of gold remains. This technique is simpler than the method of amalgam or electrolysis
the plant shows up here also for melting stones
