For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, reduced clay models of stone blocks and a 3D-pantograph, as well as a topography translator. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v5).

The fleet did not »spare parts of Bomarsund Castle«! On the contrary, the land troops proceeded to demolish the castle with explosives, intending to make rebuilding impossible… According to both Swedish and Norwegian records, not only were the walls demolished, but the stones were taken away to be used elsewhere.
It doesn't look like an ancient polygonal site to me, clearly looks like a war fortification. Definately impressive masonry, must be easier to do polygonal masonry than we had thought.
I've been there couple of times myself.I used to visit Aland Islands every year, sometimes multiple times a year. They are hexagonal because that way the fortress is stronger. Whenever a stone is hit with a cannonball etc., the whole wall does not fall down, because of the hexagonal shape of the stones and how they are placed. There are several stones in the wall that are hit with a cannonball & just a single stone is broken, the rest of the wall is still standing. The History of Bomarsund The fortress of Bomarsund was once the most magnificent structure on the Åland islands. The fortress was originally constructed by the Russian military as an important outpost to the west. The fortress was destroyed during the Crimean War in 1854. Today, the ruins at Bomarsund tell of a large fortified area for which many great expectations were held. After Finland, including Åland, had been ceded to Russia as part of the Treaty of Fredrikshamn in 1809, the Russians began making plans for Bomarsund located just on the border between the main island and the northeast archipelago. Construction of the main fortress, which was the showpiece of the fortress complex and the largest structure ever to have been built on Åland, began in 1832. The fortress complex also included three fortified towers. Apart from functioning as a defensive structure, the main fortress housed the Russian garrison of Åland as well as the commandant’s offices. Thousands of soldiers were intended to be housed here. A townlike settlement eventually grew up around the fortress. This community, which was made up of civilian and military households alike, was called Skarpans. However, it all came to an end in August 1854 when the half-finished fortress was attacked by British and French forces. For four days enemy ships bombarded the fortress with cannon fire. On the 16th of August the fortress commandant surrendered and some 2 000 men were brought to England and France as prisoners of war. On September 2nd the main fortress was destroyed. Following the end of the Crimean War, the Åland islands were demilitarised in 1856. As a consequence, the fortress was never rebuilt. Today the area is a historical monument, covering some 870 hectares and easily accessible to visitors.
I don't think that wall is very old. Several clues, like it's too narrow to stand alone, but it is buttressed only by recent construction; it's not shaped or located like an ancient fort, but it is shaped and located like a more recent fort.
As a Finn, it would be really awesome if we found some truly ancient structures here, since most of the archaeological finds made in Finland are small everyday-items that are just a few hundred years old. Maybe there are or have been some ancient constructions which are badly eroded and are unrecognizable now and possibly some were destroyed. I haven't yet visited the Bomarsund fortress myself but I've seen some pictures of the walls and I am quite sure the Russians built the place in the 19th century - the stones are not huge, several-ton slabs and are somewhat crudely cut, as opposed to those found in Egypt and Peru. Also, with 19th century tools, I think it would have been very possible to construct. Though there might have been an older fortress at the location, there isn't any information of such anywhere. Looks like there isn't a Wikipedia-page of the fortress in English yet, but there is in Finnish and in other Nordic languages plus in French and German, if someone's interested. But I think that Bomarsund would be a good structure to demonstrate what more modern building techniques are/were able to achieve, which makes all the ancient, megalithic structures found around the world look even more astonishing.
I strongly disagree! The real stones are pretty massive, the " repair work should not be looked at" only the real ones. No the russians didn't build this castle, they found it and built some clumsy stonework behind. Go there, and you'll see for yourself!

I just shared this with my son, who has traveled more in his 29 years than anyone (not escaping some regime or in the armed forces) asking him if he has been to Finland yet as this would be a good reason to go. I don't quite understand what is happening with your site. I have heard of others who rebroadcast a prior broadcast. It seems as though you should be able to copyright you're shows. RUclips should be held to some type of standard of privileged use of content shown on their channel as part of the contract you signed with them.
The intramorous fort in manila is of similar construction stone walls and foundations although more rectangylar in shape in most stones. The eddystone lighthouse are also made of interlocking granite blocks which are more complex than sachysyhuaman.
The first caption in the video mentions Switzerland, because most Americans cannot tell the difference between Switzerland and Sweden. The fact that these ruins are in Finland shows that whoever made this video had an idea that Sweden had occupied Finland for centuries and considered it part of their country (after all, Finland is the Swedish name for the country, it's Suomi in Finnish).
Considering over 70% of Canada is mountains and forest... I have a really good feeling that soon megalithic sites will be found. We have already found the world oldest civilization on prince edward island.
The polygonal construction is highly resistant to damage from earthquakes. The varied sizes and shapes of the polygons would help to dissipate the stress waves coming up from the ground. This has been determined threw computer modeling. Ideas of reintroducing this style of construction have had to be abandoned. Because the arts of stonecutting and placement of the polygons was lost as you have said in very ancient times. Attempts to form the polygons out of reinforced concrete were unsuccessful because they shatter when exposed to the stresses from earthquakes. To me me the great question is, why was this type of very difficult construction used worldwide, including in areas that have little to no problems with earthquakes? There is a story from extremely Ancient Egypt that might offer a clue. According to the story there was once an immense serpent demon by the name of Typhon that lived deep within the Earth. Its constant writhings was beginning to break up the crust of the Earth and there was a real danger this would end up making all life on the planet impossible. So two of the Neteru (Their name for themselves. They never referred to themselves as deities.) the brothers Osiris and Seth journeyed deep into the Earth and killed Typhon. Things settled down then insuring life would continue to be possible. However, there would always continue to be occasionally earthquakes along the faults in the crust which had already been created. These particular Egyptians already knew about tectonic plates and where earthquakes are most likely to occur and why. They did not differentiate between science and spirituality because they were one and the same thing to them. All of this is absolutely fascinating to me!
Oh what I've been willing to sacrifice to see that building when it was new. What a massive art of work! Oh well, guess I have to return there in my next life. How do I mark this on my soul agenda?!
If I had to build that (or anything with lots of big stones), I would cut the stones round at the quarry, roll them to the site, then trim them to fit. No need for sleds, armies of slaves, or stone age sci-fi technologies.
look at the window at 1:28 , now look at the stones for the rest of the wall. Do you think someone who can make such fine masenory can not produce hexagonal pieces. Realy?
I remember going there as a kid and thinking this doesn´t quite match with what I had thought of history. While its not 100% top quality megalithic site there´s something there that is lost to history. None of the other medieval construction and later is like that in the region. Only the Baltic sea anomaly which I interpret as looking megalithic, is somewhere north from here, I don´t expect much more than 100 km.
Some how it made me think that these rocks were made not cut from the rock, everything is so perfect, it can't be cut directly from the rock mountain for rock mountain are never found in one whole piece. Even with modern tool you cannot cut that accurate pieces but you can mould one like them. Our ancestors were master in these rock building structure only not in other field.
The bottom blocks have four corners showing! The next row up has five corners showing! Then the blocks repeat, six, six, six, six etc... what could this mean? 4,5,6,6,6,6...
You know having nothing but time on there hands they used primitive stone axes and stone chisels to carve each large stone a fitting shape to play ancient legos just to take hundreds of years to complete one lower section of wall! That makes sense in ancient terms right?
My only hope is that these ancient sites can be studied by archeologists before vandals spray paint and destroy them, because, punks be punks, you know.

By the way there is no such place called Oola. The war in question is so called "Oolannin sota" which was in Åland (in Swedish) or in Ahvenanmaa (in Finnish) or in Oolanti (in Finnish). So you should be using either Åland or Ahvenamaa instead of Oola (which doesn¨t exist).
@@Kehvan IDK but I just looked at ~150 pictures of columnar features and (aside from weathering) they all seemed pretty uniform in color. Is there a local source of such rock? The advantage of using a columnar quarry is that the stones would be pre-fitted, but surely the color doesn't change so dramatically and consistently from one column to the next. So these stones must have been cut, even if they started out columnar.
Called Äland. I understand it’s pronounced “O-LAND” My mother’s from there. She went back this Summer. I’m going myself for 3 weeks this coming June. I’ve not been there since I was 3 years old.

VERY interesting! Never seen this before! I guess Peru didn't have it all. Not only polygonal, but hexagonal! Chicken wire! Absolutely amazing!Thanks! Keep it up!
It's about time the Fins started flapping their font for us. And don't be shy! It sounds scientific to say polygonal masonry, but don't be afraid to say honeycomb technology.
The outer stone acts as a strong shield while the bricks act as a shock absorber. Bricks would be pulverized if hit with cannon balls. The intramorous in manila is also made in the same way only most ate rectangular blocks. eddystone lighthouse are actually more complex and inteelicking granite was used
recently i have begun to think that there were 2 civilizations that existed with the Indian that was in the Sacred writings. Siberia and China have some very weird structures that are megalithic. The old harapan civilization used bricks rather than stone but they were fighting others in the scriptures. I know its a religious book but if we use the bible as accurate then so should we use the others. China has hidden most of their sites from the west but siberia has just begun to let the west see what they have. It would be worth looking for the central location, capital if you will, in siberia. Radar and Lidar should do it, but maybe they have already and we just dont know...
The rolex building in dallas has a polygonal masonry wall though the quality is much lower since only one japanese stone mason is leading the work on un experieced workers
"masonry escapes modern ability and explanation"... you're kidding, right? you know how easy it is to make polygonal stoneslabs with modern tools? really easy. There has however, not been a need for people to work stone into fortified walls in centuries, so some masonry knowledge has been lost in that regard. The gist of it however is as plain as day: get a quarry, cut rocks, shape rocks to fit, stack rocks into a wall. Proper fitting and polishing produces a wall with smooth and good fit.
Your first sentence is exactly what I was going to say. You don't even need very modern tools to shape it like that. There's tons of it laying around where we live that's naturally shaped that way. People use it for patio stones and landscaping. Some stones are more than 6 ft. before their's a break, others are relatively small. I was under the impression they're a result of volcanic activity.
At the start of this video is a scene that appears to have 3 pyramids in a snowy setting...is that a photoshopped image, or a real image from a location that does exist? If is does exist a highly compelling video on that would be good
What's so mystifying? Just another outpost of the pre-cataclysmic, worldwide Atlantean civilization that you postulated about recently. A theory I agree with. Mystery solved.
Well as always I enjoy mystery Histories videos but personally I don't believe anybody spared anything for any reason.... however..... I find it extremely interesting and mind-boggling that people in the past built such awesome megaliths!!!
We are squatting in someone else's ruins. Who they were and where they went we do not know. Do you know how many calories you would have to consume to work like that! Our bricklayers on 3000 cal can lay small fired clay bricks.
@@mukhumor of course they also used copper and bronz chiesels but mostly steel was used since it is much faster . Copper and bronze chiesels are used for fine details and sharp corners to prevent the stone from cracking since it only removes stones little by little. Steel or iron is uses to remove large chunks but copper can also do it on a much linger time. You can actually buy copper and bronze chiesels online and test it yourself. Why would we have copper and bronze chiesels if not for shaping stones. Duh
some thoughts. i give this video an F. why. recent history is discussed at length, as if it is somehow RELEVANT to the topic of polygonal masonry. IT AIN'T. cheers googletranslate
Mystery History yo obtain great photographs of all these sights your videos show. Compliments to you. The ancient builders using polygonal construction is artful. Also functional because of longevity. How will we ever know who they were? Did they survive the world deluge? Also did they form the rocks by casting or cutting? Amazing, did they intend to hide their methods? I really wish I knew the answers because it's so interesting. I think...... this is pre flood nephilim building based upon high knowledge related by fallen angels. We're there wars between factions? Could have been. There's an interesting theory Lucifer gathered together angels with him that oversaw planets, to overthrow GOD. There was war after they amassed interdimentional war machines. Some of these craft survived and this technology survived and angelic/human offspring enter our dimensional world and are classified as unidentified flying objects. I've seen strange orange lighted air craft rising from the Atlantic Ocean one after another then being invisible with no sound resonating from them at all from first appearance. What are they doing? Why are they here? Beats me? Eerie though.
Your theory doesn't explain the giant blocks of stone that the ancients used. I search for gravity walls and I see puny little hollow blocks being filled with dirt and used as retaining walls. That is not even close to what we see from the ancient builders who used stone blocks weighing many tons each and on a megalithic scale.
Steve Maddox - no, if that is all you are finding something is not right. Give me a little bit and I’ll get you an exact site that demonstrates what I am talking about. And I am not saying all ancient mega structures are built this way, just that we have a relatively new building technology that makes things that look exactly the same only smaller. It is new for us, the ancient builders were clearly far more advanced than we are today! Cheers
I think the content you display in your videos is intriguing and I like your channel but I don't see what is so perplexing about historical polygonal masonry.... Some of the giant stone masonry we see around the world and the accuracy with which they are mated together is indeed impressive but I don't think it is beyond the capability of ancient civilizations to construct such structures. If you know anything about metallurgy you will know that copper can easily be work hardened to a point where it will be harder than a high speed steel drill used for drilling steel and is capable of working even the toughest granites and basalts. As for fit accuracy creating wooden templates to transpose contours from one stone to another is a simple masonry technique. Also there have been many modern demonstrations of people moving huge many ton stones with only primitive wooden equipment. Aside from your claims that the builders were "highly advanced" whatever that means, I agree that a lot of the sites you present likely are re-purposed from much older constructions. I do find some of your hypotheses highly compelling.... ;-)
No one doubts that mortal humans with crude tools built Chartres, so I don't see why anyone suspects "advanced" people from a hypothetical past built these structures. The pyramids for instance are literally big stacks of rocks. Chartres displays 100 times more advanced engineering and stoneworking than the pyramids, and 10,000 times more than Stonehenge. (And any Wal-Mart demonstrates far more impressive technologies.) Our stone age ancestors were good at stonework. Go figure.

I just shared this with my son, who has traveled more in his 29 years than anyone (not escaping some regime or in the armed forces) asking him if he has been to Finland yet as this would be a good reason to go. I don't quite understand what is happening with your site. I have heard of others who rebroadcast a prior broadcast. It seems as though you should be able to copyright you're shows. RUclips should be held to some type of standard of privileged use of content shown on their channel as part of the contract you signed with them.
The intramorous fort in manila is of similar construction stone walls and foundations although more rectangylar in shape in most stones. The eddystone lighthouse are also made of interlocking granite blocks which are more complex than sachysyhuaman.
The first caption in the video mentions Switzerland, because most Americans cannot tell the difference between Switzerland and Sweden. The fact that these ruins are in Finland shows that whoever made this video had an idea that Sweden had occupied Finland for centuries and considered it part of their country (after all, Finland is the Swedish name for the country, it's Suomi in Finnish).
Considering over 70% of Canada is mountains and forest... I have a really good feeling that soon megalithic sites will be found.
We have already found the world oldest civilization on prince edward island.
Oh now I'm pissed off I'm not getting notified .....PooTube gatekeepers better not mess with one of my fav channels ..
The polygonal construction is highly resistant to damage from earthquakes. The varied sizes and shapes of the polygons would help to dissipate the stress waves coming up from the ground. This has been determined threw computer modeling. Ideas of reintroducing this style of construction have had to be abandoned. Because the arts of stonecutting and placement of the polygons was lost as you have said in very ancient times. Attempts to form the polygons out of reinforced concrete were unsuccessful because they shatter when exposed to the stresses from earthquakes.
To me me the great question is, why was this type of very difficult construction used worldwide, including in areas that have little to no problems with earthquakes?
There is a story from extremely Ancient Egypt that might offer a clue. According to the story there was once an immense serpent demon by the name of Typhon that lived deep within the Earth. Its constant writhings was beginning to break up the crust of the Earth and there was a real danger this would end up making all life on the planet impossible. So two of the Neteru (Their name for themselves. They never referred to themselves as deities.) the brothers Osiris and Seth journeyed deep into the Earth and killed Typhon. Things settled down then insuring life would continue to be possible. However, there would always continue to be occasionally earthquakes along the faults in the crust which had already been created. These particular Egyptians already knew about tectonic plates and where earthquakes are most likely to occur and why. They did not differentiate between science and spirituality because they were one and the same thing to them. All of this is absolutely fascinating to me!
Oh what I've been willing to sacrifice to see that building when it was new. What a massive art of work! Oh well, guess I have to return there in my next life. How do I mark this on my soul agenda?!
What the hell is going on?
Cnn said Russians hacked the first video 😂
History is a flat lie. All wars have the same lineage of benofactors. War is money.
Ah, hi there. It seems you’re just waking up. Welcome.
That's what we're trying to find out. :)
Bomarsund is located northwest of Prästö,Finland and a main road cuts through the middle of where the actual fortress once stood.
If I had to build that (or anything with lots of big stones), I would cut the stones round at the quarry, roll them to the site, then trim them to fit. No need for sleds, armies of slaves, or stone age sci-fi technologies.
The polygonal stones look like pottery clay which have been shaped not by cutting.
They looked at the construction of natural Beehives and thought, yep, that's smart. Nature, the finest teacher..
There are also many legends of giants building churches and other buildings in Finland.
look at the window at 1:28 , now look at the stones for the rest of the wall. Do you think someone who can make such fine masenory can not produce hexagonal pieces. Realy?
I remember going there as a kid and thinking this doesn´t quite match with what I had thought of history. While its not 100% top quality megalithic site there´s something there that is lost to history. None of the other medieval construction and later is like that in the region. Only the Baltic sea anomaly which I interpret as looking megalithic, is somewhere north from here, I don´t expect much more than 100 km.
Some how it made me think that these rocks were made not cut from the rock, everything is so perfect, it can't be cut directly from the rock mountain for rock mountain are never found in one whole piece.
Even with modern tool you cannot cut that accurate pieces but you can mould one like them.
Our ancestors were master in these rock building structure only not in other field.
The eddystone lighthousea are made with complex interlocking granite blocks uaing hammer and chiesel. Never underestimate the skill of craftsmen
The bottom blocks have four corners showing! The next row up has five corners showing! Then the blocks repeat, six, six, six, six etc... what could this mean? 4,5,6,6,6,6...
You know having nothing but time on there hands they used primitive stone axes and stone chisels to carve each large stone a fitting shape to play ancient legos just to take hundreds of years to complete one lower section of wall! That makes sense in ancient terms right?
You need to check again, Two different 10 second ads came on this video
I find this channel... highly compelling.
My only hope is that these ancient sites can be studied by archeologists before vandals spray paint and destroy them, because, punks be punks, you know.
... predeluvian ...
Just observe your own surroundings ... Science tries to explain it ...
P.S. ...
Great job at redoing this vid so quickly! !!
Only minutes .... no more swedish/swiss comment chaos
I visited that when I was 10 I think.
also we build that thing, cos finland is just so great that we can build pentagon fortress before america build theirs and they only have one pentagon on it. arent we great, we are so great.
This type of stone work is in the streets here all over Helsinki.
As in Kallio, near the fire station and Bear Park...+
By the way there is no such place called Oola. The war in question is so called "Oolannin sota" which was in Åland (in Swedish) or in Ahvenanmaa (in Finnish) or in Oolanti (in Finnish). So you should be using either Åland or Ahvenamaa instead of Oola (which doesn¨t exist).
I think he is saying "Åland" but he doesn't know how to pronounce 'Å'. Most Americans don't know how to say 'Å', 'Ä', or 'Ö'.
Looks like volcanic columnar jointing. Given the propensity of the Nords to run off to Iceland, columnar jointing is a safe bet.
It really does, but to my mind the the multiple colors of the stones suggests multiple quarries. Do natural columnar features come in Technicolor?
@@twirlipofthemists3201, the nature of volcanoes can result in columnar jointing in a variety of materials, thus a variety of colors.
@@Kehvan IDK but I just looked at ~150 pictures of columnar features and (aside from weathering) they all seemed pretty uniform in color.
Is there a local source of such rock?
The advantage of using a columnar quarry is that the stones would be pre-fitted, but surely the color doesn't change so dramatically and consistently from one column to the next. So these stones must have been cut, even if they started out columnar.
@@twirlipofthemists3201, as for a local source, no... not in Sweden, but those people were well know for their boat trips.
0:23 Bomarsund is in Finland, right? The subtext says Switzerland! What’s up with that?
Called Äland. I understand it’s pronounced “O-LAND”
My mother’s from there. She went back this Summer. I’m going myself for 3 weeks this coming June. I’ve not been there since I was 3 years old. Now 53 yrs old. I thought I’d go again while I’m still young enough and still incredibly handsome , hoping to run into ABBA. Who knows?
Called Åland.
Everybody speaks Swedish
VERY interesting! Never seen this before! I guess Peru didn't have it all. Not only polygonal, but hexagonal! Chicken wire! Absolutely amazing!Thanks! Keep it up!
🖖🏻🗿tHANK yOU🗿🖖🏻
It's about time the Fins started flapping their font for us.
And don't be shy! It sounds scientific to say polygonal masonry,
but don't be afraid to say honeycomb technology.
And if it was really built in the 1800's, why are small bricks used in some areas and large stones in others.
It wasn't built in the 1800's, it was "rebuilt" with something new stuff. The old parts have always been there, according to the locals...
The outer stone acts as a strong shield while the bricks act as a shock absorber. Bricks would be pulverized if hit with cannon balls. The intramorous in manila is also made in the same way only most ate rectangular blocks. eddystone lighthouse are actually more complex and inteelicking granite was used
Good looks! About time I have seen something on youtube that hasnt been covered a hundred times over!
They were mortared by the use of some kind of ancient mold and then erected by giants. Research "cyclopean masonry".
Come on, that is modern construction, you can even see the chiselmarks on that sandstone
Hypothesize = making a wild ass guess.
recently i have begun to think that there were 2 civilizations that existed with the Indian that was in the Sacred writings. Siberia and China have some very weird structures that are megalithic. The old harapan civilization used bricks rather than stone but they were fighting others in the scriptures. I know its a religious book but if we use the bible as accurate then so should we use the others. China has hidden most of their sites from the west but siberia has just begun to let the west see what they have. It would be worth looking for the central location, capital if you will, in siberia. Radar and Lidar should do it, but maybe they have already and we just dont know...
So when are you going to write your book?
Great video, it's a shame this lost knowledge has been suppressed with your help the world is learning thank you 👍
Whoa...you keep blowing my mind...so intriguing!!
I see flowers all over these walls.
Switzerland? That is Aland Islands in the Baltic sea.
Love the polygonal stonework, so stunning, so brilliant!! Just wish we made stuff like this these days!!
The rolex building in dallas has a polygonal masonry wall though the quality is much lower since only one japanese stone mason is leading the work on un experieced workers
Wow how do you manage to keep finding all these places thanks stay safe
"masonry escapes modern ability and explanation"... you're kidding, right? you know how easy it is to make polygonal stoneslabs with modern tools? really easy.
There has however, not been a need for people to work stone into fortified walls in centuries, so some masonry knowledge has been lost in that regard. The gist of it however is as plain as day: get a quarry, cut rocks, shape rocks to fit, stack rocks into a wall. Proper fitting and polishing produces a wall with smooth and good fit.
Your first sentence is exactly what I was going to say. You don't even need very modern tools to shape it like that. There's tons of it laying around where we live that's naturally shaped that way. People use it for patio stones and landscaping. Some stones are more than 6 ft. before their's a break, others are relatively small. I was under the impression they're a result of volcanic activity.
It doesn't look "Finnished" Bwahahahaha!!! Thats a joke right thar'...
Der Name der verlorenen Technologie heißt: harte körperliche Arbeit!:)
One of the many structures of Ãd
At the start of this video is a scene that appears to have 3 pyramids in a snowy setting...is that a photoshopped image, or a real image from a location that does exist? If is does exist a highly compelling video on that would be good
What's so mystifying? Just another outpost of the pre-cataclysmic, worldwide Atlantean civilization that you postulated about recently. A theory I agree with. Mystery solved.
Well as always I enjoy mystery Histories videos but personally I don't believe anybody spared anything for any reason.... however..... I find it extremely interesting and mind-boggling that people in the past built such awesome megaliths!!!
Where did all the broken walls go?
Quarried for houses
We are squatting in someone else's ruins. Who they were and where they went we do not know. Do you know how many calories you would have to consume to work like that! Our bricklayers on 3000 cal can lay small fired clay bricks.
the eddystone lighthouses built in the 1800's was made of interlocking granite
More complex in shape than sachsyhuaman
@@JL-tm3rc Yeah it's great. I think they had metal tools by 1800. When the Spanish arrived in South America the natives were using onyx knives.
@@mukhumor the inca have bronze and copper chiesels which can shape those stones how come you are not aware of these metals being used by the inca
@@JL-tm3rc Oh yes the old copper and bronze chisels. 😄 I imagine Eddystone was built with some kind of ferrous metal. Don't you?
@@mukhumor of course they also used copper and bronz chiesels but mostly steel was used since it is much faster . Copper and bronze chiesels are used for fine details and sharp corners to prevent the stone from cracking since it only removes stones little by little. Steel or iron is uses to remove large chunks but copper can also do it on a much linger time. You can actually buy copper and bronze chiesels online and test it yourself. Why would we have copper and bronze chiesels if not for shaping stones. Duh
Is it lost tech or merely the fact that we've moved on to simpler less labour intensive masonry practices? Really cool though!
Fortress, Star Fort...why does it have to be a "fort", a "church", a "temple, a "tomb"? These are watchwords. Supplement; Municipal Power Station.
Amazing. Thanks for your research. Never had heard of this place. Poligonal technic for sure. The dots are connecting
its a maya structure, . hence, cannons... the spanish took it?
Like they did the same in peru..
not megalithic.
edit: how did this end up in finland?
Switzerland is not Sweden...
Lol, did you confuse Switzerland and Finland??
No because this one is found in Finland.
@@niceview2112 kaljoo ja makkaroooo
Aland is an island group off the Finnish coast.
so wild and incredible how they made those stones fit like that. REALLY makes u wonder how they did it!
oh is this a double post ? same video, different title ...
0:24 Switzerland, what the hell?
Here to get my fix from strange mysteries' absence
some thoughts. i give this video an F. why. recent history is discussed at length, as if it is somehow RELEVANT to the topic of polygonal masonry. IT AIN'T. cheers googletranslate
Mystery History yo obtain great photographs of all these sights your videos show. Compliments to you.
The ancient builders using polygonal construction is artful. Also functional because of longevity. How will we ever know who they were? Did they survive the world deluge? Also did they form the rocks by casting or cutting? Amazing, did they intend to hide their methods? I really wish I knew the answers because it's so interesting.
I think...... this is pre flood nephilim building based upon high knowledge related by fallen angels. We're there wars between factions? Could have been.
There's an interesting theory Lucifer gathered together angels with him that oversaw planets, to overthrow GOD. There was war after they amassed interdimentional war machines. Some of these craft survived and this technology survived and angelic/human offspring enter our dimensional world and are classified as unidentified flying objects. I've seen strange orange lighted air craft rising from the Atlantic Ocean one after another then being invisible with no sound resonating from them at all from first appearance. What are they doing? Why are they here? Beats me? Eerie though.
On your photo caption it says "Bomarsund Fortress Switzerland" , it shoud say Bomarsund Fortress Finland!!!!!
People look up Gravity walls!!!!! We build this stuff today!! Just not as big!!
And I promise you they are lying about it’s distruction!!
Cheers
Your theory doesn't explain the giant blocks of stone that the ancients used. I search for gravity walls and I see puny little hollow blocks being filled with dirt and used as retaining walls. That is not even close to what we see from the ancient builders who used stone blocks weighing many tons each and on a megalithic scale.
Steve Maddox - no, if that is all you are finding something is not right. Give me a little bit and I’ll get you an exact site that demonstrates what I am talking about. And I am not saying all ancient mega structures are built this way, just that we have a relatively new building technology that makes things that look exactly the same only smaller. It is new for us, the ancient builders were clearly far more advanced than we are today!
Cheers
Thanks Don!
I think the content you display in your videos is intriguing and I like your channel but I don't see what is so perplexing about historical polygonal masonry....
Some of the giant stone masonry we see around the world and the accuracy with which they are mated together is indeed impressive but I don't think it is beyond the capability of ancient civilizations to construct such structures.
If you know anything about metallurgy you will know that copper can easily be work hardened to a point where it will be harder than a high speed steel drill used for drilling steel and is capable of working even the toughest granites and basalts.
As for fit accuracy creating wooden templates to transpose contours from one stone to another is a simple masonry technique.
Also there have been many modern demonstrations of people moving huge many ton stones with only primitive wooden equipment.
Aside from your claims that the builders were "highly advanced" whatever that means, I agree that a lot of the sites you present likely are re-purposed from much older constructions. I do find some of your hypotheses highly compelling.... ;-)
No one doubts that mortal humans with crude tools built Chartres, so I don't see why anyone suspects "advanced" people from a hypothetical past built these structures. The pyramids for instance are literally big stacks of rocks. Chartres displays 100 times more advanced engineering and stoneworking than the pyramids, and 10,000 times more than Stonehenge. (And any Wal-Mart demonstrates far more impressive technologies.)
Our stone age ancestors were good at stonework. Go figure.
This stuff truly looks like it was built upon by something later!!!
Nice 'ufo' @ 3.30 caught my eye anyway
Before i watch this video i have a funny feeling that is going to be " highly compelling " ......😀
Nice! Academia, what he say?
life to sort for Mason people, i mean to sort for them
Looks like blacksmiths. Art of Valloons with touch of rom empire
Built by the russians, obsolete and destroyed before it wa completed, by the french and brittish navy i think. Been there loads of times
That is amazing!
Thats it???
Only 3:53 Minutes???
I wish your videos were longer.
Thanks
What's lost we're looking right at it.
Saturn blocks!
Obviously carved stone. Not Megalithic. Copies.
what bumf this is.
Sweden built it
