Could Ancient Peruvians Really Know How To Melt Stone Blocks..
Brian Fawcett tells the following anecdote in the footnotes of his father’s book: A friend of his who worked at a mining site at 14,000 feet in Cerro de Pasco, Central Peru, uncovered a jar in an Incan or pre-Incan tomb.
He shattered the still-intact old wax seal when he opened the jar, mistaking it for chicha, an alcoholic beverage. Later, the pot was accidentally tipped over and landed on a rock.
“About 10 minutes later, I crouched over the rock and looked blankly at the spilled liquid,” Fawcett explained. It was no longer liquid, and the entire area where it was and the rock beneath it had become as mushy as wet cement! It seemed as though the stone had melted like wax when exposed to heat.”
Fawcett believes the plant may be found around the Pyrene River’s Chuncho area, with a reddish-brown leaf and a height of about afoot.
Another testimony comes from a researcher studying a rare Amazonian bird. He watched as she brushed a twig on the rock to create a nest. The fluid from the twig melts the rock, allowing the bird to build its nest through it.
Some may find it difficult to imagine that ancient Peruvians could have constructed such magnificent temples as Sacshuhuamán utilizing plant juice. Today, archaeologists and scientists are mystified as to how such gigantic structures were erected in Peru and other parts of the world.
