The stone nubs are found across the ancient megalithic structure building world, Peru is one place where they are found in abundance. Like this wall I filmed in Cusco City. Nubs everywhere and like Marcell Fóti 🪨 has noted, they always seem to be at the bottom of the... block. His theory about these being fluid drainage points from what was once a liquid-stone-solution is compelling. They are certainly not "lifting points" as the mainstream archeological arena attempts to assert.show more

@FoMaHun If they were "liquidified"/softened/made molten in order to form these forms, the nubs could be little whips from the last point of contact with whatever device was used to create them. They look like contact trails to me... 🤷‍♂️

@FoMaHun And Jay, the reason they are still there is that the wall is unfinished. As are many that remain. Look at the phramid of Menkaure and tell me this isn’t work in progress that was stopped. And the similarity in stonework, makes you think.

@FoMaHun Hmm are there any examples of them Not being on the bottom? I’m curious now

@FoMaHun surely they would be on every block if that were the case?

@FoMaHun The mystery continues...

@FoMaHun Having worked in building and landscaping for most of my life I would question a) how they made the forms and b) why they would pour separate bricks if they had a way to make liquid rock. They would make solid stone walls like we do - if they could pour it.

@TheProjectUnity @FoMaHun Another problem is that every single block is different, meaning you must create unique molds, very time demanding and therefore undoing much of the time saving impetus for creating concrete-like mixes as we do today. Imagine a company had to create a new mold for each block!

@SimonJRBosworth @TheProjectUnity @FoMaHun Great question Bruce, one of the most common critiques. Many thanks to @Weird_Old_World and @mariusderomanu3 I have discovered the repeating, modular form work pattern in the Cusco masonry. Quantifying morphological features such as the nubs as well. Paper on the way🫡

@GenomicSETI @TheProjectUnity @FoMaHun @Weird_Old_World @mariusderomanu3 @ResearchHub @PiRambla @TimothyAlberino @Graham__Hancock @CassieCMartin @MattBeallPod @THEUnLAB what is the image and colour scheme showing us?

@FoMaHun pay attention to the anti nubs... therein lay the answer...

@FoMaHun why wouldn't they grind off the nubs? deburr your shit like a professional

@FoMaHun Your hypothesis suggests that the stones were cast in moulds. If that were the case, would you not expect consistency in size and shape? The irregularity of the blocks goes strongly against them being formed from a liquid.

@FoMaHun They look pretty worn. Any idea what the original shape might have been?

@FoMaHun Its like an injection molding filling point where some are broken off and some are repaired and troweled while wet. Some are left like the got too much trouble to remove.

@FoMaHun The precision of those Cusco walls is unreal! I've heard you can't even slide a piece of paper between the joints. Whatever the nubs were for, that craftsmanship is pure genius 🔥

@FoMaHun I always wondered if they were put there as interlocking devices for other things to be attached to.

@FoMaHun left as attachment points for fascia or adornments, that have since been stripped, looted, or burned off?

@FoMaHun I'm starting to think about lighting fixtures when I look at these nubs

@FoMaHun They certainly don’t look “carved”

@FoMaHun At other sites there are nubs on the very top of the block. Water does not drain upwards.

@FoMaHun yesterday i saw, scrolling x, a picture of b.foerster pointing at the bottom of a 'building block', i guess, with a little stone in it, i wondered if these knobs have such a little stone in it? (maybe a silly thought, i dont know)

@FoMaHun Intriguing. "Let's leave random nubs on our sound formed blocks so we can practice family climbing and in the future people will be debate our reasons and methods"

@FoMaHun My problem with that explanation is why wouldnt they file them off. They had a functional electrical purpose
