This week we are joined by alternative, ancient history researcher Phil Corbett.

Phil is part of a large team of investigators trying to piece together our ancient past, so we can’t wait to tap into his experience. Megalithic architecture, construction techniques, archaeoacoustics, lost technologies and even the enigmatic ‘nubs’ could all be on the menu for this one!

From the web...

Nubs:

The ‘nub’ phenomena is a term used to describe the protruding knobs or bumps that are found on many ancient stone blocks and structures around the world. Some researchers have suggested that these nubs were used for various purposes, such as lifting, aligning, or locking the stones together. Others have argued that they are simply the remnants of the stone-cutting process, or that they have no functional significance at all.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the nub phenomena is that it appears across different cultures and continents, from Egypt to Peru, from Turkey to Cambodia. This has led some to speculate that there was a common source of knowledge or influence behind these ancient civilizations, or that they were somehow connected by a 'stone language’. The nub phenomena remains a mystery to this day.

 

Baalbek:

According to the web search results, the heaviest carved stone in the world is a manmade block that was found in a limestone quarry in Baalbek, Lebanon. It measures 64 feet by 19.6 feet by 18 feet, and weighs an estimated 1,650 tons. It is believed to date back to around 27 BC, when Baalbek was a Roman outpost called Heliopolis. The block was probably intended for use in a nearby temple for the god Jupiter, but it was never used, likely because it was too big to transport. It is the largest boulder known from antiquity.

 

Sacsayhuaman:

The walls of Sacsayhuaman are very impressive and puzzling. Some people have suggested that the Inca had some advanced knowledge or technology that allowed them to carve and fit the stones so precisely. Others have proposed that the walls were built by an older and more advanced civilization, such as the Atlanteans or aliens. However, most archaeologists and historians believe that the Inca were capable of creating the walls with their own skills and tools. 

The exact methods and techniques that the Inca used to carve and transport the stones are still unknown.
