This technique is exactly how the buildings managed to survive for so long. It prevents the building’s members from shifting when/if the ground shifts in an earthquake or other tectonic shift. The lack of accounting for these shifts is a massive reason why “normal” (aka modern) construction is so prone to collapse (just look at that building in Florida which collapsed a couple years back. The ground shifted and the building came with it)
Besides the mastery over construction and building knowledge that this technique shows, it also represents a mastery over matter that beggars an explanation. Some of these large stones are tens of thousands of TONS in weight. To either have “fit” them together, or purposefully shaped them as such AND THEN ASSEMBLE THEM TOGETHER is beyond the capabilities of even the most advanced modern construction efforts.
As a funny user once said, “if rulers could build structures like this with slaves and gold we would be surrounded by megaliths to Coca-Cola and Facebook”
what about the idea that they were poured in place?
The first pump capable of moving concrete was invented in 1930.
Saying “these structures were poured, not quarried” doesn’t actually answer any important questions. Nor is there evidence for it.
it's the Davidovits geoplymer theory, been around for a while https://www.geopolymer.org/faq/faq-for-artificial-stone-supporters/
