<\/p>\n
Sayhuite is a pre-Columbian archaeological site located in Abancay, Peru. This site was dated from the Inca Empire, it is already known that it is much earlier. The Incas used small stones. There is not much left of their time, the Spanish conquerors have ruined everything they could. Only the big stones very hard have resisted until now …<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is also known that the Incas invaded the region around the 15th century AD. They assimilated the local peoples, as everywhere these conquerors imposed themselves, before being conquered by the Spaniards. You have conquered me I love you! sang Alain Bashung. Always the best who go, I watch them leave like a jerk.<\/p>\n Near Abancay is a large batholite<\/a>Greek \u00abbathos\u00bb: depth and \u00ablithos\u00bb: rock<\/span> or discordant massif. It is a mass of intrusive igneous rocks, also called plutonic rocks. They are called intrusive because they do not respect the lines of force of their receiver.<\/p>\n This massif is igneous, that is to say it comes from a volcanic lava hardening.<\/p>\n The batholite of Abancay is a granitic massif of at least 10 km2 whose only contour flush, irregular. The roots are lost in the depths of the earth\u2019s crust. (source) In this granitic massif is the monolith, at the heart of an archaeological site still very little explored.<\/p>\n The site in question does not have a very great archaeological interest because few remains remain on the surface, or they are buried deep and no excavation is possible without traces of an older local civilization, although this is a possibility mentioned by several researchers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The only local interest identified by researchers is this mysterious sculpture named Monolith Sayhuite and, in the surroundings, other large blocks engraved and carved of mysterious structures that have suffered considerable damage and equally unexplained…<\/p>\n On this Sayhuite Monolith are more than 200 carefully engraved drawings of reptiles, felines, crustaceans and frogs, which are surrounded by terraces, ponds, rivers, tunnels and irrigation canals. The exact purpose and meaning behind these features remains a mystery. We will therefore show these structures and talk about the various hypotheses advanced to explain this particular monolith and even the surrounding blocks. (source)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like the monolith, these rocks are made of andesite, a particularly hard rock. A geological study (attached in PDF page 179 and following) seems to prove the nature of the very hard rocks of the Abancay region, a city located 47 km from the site.<\/p>\n Andesite is a volcanic rock named after the Andes. Belonging to the calco-alkaline magma series, it is the most common product of volcanism in subduction zones such as the Caribbean or the Pacific arc and can be explosive and dangerous.<\/p>\n Despite its extreme hardness and dangerousness, the carved stones of the Andes are almost all andesite. Their sometimes impressive size, unique polish, perfect cut and impeccable finish make these Andean megaliths one of the wonders of the world — not of the ancient world, but of the pre-Deluvianus world or even more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This monolith has the merit of asking a host of questions that must be answered. The reader will see here enough photos to allow him to build his own hypotheses. If he wants to write me, I could add his suggestions to this article.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some details are not obvious. The following montage shows more clearly the animal sculptures and the nesting of the architectural elements. One can imagine the amount of work and time spent to make such a sculpture in such a hard rock.<\/p>\n Was this work of major importance to the sculptor and his people? Did he want his message to be passed down through time, centuries, millennia, and who knows? Millions of years…<\/p>\n It\u2019s a testimony of a very advanced culture — our masters? Our creators, perhaps?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another mystery is the presence of a visible symbol on this monolith that looks quite similar to another located in Bolivia, at Samaipata… which is famous for its immense tabular rock arranged with basins and canals dug into the rock that accompany two feline figures, as well as for its side niches, shaped in the same way.<\/p>\n Is this Peruvian monolith the model of a Bolivian site, that of Samaipata? (Pronounce: \u00e7a m\u2019\u00e9pata)<\/p>\n If one does not know his age, “it is known that he was engraved by a pre-Inca people. The Incas conquered the place late and they testified to their discovery.”<\/p>\n \nHow long has the monolith been waiting for them?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The round symbol with frog or lizard of the model of Sayhuite in Peru is identical to the site in full size of Samaipata in Bolivia.<\/p>\n First remark: Sayhuite is pre-inca, if it is a model of Samaipata, the latter is therefore also pre-inca. Like all sites of this type, I want to say. Including Machu Picchu, where the houses in small stones are said to be Inca, but not Inti Watani, the Sun Stone, where we recognize the work of cutting and polishing of pre-Inca works.<\/p>\n Second remark: The animals in the cartridges are neither a lizard nor a frog, but dinosaurs supposed to have disappeared for millions of years. Could it be that the megalithic ruins of the Andes date back to such a distant time?<\/p>\n Without hesitation, I say. Everything proves that it is so. The way in which the Andean rocks are carved, their finish to the incomparable polish given the hardness of the rock, the beauty of the cut patterns… The list would be too long of everything that makes cities of the Andean peaks unusual archaeological sites, out of time, out of ancient and even current know-how.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n No doubt, the site of Samaipata corresponds quite precisely to the model of Peru. Everything is as if the engineers, tailors and masons of an unknown people had needed to test some properties of a future Bolivian site on a reduced model… located in Peru! Why not in Bolivia?<\/p>\n The law of least effort is universal and of all times, so it was easy for this unknown people to travel from one country to another. By making three small jumps over the mountains among the highest in the world?<\/p>\n Before the Incas, there were no roads in the Andes. Why did this unknown people bother to make the model of a future site so far away? Do we think they didn\u2019t need roads to get around? Did they have flying machines? Aircraft? Spacecraft?<\/p>\n Carrying helicopters would also explain the transport of some giant megaliths that a modern crane would have trouble lifting. Or should we consider that these sites were made by Cyclopes? When you are 50m tall, it is enough to be three to overturn the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n I laugh as I imagine the faces of archaeologists reading this. Which of these hypotheses will shock them most? Giant helicopters or 50-meter cyclopes?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The engravings on the Rumihuasi monolith can be described as geometric and consist of steps and\/ or canals.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the Sayhuite monolith contains not only geometric sculptures but also zoomorphic sculptures.\u00a0 Therefore, although it is not the only rock carved in the region, it is undeniably the most unique.<\/p>\n The Sayhuite monolith is about 2 meters long and 4 meters wide.\u00a0 Although the stone can be found today on the elevated platform at the top of Concacha, scientists are not sure where it could have been originally placed.\u00a0<\/p>\n The monolith was not a natural rock outcrop, so it could have been transported there.\u00a0 The rock seems to have been moved, perhaps by looters, once in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n Apart from the question of its original location, researchers are also uncertain as to who made this object.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One hypothesis often advanced to explain the Peruvian monolith and its corresponding Bolivian site is that of rainwater runoff. This view of the monolith with holes is explained by the adjacent diagram, which shows how water from the sky could be collected by the monolith and redistributed further down in the andenes or stepped cultures typical of the Andes.<\/p>\n The name of the Andes comes from the Spanish andenes, which means quays or terraces…<\/p>\n Thus, at the site of Tip\u00f3n, water supply was drilled through the mountain to bring water from several sources. The tunnel is transformed into a forced pipe, with bend-wise flow modulation, demonstrating the most important hydraulic science and irrigation techniques of the builders. But were the Incas who built all this, or did they just put the hydraulic system back into service?\u00a0 At the highest point, Cruzmoqo, which was a military post and a sacred place, mysterious petroglyphs dated 2000 BCE decorate the volcanic rock. (source)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Everywhere, behind the city that the dominant archeology attributes to the Incas alone, the discerning eye spots details that owe them nothing. In my opinion, the whole hydraulic system is part of it. It may have been restored by the Incas, or just maintained as it has since been by indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n But it was designed by Tiki-Viracocha the white bearded god, who had it built by his giant angels for a very special purpose.<\/p>\n \u201cThe site of Tip\u00f3n dates back thousands of years, but its most impressive development took place about 500 years ago, at the height of the Inca nobility\u201d (source) say the archaeologists.\u00a0 I doubt it.<\/p>\n The Incas were certainly clever, but they did not have the scientific and architectural knowledge to design such a hydraulic scheme. Moreover, they did not have the tools to carry out these drilling and tunnels, which seem much older. (read more)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Admire the cut and polish perfection of what are called cupules<\/em> on our European megaliths. These are small cups intended to receive a liquid. Prehistoric holy water? Or something else than water, even blessed? The blood of sacrifice, say some archaeologists who want at all costs to export the current violence in times so far away that the little that comes from them does not have any immediate meaning. All conjectures are possible…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is said that the name \u201cSayhuite\u201d has its origins in the Quechua word \u201csaywayta\u201d, which translates as \u201cplace of orientation\u201d.\u00a0 Located on top of a terraced hill called Concacha, the site once housed a closed sanctuary.\u00a0 All that remains of this sanctuary, which legend says was covered with gold leaf the thickness of a hand, today is its raised platform, on which stands the Sayhuite monolith.<\/p>\n According to some scholars, this site was one of the four sanctuary oracles of Apurimac, also known as the \u00absons\u00bb of Pachacamac.\u00a0 There is, however, currently a lack of archaeological evidence to establish the veracity of this claim (the Spanish having destroyed the sanctuary for (apparently) religious reasons in the 16th century).\u00a0 When the Spanish conquistadors arrived Sayhuite, according to John Hemming in his book Monuments of the Incas, the temple was ruled by the priestess Asarpay who, before being captured, threw herself from a 400-meter high waterfall.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I come back to the precision, the sublime beauty that lies in the apparent uselessness of these stairs of various formats which intersect in the stone below. A fragment, apparently. Or is it a rough draft, a rock on which a young sculptor played his scales before attacking real monuments?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some steps are too small for humans. Made for elves? Others, too big, look like they\u2019re meant for giants. Whoever they are, these people don\u2019t work like us. Do we not understand the trouble they took to carve such a hard rock with no visible purpose?<\/p>\n Did they have the technological tools to cut this hard rock as a knife in butter? The specialists of the past converge on one point: whatever the realization, it was chosen because it was simple to do. The law of least effort characterizes all humanoid peoples, all animal species.<\/p>\n If we choose the difficult path, it is by virtue of a categorical imperative. Which one? I do not know.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apparent uselessness leads to unanswered questions. Were they exercises in the form of a waist-high exercise by apprentices? The curious shape of the staircase below confirms the hypothesis of training exercises. In this case, these apprentices had a sure hand… Or precision tools for cutting and polishing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Looking at the stones, the cuts, the finesse of the work, one cannot help but think that this work was easy to do. Below, this kind of draft that looks like nothing would have required a lot of effort without the right tools. Ultra-fast motors for diamond grinders, for example.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the following photo, the cut is unfinished. Only the lower part of the block is carefully cut. A work interrupted? Or a completed exercise?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This large carved stone poses a host of questions to which I will try to answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52739,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2510],"tags":[581,122],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52899"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52899"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60628,"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52899\/revisions\/60628"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Explosive Batholite<\/h4>\n
