M_3_01 — Impossible Precision in Ancient Construction
The Great Pyramid of Giza and Andean polygonal masonry demonstrate engineering precision that is VERIFIED, MEASURABLE, and often difficult to explain with proposed tool kits. These are not fringe claims — they are survey
M_3_12 — Stone Softening Claims: Mythological and Chemical Analysis
Among the most intriguing and elusive claims in alternative archaeology is the idea that ancient Andean peoples possessed a botanical or chemical method of "softening" stone — reducing hard stone (particularly the andesi
M_3_11 — Paleolithic Calendars: Marshack's Lunar Notation Hypothesis
