How many ancient megalithic building sites used a form of iron or metal "staples" to hold large stones togethe

first of all never go to that site again, I feel stupider for even looking at it.

secondly there were no metal staple in egyptian pyramids or anywere else, "most" were built before smelting, north americans had no metal smithing till europeans arrived. Egypt had some copper smelting but not used in stone construction.

If this was built in cambodia, asians did develope smelting on there own then it is the only record I've ever heard of.

So if the quack is right....exactly 1.

Hi Paul H ! yes they did indeed have some sort of smelting as evidenced by the uncanny articulations of megaliths which we still cannot lift today with our best cranes (Russia and Japan have both tried and failed) People are still theorizing but coming up bankrupt in all their conjectures

You listed some excellent examples of the cultures which have done this. youve done your homework. The answer to your question is that there was indeed a common cultural template from which these cultures obtained their enigmatic legacies. The original architects probably came from one of the underwater cities that have been discovered in the past 2 decades (Atlantis, Lemuria, something unknown ? etc etc)

watch these 2: "the mystery of the sphinx"(John West & Robert Shoch) & "the mysterious origins of man"(hosted by charlton heston) are both EXCELLENT & available on youtube

Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, John Anthony West, and Robert Shoch will give you more great leads for piecing together the more of the mystery. . .not only were the heaviest of the stones 200 TONS (that 200 times 2000 lbs) but they also somehow chiseled limestone, MARBLE, QUARTZ, and GRANITE- an indescribable skull-melting mystery. Despite the jealousy & enmity this causes to the modern pedantic ego, it still cannot be duplicated. The jigsaw interlocking of these pieces is so precise a razor cannot fit between a single joint on any of the megalithic artifacts on any continent. Sadly(to the arrogant and boastful 'experts'), we are NOT the height of mans accomplishment ! All the experts can do is make up fumbling ad hoc explanations for something beyond their comprehension, and reduce the architects of a high culture to primitives & slaves who sacrifices animals & used ropes and ramps. Absolutely absurd. . .the staggering precision of the sheered faces(perfectly level), the fit of the megaliths with each other, the astronomical alignment with Leo and Orion, alignment with the cardinal points of the earth, with lay lines, and the exquisite dead center on the continents center of gravity all testify to something beyond coincidence. The builders of these monuments were BRILLIANT

stay the course bud, & dont be dissuaded by naysayers who say "it couldn't have been done" because. . . well, it was ! (no matter how angry that makes people) ;)

yes
