Deciphering the Ancient Mindset Part 2: A Case for Spherical Technology

⨁ / Temple of THEM

Let's look at what concepts, engineering ideas and shapes and mechanical systems exist and
historically what was possible as I propose a radical and unique case for the use by ancients of
Spherical Technology.

I will start by saying that I believe ingenuity is a result of observing nature and that fire, electricity,
waterwheels and other systems all stem from being provided concepts by nature that lead a human
being to adopt some of those principles in their technology. I want to explore the possibility that
Ancients used spheres so I have to prove that there is evidence for that concept in the mindset of
ancient humans which evolves by making connections between one quanta and another.

So we have to start small and look for some clues. Let's look at what concepts, engineering ideas
and shapes and mechanical systems exist and historically what was possible as I attempt to
strengthen my case and find evidence of the components and mindset required to think of such a
form.

Beginning with the very basics - do people weave tough materials like rattan, cane or bamboo into
ball shapes?

Yes - Woven ball baskets exist. These are on a small scale, but weaving is a very ancient art and
taken to a very high level of prowess - it is also not difficult to imagine that rather than half a sphere
which a traditional basket shape now is, that full spheres were used. So the concept is old.

Can we find a larger example of a basket?

Yes - In ancient Rome a form of torture was the Bee Basket, which involved putting a victim in a
large woven basket and hoisting them up in a tree with bees. So we know baskets could be created
that would take the weight of a man. There is also the example of the Wicker Man, an enormous
standing basket that goes back to ancient times.

Could an axis have been fed through a Ball Device and fixed to a cable?
Yes - Look at the way a curved bracket holds a world globe so that it still spins on its axis, the
concept is not used often now but it definitely existed and came from somewhere. This is the same
concept as the flat disc of the Wheel - just rounded, and probably pre dates the wheel. Putting a
stick through a round piece of fruit, or hollowing a bead to pass a thread into it for instance would
have suggested a similar concept. And these are concepts that much of ancient history features. So
the idea of using a rotating ball on an axis was not at all foreign.

Are there examples of a large Stone Ball anywhere in the world?

Yes - there are many example of gigantic stone balls around the world. So we know that natural
Stone Balls provided suggestion to observers, while crafted stone balls were used by the Ancients in
some way and they were familiar with the shape as a solution to a problem. This one is from Costa
Rica, South America. They are sometimes referred to as Petrospheres.

The ancients, if we take modern explanation of them as cavemen, were entirely surrounded by rock
every day, all the time. Apart from loose wood there was loose rock. When they lived in caves they
were surrounded by it and would have learned about its acoustics and properties, in carving out a
new chamber they would have observed how it changed sounds and how it behaved when they did
it in different rocks, or that different caves had different properties. They were constantly touching,
navigating and confronted with rock - it is only natural they used it in much of their buildings and
projects.

Now it gets tougher. Let's start more modestly. Are any of these spheres, hollow?
Yes - here is a photo of one that does have some degree of hollowness. Such may have given
humans the idea to make a hollow sphere, if not scooped out fruit, joining two bowl halves, a
human skull and many other daily encounters with hollow spheres would have continually
suggested the concept mentally. We know many skulls were used as containers. As were pumpkins,
and gourds, dried, hollowed and used as bottles, and round clay pots were also extremely common
in most cultures.

Are there other examples either in nature as a natural phenomenon that might suggest to an observer
a principle of rolling a hollow sphere - emptying out a sphere, or possible archaeological evidence
of such a concept that can span a large history of time, even predate time?

Yes - this is the Klerksdorp sphere, and looks like a half cricket ball. With a clear set of seams
running down the middle. They are said to be over 3 Billion years old. Common fruit such as
oranges, lemons, peaches or other stone fruit which have a hollow centre once you take the stone
out, or show a tough outer skin with a removable fleshy inside, may have also suggested the
concept. Eggs, would have also demonstrated this concept on a near daily basis. As products of our
environment we have to prove that the idea occurred to ancients in what was available to them at
the time.
Rome, home of the large basket, also had these: a cast metal dodecohedron. We can see how much
this suggests an awareness of the properties of a hollow sphere, this one even has handles where
you might attach chains, holes through which you might fit an axle. No one knows the use of this
object - but it shows that hollow sphere technology existed in Rome. We can see from this that
casting metal with holds or anchor points that could secure chains, cables or pulleys was possible -
and too that it would have been child's play to install an axle that ran through the centre of a hollow
sphere - if someone thought about it.

Looking for an older example, China has these carved hollow ivory balls within ivory balls. Note
that one even has a chain attached to it. This highlights that the concept of a ball and chain was
prevalent in an even older culture. Moreover that the sophistication drastically outstrips the
simplicity required to make a large plain spherical container with no features but to which anchor
points can be joined and that can open and close for putting things in.
Now is there evidence that a spherical structure of a large size existed in the mindset, in the
consciousness, of human beings? Let's look at the capabilities of the people I am suggesting might
have used spherical technology.

Firstly, Praveens videos show that India has the technology to make Geopolymers, stone mixtures
that are extremely tough but also light and could be crafted into any intricate shape desired on any
scale.

He has shown that it has the impossibly incredible ability to make millions of unbelievably intricate
statues - so asking if they could make a sphere, with their level of skill, would be insulting.
India has shown that it knew how to make its statues, temples and architecture so incredibly strong
that not only did they last thousands of years in many many cases but even resisted all attempts by
invaders to break or destroy them with all giving up because it was just too hard.

India has demonstrated that it could create earthquake proof structures and so had an intricate
understanding of physics.

It has been proven that it possessed ancient machining skills such as lathes and crafting skills of
exceptional and unreplicatable genius. As an example there are carved granite lions, one of the
hardest stones in the world - and inside their mouths, round onyx balls that cannot be taken out of
the mouth. How did they get them in there?

India has shown unbelievable prowess in working with stone to create things from it that boggle the
mind, look at this 'rock chain' that is over 400 years old.

It has also shown it had the ability to move hundred to thousand ton rocks and even stack them
carefully on one another or on rock stilts for traps. Or to move immense statues in one piece. Many
of India's statue are staggeringly enormous, placed in very high places, and made of hundreds of
thousands of tons of stone that is nowhere near the location.

India possessed advanced technology, including secret formulaes that it applies to its statues to
create amazing toughness - best demonstrated by the iron pole that will not rust that has been there
for some 1200 years. There are ancient gigantic statues that look like they were carved yesterday
while the temple around them crumbles apart - It's ability to toughen something as simple as a
spherical container to achieve a very hard toughness to take the weight of a lot of material while
remaining light itself would be a very basic achievement regardless of which material they used.
I feel a geopolymer though would have had the best chance of not falling apart if loaded with very
heavy stones.

With all of that in mind - and the evidence that the mindset, technology and examples of the
mechanics and design exist for this type of construction in ancient times - we have to agree that it IS
entirely plausible, for giant hollow sphere's to have been used in the construction of Ancient Sites.

There is no question, they would have known that the easiest shape to move over rough terrain like
a massive cliff of rock is not a block or raw rock, but a sphere. a sphere has the least amount of
surface tension making it very easy to move and move over things, in comparison to a block, pillar
or raw uncut stone which has a high surface tension. A sphere with enough strength to resist being
damaged and catching its dents on rock faces, and tough enough to carry immense weight and not
break when gravity pulled downward. Now - assuming that there is some possibility Ancients did
use Spherical Technology - why do -I- think that?

Because the layout and markings on the stone suggest it. Their mindset seems to have been focused
on the path of least resistance at every step - so, why wouldn't they use a rolling sphere container?
What would prevent them from taking advantage of, and recognizing the superiority of a sphere to
move things?

Imagine that they did build such a device - what, might it look like?
Well at first I hypothesised it might look like this...

Goods would be filled into the sphere and the device dragged up to the top using maybe, very large
turning wheels - maybe what the water pool was for, or some kind of turning device with very long
rods to maximise torque so little effort is required to turn it and drag the immense weight up the
side of the mountain especially if the ball was rolling cleanly over the mountain face. This is
speculation as it is impossible for me to get a full 360 scan of the rock to see all of its features, holes
and any interference. The spot I suggested in a previous article is - at the back of the rock. While the
spot that has these track marks appears to be at the front of the rock. But I noticed something
unusual about the track marks that are visible here, and that is that rather than act as climbing holes
of some kind - and assuming I can see it correctly - you can see the shadow on these track marks is
underneath the steps. This means you could not use them to climb up and grip your fingers onto
ledges - because those ledges are upside down, you would just slide down them because there's no
way to grab on to them. At least, not with your hands.

So what are they for? Why would they be inverted, when the other examples of this tracking across
rocks are more like steps? Apparently, says Praveen, many ancient sites around the world have these
grooves. I note these grooves look quite shallow, possibly, they were deeper at the time they were
made and have been weathered over time. And maybe they were used for something like this?
Having limited knowledge of Engineering but enough to know what the problems might be in
raising a heavy load, did they use some sort of ratcheting device so that the ball could not slip?

If they DIDN'T use a spherical container - they still appear to have taken the loads up that particular
side of the cliff because it was easier to manage - but either way sphere or not, is this a possible
explanation for the grooves we see? Perhaps on their own they might not have been strong enough,
the grooves are afterall quite shallow - but there is a large hole just above them too - perhaps for a
counterweight system as well as a brake? I know that the more pulleys you add to a load the easier
it is to lift a weight.

Praveen says the locals claimed these cube-scooped rocks (Ravanas Rocks) had crystals placed in
the slots. What might be the purpose of that?

Let's consider the size of Sigiriya rock and the vast distance from the top to the ground level. It's
enormously high, shouting up or down would get lost on the wind - and let's assume that getting
loads of heavy materials up the side would be no mean feat even with advanced technology. What if
the rocks below with the scooped out cubes were used as some kind of signalling system, like
semaphore. Let's assume they didn't have levitational powers to lift giant stones for a moment. How
did the workers communicate with each other over the course of this epic lifting event - how could
those on the platform below see what was happening above - and those above see what was
happening below? You can no more look over the edge than you can see up to the top - as in both
cases the deep edge limits sight, especially if a load is in the way. Maybe the crystals were used as a
communication device - and maybe overseers could tell the foreman at all levels to move the load
left or right using light signals over long distance if voice was ineffectual. Maybe as the load was
taken up and along, new rocks with more direct lines of sight with the crystals were needed to keep
instructions and advice in sight. Or maybe the crystals are unrelated. Even so co-ordinating a heavy
lift like this would take more than one person, probably a team and they would need to
communicate somehow, and see each other somehow at all times to update how things were going.

In his video series Praveen discusses how the 'Rock Gardens' of Sigiriya were actually defenses,
and how it would have been possible to flood the entire area with water quickly.
Now let's reconsider the reason, or add one, that the whole area around the Sigiriya Rock was made
so that it could flood - yes, it could be for defense but also consider that it would be extremely easy
to navigate a sphere floating on water filled with materials as ballast through the jungle and to the
base of the location where it is then hooked up to some kind of mechanism. If we take on point that
the Ancients used every shortcut possible to make their work as easy as possible, based on how they
appear to have ferried stone up the side of Sigiriya and the point they chose.

There is an additional factor that has not been taken into account in regards to the markings on
Sigiriya. HCP Bell, is famed for having explored the rock around 1900 and there are several images
from that expedition that show him standing on scaffolding that was erected in order to enable his
studies.
In these two images we can clearly see scaffolding of various sorts - which indicates that more than
just the Ancients made holes and marks on the surface and rocks of Sigiriya. This means the
Ancients holes and those made by Colonial Exploration using then modern day methods to affix to
the rock are potentially all mixed in together. There are cable lines shown in this photo that may
have used anchors, and how to separate who made which marks may be impossible.

Secondly, what we are seeing now when we look at Sigiriya has changed drastically even since the
colonial expedition: here is an original image from that expedition of the top ziggurat of the area.

So it's possible that some minor rock holes were made by explorers, but let's return to the case for
Spherical Technology. In the original article I wrote I had paused the footage on Praveens video at a
certain point where I identified the possible route of the rock - but - below it I did not see another
feature of Sigiriya. This place has so many features its difficult to tell what might be involved and
what might not be. But look at this new diagram with a wider shot angle of the location I claim a
Sphere was used to ferry up materials. That long smooth strip of pale orange stone is not recent -
but over 1600 years old and is called the 'Mirror Wall'.

Wikipedia states "Originally this wall was so highly polished that the king could see himself whilst
he walked alongside it. Made of brick masonry and covered in highly polished white plaster,
[11] the wall is now partially covered with verses scribbled by visitors, some of them dating from as
early as the 8th century. People of all types wrote on the wall, on varying subjects such as love,
irony, and experiences of all sorts. Further writing on the mirror wall now has been banned for the
protection of the old writings. "

"When the mirror wall was built 1600 years ago, it was a highly polished white masonry parapet wall that
inched its way precariously along the near-perpendicular western surface of the Sigiriya rock. Commencing at
the top of a flight of steep stairs at the Terraced Garden, it traversed a distance of 200 meters along a gallery
once covered with frescos to a small plateau on the northern side of the rock on which the Lion Staircase is
located. The gleaming white wall provided an irresistible tablet, on which are inscribed the musings of many
an intrepid traveler. " Wikipedia

But that doesn't answer why was this wall was put here, of all places, on Sigiriya. Further that it
runs the full length of the rock and has a slippery surface, a shined, polished surface.

Perhaps a clue lies in this image - where we can see how far the upper mountain wall juts out and
how uneven it is.

Due to this Mirror Wall I have modified my original sketch shown below. Correspondingly, high
above, there is a second ledge, marked in blue. Where, it would have been easy to set the feet of
some kind of crane and slide it along the length of the top of the rock to the same distance as the
Mirror Wall. Consider the marks, terrain and goal of the builders. We can see that the rock bulges
out along most of its length, this would have made any attempt to drag something up in a straight
line, impossible. Most often, the load would get caught under the overhang and possibly snap the
cable if too much tension was placed on the load. Maybe that is what the orange marks are - earlier
attempts to get things up the rock face. Then they realized it wasn't going to happen and their
engineer suggested building a smooth ramp in the location shown. Consider that if you had a
Sphere, you could easily lift it to a certain height, and bypass the bulge in the rock by making a
slick rollable surface to roll the sphere to a key point on the rock, then drag it upward through the
groove and onto a recessed ledge and onto ground with much less gradient which also appears to
have steps and be worn smooth. Why else would you put this 'mirror wall' here? Of all places, on
this rock? Why else would the ledge above match the mirror walls length and run paralell? A sphere
would perfectly suit traversing this particular set of phenomenon and their placement. A theory of
the palace as an observatory would have to explain these:
"The lion rock Sigiriya Graffiti were written on the surface of the Mirror Wall at Sigiriya. Scribbled
on the wall are over 1800 pieces of prose, poetry and commentary written by ancient tourists. These
graffiti offer a fascinating insight into the history of Sigiriya and the evolution of language in Sri
Lanka over a period of 800 years. The majority of the graffiti refer to the beautiful paintings of
semi-nude females. These graffiti confirm that this site was the residence of King Kashyapa who
ruled from 477 to 495 AD. The texts also suggest that the females depicted in the frescoes are the
ladies of the King's royal court - the ladies of the harem.
The graffiti range from statements of awe, declarations of love, commentary, curses, laments, diary
entries, or mere statements of visit. Many demonstrate a very high level of literacy and a deep
appreciation of art and poetry written in a Sinhala, Sanskrit and Tamil. These early scribblers have
left us priceless insights into the past. Out of these paintings 685 individuals identified so far, 12
were women, over half identified themselves by name, many noted their social rank, and some even
mentioned where they came from towns like Weligama and Ritigala in Sri Lanka. The majority of
these visitors appear to have been from the elite of society: royalty, officials, professions, and
clergy. "

This would seem to debunk the idea of an isolated observatory - but perhaps the palace was also an
observatory. And notwithstanding, still needed to get the building materials of its citadel to the top.

Moreover there is no explanation as to why the mirror wall is situated here of all places. It is not for
the view since the wall blocks any view of the jungle. This height is 650 ft from the jungle floor.

Here is a better view of that recess:

And here it is from another angle. Note that a rock platform sits below the area where this lifting
would have taken place. It shows some kind of settlement ruins but also would have enabled
scaffolding to be placed below on an elevated position halfway up the rock - meaning scaffolding
would not have to stand on the jungle floor or stretch all the way from it to the location. This would
have potentially been highly unstable and used a lot of resources. Looking at the trees in the area we
can see that there are no towering behemoths and strapping wooden timbers together would have
been highly precarious. But starting the foundations halfway up - a much safer and secure prospect.
Is this also why this location was chosen to put in a platform or cut that deep groove in the rock?

Here is a closer look at those deep twin grooves: and we can see how incredibly smooth the face of
the groove actually is.
From this angle we can see a better relationship of that stone platform to the location on the rock -
in fact it is some distance away from it. But if you imagine that a sphere was being moved along on
a cable on the mirror wall using it like a ramp - we identify a problem. The cable would have been
blocked by the jutting platform and the sphere would have been stopped. You would not need both
the platform and the sphere on a cable at the same time. Logically, the platform would have been
installed first, and used to cut the groove. Then, the platform would have been removed so that the
mirrorwall ramp could be used as intended. We might also wonder - where are all the wooden tools
and evidence? Is it possible that after construction had finished using them, they chopped them into
pieces and used the wood as firewood to stay warm and cook with? In a dense, wet, jungle you
wouldn't just throw valuable resources away - you would use them, and what better use for
unwanted wood in its current state than to chop it up for firewood? Otherwise, where is all of the
timber used to make this enormous project? We can see in the black and white images of Sigiriya in
the early 1900's that trees were growing around a pool, but in modern times these trees are gone.
The site may well have been cleared over time, by weather, by people - or perhaps the platforms
were simply cast below to the jungle where they fell from view, rotted and became part of the
ground.

This below is the 'Pleasure' or 'Rock Gardens' of Sigiriya. Might it also be the layout of a map of Mt
Meru? It's 4 lakes and the odd seemingly unrelated path which diverges wildly shares similarity
with a particular feature of both the stone carved stargate and the map of mt meru. This distinctive
squiggle could perhaps mean the spark of life, electricity if mt meru is intended as a map of all
consciousness. The straight path could have been used to roll empty spheres down, but not up - as
the stairs rise several times which would have made it impossible to pull a heavy laden sphere up.
Unless you floated it.

Sigiriya is a very difficult location to access - in the middle of dense jungle but used rocks to build
the structures above that are nowhere to be found nearby. Here is another image of Sigiriya which
shows how incredibly high it is and why it might have been necessary to drag materials up the side
en mass using machines and mechanisms rather than very slowly carry each stone up the long and
winding, steep and exhausting path to the summit. Let alone getting all of that stone there in the first
place. The Sri Lanka tourist board says this about the location

"The word Sigiriya or the Sinhagiri means the Lion’s Rock where you have to climb up 1200 steps
before you reach the Lion Rock Fortress on top of Sigiriya. It will take 1.5 - 3 hours to climb up the
rock and to get back down "

The rock on top of Sigiyra comprises hundreds of tons of very heavy stone that is not found in the
area. The 1.5/3hour trek is done vertically, up 1200 stairs. It is not 2 hours measured walking along
a simple plane and many people need to stop and rest along the way. Think about the possibility that
people, housed in a very small palace, burning through food, water, resources and needing shelter,
rest daily - would have been able to carry one small block of very heavy red marble, to the top of
Sigiriya using its circuitous and steep route - deliver it - then travel back down to get another.
Think how exhausting that would be just doing it once. Even if somehow they were rappelling
down it would take an extraordinary amount of time. If the trip takes an average of 2 hours up and 2
hours back without a heavy stone - a worker could only manage approximately a few loads a day,
on a very good day. But to be That strong every day and every day after, is unheard of. There are
certain people in the world that mine sulphur and carry 50-80kgs out of a volcano - or that mine
jade in the mountains to be picked up and sold by their employer - but that heavy load is taken
Down a mountain. Look at the gradient incline of this set of modern stairs added in the last century
- prior to which no stairs were found that gave access which is why Sigiriya remained unknown
until the last 200 years.
Here are the stairs to the site built by the ancients including two large stone feet - but as you can see
they stop very short from anywhere near the top and rise only 25 feet or so before stopping.

Praveen says that reports give an estimate of at least 3 million bricks are to be found at the top of
Sigiyra. Consider, how much effort it would take one person to carry one small black of red marble
to the top manually, then walk back down, and get another. But also that there were possibly no
stairs to even make that full journey. This would indicate that the stairs might have been made of
wood and removed in the distant past as no remnants remain or perhaps some kind of elevator was
used that left from the lion rock staircase. However, look at the giant blocks on top of Sigiriya that
number in the thousands, made of white marble, a stone that is nowhere to be found in that area of
Sri Lanka.
These are enormous and very heavy, at least 20 kilos per stone and many of an awkward shape then
you have the awkward route to navigate with this giant stone. Look how many are shown here, as
huge single pieces, in just this small fraction of the area.
But this is obviously speculation. Without knowing What feature was built When, in relation to all
the others there is little we can say for sure. After all maybe the gardens were flooded to float
spheres, then drained to enjoy the gardens and the map of Mt Meru from the top of the rock before
the Jungle took it over. Maybe the Mirror Wall was built with a practical purpose to ferry Spherical
loads across the surface of the rock - but later, polished to act as some kind of feature that had
another purpose - maybe it was an early blackboard and was used to inscribe workings from the
Observatory above, on its shiny surface using inks that could be wiped off, but maybe things had
more than one purpose and a critical failing of archaeology is to assume things only had one
purpose for their entire lives.

We can see daily examples of human ingenuity using some product container in some unintended
way, we call it recycling - but in archaeology, a pit or building seems to be always isolated to be one
thing and was accordingly only ever built to be one thing. But this seems a ridiculous and narrow
mindset since during the life stage of almost every building in modern times its history shows it to
have been used in multiple ways, first as this, then as that, then something else entirely besides. If
the Ancients Did use the path to ferry their rock that I'm suggesting that shows engineering prowess
and understanding and psychology to select the simplest way to achieve a task, even a monumental
one then they would have made use of things at all stages. Thus before a hole became a hut, it could
be used for other things, after the hut became damaged, maybe it became used for something else as
well.

We have to think about how you would get the maximum results from doing as little work as
possible, because building on this scale takes time, resources, food, organization and the markings
and placement of them on the rock suggest a people working smarter rather than longer. If we begin
with the assumption that ancient builders had the same physiology, needs and limitations as modern
day humans (2020) then it is necessary to try and imagine and piece together how we would have
built this without magic or alien technology by picturing ourselves there at the site going through
the motions on a daily basis to build this given the particular obstacles and problems faced and the
technology available to us to complete it. We must also look at the clues left behind - markings,
striations, holes, grooves, rock from a distant location, an impossible route upward one stone at a
time even with hundreds of workers who would have their own needs to be met, 3 million stones
some of which are enormous, dense impenetrable jungle, an isolated location, defenses of various
kinds, a mirror wall, a lot of stones with cut out cubes and trackmarks below, a map of Mt Meru.

We are not even going to touch yet, on this feature also on Sigiriya:
Here is the Entrance at ground level to Sigiriya:

The concept, function and advantage of spheres almost certainly existed in the mindset of the
ancients.

How, they lifted, managed, controlled such enormous rocks, how it was possible to cut 3,500 tons
of solid granite with chisels or hammers out to make the pool at the top, let alone the rest of these
bricks - are mysteries yet to be solved. My concern is not to write a thesis and learn geology,
engineering, architecture, advanced mathematics to solve these mysteries, but to provide some
explanation for the markings shown on Sigiriya, known as the 8th Wonder of the World.

However if the Ancients were not using Spherical Containers, perhaps they should have been. It
would have been easy to:

• fill them with far more materials in one load than a team of workers could manage in a day
• float them across the flooded jungle
• roll them into position
• attach them to a cable like a wrecking ball
• navigate them smoothly up and around difficult rock faces
• move hundreds of bricks at a time using clever engineering at the top by which the cables
were attached.
• a sphere has the least amount of surface tension making it very easy to move and move over
things, in comparison to a block, pillar or raw uncut stone which has a high surface tension.
• socket them so they didn't move while unloading materials.

If not -
• why are the Mirror Wall, Holes and Groove all in the same location - and why, on that part
of the rock.
• How could it not occur to them to use a sphere in engineering when there was ample
conceptual suggestion of a hollow ball idea, even right in front of them.
• Why cut a smooth groove into the rock, and why cut it there?
• How did they transport millions of bricks if each worker could mange 3 trips up and 3 trips
down a day with a small load of them?

In summary - a spherical container makes a tremendous amount of sense and has a lot of
advantages. The markings on Sigiriya do lend themselves to the possibility that a sphere was used
to move heavy materials - and if not a sphere, that at least the marked path was in fact the lifting
point for the materials, and, that lifting materials in large loads was required. It is possible to
explain some but not all of the features on Sigiriya using logical deduction and our own self as the
base so we can decide how we would do what they have done. The terrain itself offers further clues
- but there is no hard evidence here, or anywhere in history of any kind - that large spheres were
used as a container to transport heavy materials. No such evidence of spheres has ever been found
even though the concept of a hollow ball is ubiquitous and would have solved many problems and
all of the components for such an invention are to be found separately in other designs and creations
by ancients. The ancient mindset would have almost certainly understood the power of using a
hollow sphere, its properties over other shapes and carriers and been daily exposed to many
examples in nature of one inc. raindrops, skulls, seed-pods, fruit, even a closed fist. - it would have
been inescapable. Yet, there is no direct evidence, or examples, anywhere in the world for this
mechanism. But many leap to alien technology, levitating rocks and acoustic magic long before they
get to this point. So, if Spheres did exist, what would cause this lack of evidence?

Were they made of a material that disintegrated? Possible. But if the practice was widespread,
surely at least one example would exist. Without archaeological access or any hope of exploring
what has been found in archaeological digs the world over that might fit this description at some
point in time, there is no hope of evidence unless this article sparks someone to point me in the
direction of some such obscure finding.
Were they deliberately broken to prevent the technology being stolen? Possible - but there is
evidence that the Ancient Indians left behind maps and smaller statues and clues showing someone
how to rebuild their temples. They did have many secrets, the majority of which have never seen
the light of day, and hundreds of thousands of temples are sealed off to visitors across the world
with lower levels, tunnels, certain areas of access closed or entire structures restricting access at all,
that cannot be explored to fully understand the mindset and architecture of ancient people. They did
possess a jealous streak or a careful streak, that much is clear, that had secrets and if this was one of
them it stands to reason they might break it.

Did they break the spheres for another reason? Possible. Maybe they used the material another way
after they had finished lifting and broke it, modified it, or in some way burned, crushed or recycled
it as part of the process. This is one possible reason no examples exist.

What I am proposing is radical, unique and impossible to prove: yet plausible. Sometimes all it
takes is someone to think differently to solve a puzzle: of thinking differently I am adept.

My third essay on this topic will discuss why it is that human beings dismiss the idea of ancient
