Funny, I was just watching a video about this today. Bags of cement? We can’t tell the difference between cement and stone?
And can’t someone simply core into one of them, find some trace of bags or wood frames, and carbon date it?
By the way, I also watched a vid about a place called Caral, in Peru, that has very ancient stone structures that may date back to around 3000BC. I’d never heard of it before.

#7. Portland Cement? How did they get it down to Peru?

Just asking. Meanwhile we will just keep chipping away at the rocks theories.

Caral is pretty cool, It has more going on than they show in the videos. Many temples, nine that I can count, several still covered over and not excavated yet. Please keep posting wildbill, every theory is worth considering. The naysayers are welcome to move on and not click on it if they don't agree. No one forced them to come "waste their time". :)

There is mention on one of the videos on pyramid construction today that a study was done on 2 of the structures samples looking at the magnetic alignments of metals in the rocks - quarried stone would produce a random alignment due to random motions while moving and placing; a cast stone would have the same alignment as the magnetic pole in situ. All the samples had the same northerly ligament, not the random alignment expected from quarried stone.

Stone cannot be carbon dated, bio-thermoluminescence dating can tell when two stones were laid down, but not the date of the stone carving/shaping itself.

How many cores would it take to find one that had such material in it?; how much time do you want to spend?; how much money do you want to spend on testing hundreds or thousands of samples?

There are stone structures in SA that date back over 100,000 years ... there is a pyramid in SA larger and older that the Great Pyramid ...

I wonder if they couldn't take out one "perfectly fitted" stone and analyze the sides to see if heat (i.e. cutting laser) was applied, as some of the believers have proposed.

Another interesting question pertained to those bronze "T-Bones" that held the stones together. One said the bronze had to be molten all the time and carried from stone to stone, and wondered what kind of heat source could be that portable and constant.
