And so, in the first part we saw how they melted large amounts of stone, now let us look how they work with small volumes. Let’s start with unremarkable, at first sight, place. Lie, any blocks, masonry, construction type of monument and all. But, the first impression is deceptive. Photography is unique in that we see at the same time and work piece and that it turns out from it – the molten lump. It is noticeable that the side of lump propping monument is also slightly melted. It’s like a sculptor they bring shapeless lumps of clay, and he then sculpts of them. |
Of course, it was a bit more complicated here, at first they pressed along the perimeter, gave a shape, and then compress from three sides a “table” with profile rails. In the background of this image lies another similar work piece. Perhaps it should be another landscape unit there. |
In this photo there is another interesting moment. If you look attentively at the masonry it seems that it was greased with uncured stone, as well as grease masonry with rest of grout. Thus, the masonry is not exactly older than megaliths, most likely, all is done at the same time. |
At first they covered lump with “enamel”, then laid brick foundation under drainage. Thereafter, they melted until the desired state right side of the cliff with tool traces of which are visible to the left of the drain. Further, as the knife cuts the clay, they carved out of the gutter and from resulting material did the receiving bowl. The low part, except for the center stone is formed integrally with the parent rock, they made it immediately after the cutting out of the gutter. The upper part they rolled up as dough turned on the form, and put on the bottom. Everything was designed so that was enough material, and the drain is functional, and everything looks very harmonious. Wizard. Otherwise, this drain simply will not possible to make because in any case the rock had to have the appropriate ledge in this place, which would have to cut in whole, having removed unnecessary, and leave only the protruding bottom. But, we do not see on a lump even a hint of such ledge and the surface was not clearly machined. |
Let us start with the pools, which likely have formed as the result of sampling of rock, apparently also melted. Pay attention on the dark flows covering the left wall of the reservoir. Analyzing the images of objects, which were exposed to melting, it was noticed that such streaks present almost everywhere and it is not consequence of exposure to water. It only blurs what stands out from the stone. If streaks are consequence softening of stone, then maybe it will be such explanation of leaked into the Grand Gallery of the Great Pyramid. |
How did they it? Most likely so. Softened the rock, and some volume removed, then having smeared the remains on the left side of the pool. Then took press shaped like a trough for concrete and going into a soft mass, thereby aligning the bottom and edges. |
Stairs are made with simple indentation in the soft rock. A large staircase leads to a small area, also with traces of indentation a little one to a small lawn in the corner of the pool. |
But if we imagine that they worked on plastic technology, everything becomes clear. First, a large machine, which melts large volumes, prepared playground. When installing the pool it appeared a bit high and machines chosen excess material. |
Melt of rock in this image clearly wraps stuck in it the pool. And another it is impossible to explain. |
The first one softened the rock and removed the excess material having left in the corner the required amount. Well, and then they used press, shaped rails and there is a wonderful corner sofa, on which probably sunbathed foreman, keeping an eye on robots. |
Secondly, there are three square holes, which are called vases. One of the holes is located at the foot of wall protrusion, which is very interesting itself. Why did they do it, why was impossible to make wall smooth? Obviously, it is connected with the inclined wall, from the other side, because it has the same width. Maybe so separated the zone and possibly “rough” machine left material so. Well, square holes, most likely is side effect of 3D sculptor work, which made the sofa, and at the same time was the second contact – “weight”. In this part, mysterious staircase leading to nowhere remained without proper attention. Their puzzle we will try to solve in the next part, which we will devote to another phenomenon of Sigiriya – masonry. |
