How the Ancient Inca moved 50-80Ton stone blocks is a total mystery.
— Jimmy Corsetti (@BrightInsight6) May 8, 2024
Quarried 2+miles away at the top of a high Mountain, carried across a River, a Valley, and brought to the top of a steep hill.
They somehow accomplished all this without the invention of the wheel! 🤯

you can move large weights without a wheel. are people seriously this r-slurred?

Now imagine you have an entire civilization that has nothing better to do then move rocks

They didn't have the wheel because they just didn't okay sure they had extensive road systems and toys with wheels but we never found any big wheels so they never thought of it don't you dare say otherwise are you peer reviewed I'm peer-reviewed

Could people in the 1400s possibly have known how to make things out of stone blocks? They didn't even have Minecraft.

They had a writing (or informaron storage) system--Quipu
Quipu could encode alphanumeric data.
Anyway, they knew "about" the wheel, they just didn't use it because mountains and no draft animals.
Ancient people weren't r-slurs, your average zoomoid would immediately die after being dropped off in the neolithic/bronze age world. Everyone seems to think they would be seen as some kind of demigod and lead people if they had a time machine. Nah, they'd soloman islander your butt and steal your shiny shit or the modern person would immediately regress since most people don't know the actual engineering behind modern shit

lol bullshit, they didn't even have pottery wheels and those would have been useful even without draft animals.

There were toys and shit with wheels, they just didn't see it as being anything more than a novelty, plus there are other methods of making pottery such as the Zapotec "wheel" which does the same shit.
Caral Supe didn't use ceramics, anyway, they stored things in gourds. They had an incredibly complex system of irrigation, though. They started building canals around 4700 BC

you're acting like they got to the same conclusion via a different method or something
in reality they were primitive as frick when we arrived and probably hundreds if not thousands of years away from ever "catching up"
and yes, the lack of effective writing was a huge issue. "oh but they used knots and shit" yeah and it fricking sucked in comparison to writing shit on a stone slab or papyrus (although the chinese, comically, used paper for fans and shit long before they realized you could fricking write on it, at least the egyptians weren't as r-slurred)

Hoss, of course they were primitive, but their technology was pretty good for 6000 years ago.
If I take a population of midwit Redditroids but fail to teach them to read or write or ever let them see other technology and dump them off in a littoral desert between the ocean and the second largest mountains on earth, I imagine I would come back after 5 years to find they've all died of exposure, not that they have built some cool temples or domesticated sweet potatoes or corn.

The Incas knew what wheels were and used them. We've just never found evidence that they were used for carts or vehicles.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE A WRITTEN LANGUAGE HOW COULD THEY POSSIBLY CUT OR MOVE ROCKS

Didn't they use some absurd alternative method of storing information that was essentially the same as written language but not on paper?

Quipu, they were like big butt bundles of knots that could record phonological and numeric data. They've been discovered with the Caral Supe civilization, dating from 3000 BC and could be older considering that textiles rot.
However, nobody alive know exactly how they did so. But it was a code dependent on the placement and direction of the knots

Knots. They tied fricking knots and had some marathon neighbor go run the cord to the next town over until it got to the recipient. Kinda wild

Lol yeah, the had chasquis who were a service of young, physically fit men, who would run messages and packages down the road system by sprinting 1.6 miles and then changing over with a new runner.
They say they could deliver things up to about 200mi in a day
They could also carry verbal messages

I like how all the things aliens did could also be done by ancient people willing to put a lot of labor into something. Crazy meta materials? Nah big rocks. Huge monoliths of purified silicon? Nah just some stone from down the way. Interesting architecture? Nah just stack it in a triangle.
