Wagon roads, you know, made by wagon wheels and settlers crossing over and mud and drying mud. And that's the story, you know. Everything has a natural explanation here in America, you know. But yeah.

did the indentations get made with hammers and chisels to make these rails for the rock to move on top of you know chicken or an egg kind of a question i guess yeah that's a good question um man i hate i hate to do that i'm gonna skip that yeah i think we we almost have that figured out what i will say is i think um i hate skipping a question like that it's so good um let me say this i the

you especially let's take malta for example you have a lot of examples of where it's clear that the stone was being quarried out of the center of those cart ruts right because it's still left there in that state so there are there are sites in malta where it's clear that they were quarrying the stone between the cart ruts and um and so uh you know But then I think it was multi-purpose.

It was used to facilitate the movement of the, not just between the cart ruts, but all around it. But they were coring out in between the cart ruts as well. I mean, there's places in Malta where there's no... you know, it's impossible that it was made by a cart rut because it goes down so deep in areas and the left stone in between them is so high.

It's just, it's impossible that that was made by a cart rut. And I think those are areas where the center between them just hadn't fully been quarried out yet.

So as we're looking here, there's examples of this all over Sacsayhuaman. What you'll notice is those square spots, right? What you'll also notice there at Sacsayhuaman, which we don't have a great shot of here, But do you remember walking Sacsayhuaman, there being the indentations in the stones that are kind of out of place?

Like the whole stone is shaped and curved like you were just describing, and then at the bottom of it or in the middle of it, there'd be like a pressed in area. Yeah. When you get really close into the, and it was great that it just rained too, because a lot of this really stood out, which can be hard to see sometimes.
