"The Enigma Of Ancient Metal Clamps Found On Megaliths, Temples, And Other Prehistoric Monuments Across The World Remains One Of The Greatest Unsolved Mysteries Of All Time. What Purpose Did These Small Metal Clamps Serve In Holding Together Large Stone Blocks? How Did This Technology Spread To Distant Locations Such As Ancient Egypt, Pre-Columbian Peru, And Cambodia Thousands Of Years Ago? These Countries Are Separated By Vast Distances, So Who Imparted This Knowledge To Our Ancestors? The Use Of Metal Clamps In T-Grooves Has Been Discovered In Various Sites Including Tiahuanaco, Ollantaytambo, Koricancha, And Yuroc Rumi In Vilcabamba. Clamps Were Also Employed In The Construction Of The Parthenon, Buildings In Mesopotamia, Egypt, And Cambodia. Some Researchers Suggest That The Clamps Were Used For Ceremonial Purposes, While Others Propose That They Were Utilized To Hold The Stone Blocks Together As They Hardened Into Place. Imprints Found On These Metal Clamps Reveal That They Were Designed To Join Colossal Blocks Of Stone That Would Be Impossible For Modern Machinery To Lift. Unfortunately, Only A Few Of These Clamps Have Survived, As Many Were Removed By The Spanish Who Believed They Were Made Of Gold. Some Of These Clamps May Have Been Adorned With Silver And Gold, As Historical Records Document That Invading Armies Sought To Dismantle These Structures Solely To Obtain The Valuable Clamps"
