I’m an independent researcher who has spent fourteen years developing a stone transport theory I call the Conveyor System — a self-advancing roller pathway that may explain how Neolithic peoples moved the stones of Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids without ramps or sledges.
I’m now investigating whether the same methodology applies to Mayan construction.
My hypothesis is straightforward. If Mayan builders used a standardized stone size for construction, the roller spacing in a conveyor system would have been calibrated to match that standard. A broken or undersized stone — one that disrupted the roller spacing — would have caused transport problems and been abandoned at the quarry rather than moved to site.
This means abandoned quarry stones may not be random failures. They may be evidence of a standardized construction unit.
My question to this community is this — has anyone documented the dimensions of abandoned stones at Mayan quarry sites? I’m looking for measurements, patterns, anything that might reveal whether a standard unit of stone size was used.
I’ve searched the literature and found very little on this specific question. That absence itself may be significant.
Any leads welcome.
