In archaic and neolithic times in Russia and the Americas, people made their own stones for retaining walls and
buildings. The above and below images show these stone walls were made from a soupy conglomerate of powdered ores;
ores formed into liquified silt for pour-in forms, similar to thick ceramic slip like, liquid cement; and poured into
a frame or form, dried, hardened by the sun, heat or fire into stones: or even cut by heated laser beam rods. One such
rod was found in the apex of Kufu's pyramid.
Being used in a high-heat metal smelter would in
itself, over time have caused ore layers within the stones to separate just as multitudinous crack-lines and chips form on
old ceramic cooking pots from high heat. In time the stones eventually dry-up, all apart into chunks and sections and crumble back
into sand, and when wet -- silt. Rock quarrys were also called Rock Crushers, because of methods used to make sand and silt for stones.
The stones in this archaic wall were examined
and studied by David and Susan Campbell in the early 2000s, and discovered to be walls of a very large archaic, burned-out stone
smelter in Oklahoma in the mid-western United States. But unfortunately for historians, the people owning the land did not understand,
appreciate, nor want them, or curious visitors there, and in spite of many protests had this archaic building, along with all its
arcaic hand-built stone walls, bull-dozed under the ground.

The archaic building had been built during the bronze-age when neolithic metal workers mined and forged metals of copper and tin alloys
into bronze and brass objects for world trade, along with iron objects.
The Phoenicians and Achaeans -- ancient mariners, knew
and used archaic cement for their harbor constructions, and large stone building blocks; silt (fine mud) mixed into a liquid and poured
into various shaped molds like bricks or blocks and harbor cement.
Those same ancient Phoenicians -- Celts/Silts
covered their deep circular marina's ("island-like harbors") walls with a copper-ore cement-plaster; whom Socrates, stated in what is now
called Plato's Dialogues called "oricaulk". This metalic plaster was made with a compound mixture of powdered copper ore which has
a greenish, aqua color like some swimming pools. Their hayday was prior to, and during the neolithic/bronze-age before, and after the major
ice-age melt-downs. Much later they were known as Vikings. It is also interesting to note that the Baltic anomaly was covered with a
thick iron-ore cement plaster which was also a build-up, which had run down from their archaic iron mining in archaic Sweden
Both David and and his wife Susan investigated these stones before they were bull-dozed under. Susan Campbell took all
the photographs and more which are not shown here. Their interesting first-hand account can be found at this Viewzone Link:

Then there's "Waffle Rock" below.. Man-made? Or Nature-made?
"Waffle Rock", is a large petrified hunk of mud consisting of compressed sandstone and hematite encased
in a framework. Was it once a form or mold for an ancient "stone" wall? The entire frame of petrified "mud"
stones is a piece of a much larger surface area, and only a small remnant piece salvaged before the area was
dammed-up and flooded to create Jennings Randolph Lake in Mineral County, West Virginia, USA.
The chunk sits on the West Virginia Overlook.
The above petrified stone framework resembles the archaic smelter walls, which also resembles the
Stellate Parenchysma cell-walls of the prehistoric giant trees and plants that once covered the earth.
It's also possible the waffle frameworks were used as molds or forms for ready-made rock walls and why
the ancient Etruscans/Basques (Phoenicians and Achaeans) used them for the fire-proof walls of their
smelters, filling-in the open spaces with a conglomerate-like cement and then hardened.
