The creations of the building industry of megalithic civilizations are the most common manifestation of their technology that we encounter. Since modern human civilization does not possess it, the production of building components is carried out in the first step by first crushing and grinding natural rock. In the second step, it mixes the resulting grit and powder in the required volume back with binders and hardens it into the required type of component.

Megalithic civilizations left a number of elaborate building structures that suggest a more straightforward process. A roughly shaped piece of rock is separated from the source rock mass. This is followed by transport, in which the size and weight of the piece and the length and complexity of the route are clearly not a problem. On site, the individual unique shaping and adaptation of the contact surfaces to the adjacent parts is carried out to within tenths of a millimetre. The surface can then be modified into a glossy smooth glassy layer, affecting the material structure to a depth of a few millimetres to centimetres. Polishing, as practised by our civilisation by mechanical friction of materials, is quite different from such treatment. In terminological terms, we might call megalithic surface treatment, for example, ‘glazing’. As a working hypothesis, one can imagine a process that can move the silicon in a rock to the surface. The resulting thin glassy layer then solidifies on top of it.

The level of knowledge of mankind does not allow the description of a physical principle unknown to us, let alone the application of megalithic technology. Yet some hypotheses may very well be on the right track.

The key to softening the rock and temporarily removing its mass is likely to be a change in the molecular structure of the rock due to some physical phenomenon
