| 1453632 | 2018-09-16 00:01:00 | Clearly a natural formation. There are many such "regular" patterns around, and the camera-happy celebrity archeologist's are convincing only to themselves and the gullible. |

| 1453634 | 2018-09-16 01:01:00 | Thank you, Ken. Most interesting. I'm not certain that you could call it a "natural formation" but then if it were not natural, who would have constructed the wall? Interesting that they said that the type of rock that it is, is not found naturally on that site. So how did it get there? Puzzling. |

| 1453635 | 2018-09-16 01:30:00 | After the 186AD Taupo eruption, I would have thought this site should have been buried under very many metres of ash. | Bryan (147) | ||

| 1453637 | 2018-09-16 22:34:00 | skeptics.nz " It is not a megalith. Neither the “wall” nor its parent outcrop appear to have been modified by human activity, but the possibility that some loose blocks have been removed from the front of the “wall section” (most likely in European times) cannot be totally ruled out. The “wall” is not a unique natural feature. Similar block-like jointing patterns are known to exist in other ignimbrite outcrops in the Kaimanawa-Taupo region." Thats not to say ancients wernt able to cut rock, plenty of pre-bronze sites overseas where they did cut rock , even granite . It took them one hell of a long time to do so |

| 1453638 | 2018-09-16 23:44:00 | Mmmn... look at the Incan walls at Machu Picchu. How were those built? I don't know what to believe in all of these mysteries. I just find them interesting! Even Maori say there were people here when they arrived. I was always dubious of Maori quoting their lineage with not having the written word, but then, so many other races have people who passed on the history and lineage so as to keep the records. Just how far back they can accurately remember. But then information can be stored in carvings, symbols, poetry, chants and art. (Bayeaux Tapestry for example) Take a look at this if you are interested. It is an hour long but delves into lots of this stuff and brings DNA into the subject. youtu.be Ken :) |

| 1453639 | 2018-09-21 08:48:00 | . . . Take a look at this if you are interested . It is an hour long but delves into lots of this stuff and brings DNA into the subject . An organic wall? Any wall that has DNA may well have the ability to go walkabout from time to time, possibly why they get so many quakes around Taupo? Mostly though rocks just rest for thousands of years at a time . That much rest is a LOT of breaks . . |
