It's time to talk about niche milling in Peru. It's a hard topic because it raises more questions than it answers and those might be somewhat unsettling. You might need to recalibrate your reality a bit. The evidence is abundant though so let's go down this rabbithole!

As an aside some people call these patterns "scoop marks". They are clearly an artifact produced by the stoneworking process and are seen worldwide. There are many theories about the mechanism that formed them but regardless of that it evidences the malleability of the stone.

The clue is a scored line in the stone that indicates the intended level of the bottom of the niche which I've marked as "A". If you extend the line to the other 2 niches you can see that their bottoms are in line with it but not so with niche "A".

At this point I expect the skeptics to shout "What do you mean unfinished!? How do you know it's unfinished!!? Are you an Inca!?". We can see it's unfinished by the lumpiness of the unfinished sections. In fact we can delineate the finished vs. unfinished sections this way.

Inside we can see the unfinished aspects of niche "A" more clearly. This niche has stone that still needs to be removed from it's bottom to bring it level. The corner on the right side makes it quite clear what the final level was intended to be and this matches the score mark.

One artifact in the "Sacristy" room is extremely important and relevant to the puzzle of the leftside niche in the "temple of the 3 windows". It is a niche that was being milled out but that was halted partway though leaving obvious evidence of how it was being made.

I think that most people intuitively knew or at least suspected that this is how the niches were created. It explains some things such as why the rows of niches are aligned along their tops rather than their bottoms, which is not how we would do it.

Back to the niches. The process of shaping the stone which produces the scoop marks is a kind of milling. The same milling process produces the niches. How do I know this? Well observe the niche on the left of the "3 windows" and compare it to the one on the right.

But what kind of tool was it? Was the stone softened to allow the milling with instruments other than diamond-tipped ones? What kind of mind does things that way? Even if we could do it that way, would we? The questions it raises are many and some are profoundly disturbing.

We can also observe that 1) the milling tool was not wide enough and 2) the niches were created in separate downward motions. So now the weird niche in the 3-windows "temple" makes sense: the block forming the base had only just begun to be milled with similar downward cuts.

So the niches are milled out of the walls. At least the megalithic ones, not the Inca ones. That example in the Sacristy room also exposes the fact that the stone was malleable at the time as we can see the flanges around the opening produced by the milling process.

The quarry / work area at Machu Picchu: natural or artificial? There's a lot of weirdness going on there.

There are similarities to the highly suspicious bedrock stone at the Temple of the Condor at Machu Picchu. The ridges as well as the odd "crack" patterning seem to be the same as "the arrow stone". /6
