Or it would have required concrete that lasts long enough to become stone.
You mean like the 30,000 year and more old stuff they’re finding now that is better made and holds up better (obviously) than the stuff we make today because it doesn’t have as many pockets of water in it? (Water is what causes the concrete to eventually break down.)
Yep, geopolymer based. The way to keep the water out is to crystallize the material. Salt helps tremendously with that, especially when there’s a high alumina content like the Roman concrete recipe.

No, all it would take is water and grit. You can rub stones together to then make them fit together perfectly.
All you need is the time, grit, water, and labor to do so.
Can’t be done without massive pressure and heat. All of the stone you are talking about is either volcanic or metamorphic.
Concrete actually turns to powder over time.
I am intimately aware of the dozens of types of concrete I’ve used in construction, and I’m not sure what you just said.
I can make real Roman concrete without a degree more of heat than is required for the water to hydrate the lime, and most of the ingredients are volcanic in origin. It won’t turn to dust in your lifetime, but it will certainly turn to solid stone.
The limestone has to be calcined first which requires a massive amount of heat as demonstrated in the video you posted.
All concrete will eventually break down into it’s constituent components. It cannot turn into stone, that is impossible without a tremendous amount of heat and pressure.
Otherwise it’s always concrete.
It requires a massive amount of inefficient heat like the kind we get from burning wood, which is one of the most common sources of heat there is. There are more efficient ways to utilize wood as a heat source. It’s pretty obvious that the video is a micro-scale demonstration with steps removed, meant for survival purposes.
What you are describing is why salts, alumina powder/aggregate, and curing/sealing, are as important as the environment the product is used in. Modern concrete practices are not designed for longevity, but to disintegrate in a profitable manner, unless just a few extra laborious and costly steps are taken.
Why did TED TALK ban Rupert Sheldrake?
Because “science” today is nothing more than a belief system, a religion. Anybody who speaks against the priesthood will be banned or worse.
They usually ignore you at first, and if that doesn’t work, they will ridicule you calling you mad, insane, off the wall, nuts, whatever.
And if that still doesn’t work, they will ban your talks, books, etc.
But people are waking up, some faster, some slower. And the discrepancy between the awake and asleep has become so vast today, there is no more common language between the two groups. Only yelling and shouting, usually coming from the ones left behind.
Göbekli Tepe has been discovered and excavated by a German mainstream archaeologist, therefore there is no denying of its date. However, only a small fraction of the Göbekli Tepe complex has been unearthed and the rest can go back 20 or even 30 thousand years. Who knows?
As for the Peruvian site, they may have had the technology to melt rocks. How they did it? By sound, ultrasonic sound, maybe
All they needed was a near unlimited labor supply, water, and sand.
No aliens or magic tech necessary.
Ancient settlement dating back about 12,000 years, complete with sewage system and stone pillars that may be similar to the ones at Gobekli Tepe.
