I think a lot of stuff is petrified wood. I read an interesting article about the KailatrasTemple, one of the rock cut temples = mineral saturated megastructures or petrified buildings, at some point in history one ruler wanted to have it destroyed, it couldn't be done, the rock was too hard, well how did they "carve" it then. They simply removed the overburden and there the Temple was. The workers "carving" it said the same thing, the Temple revealed itself. It was mentioned in the same article, I'll try to find it, but it was several years ago and I didn't save it.
I urge you all when looking at ruins and structures start looking behind and around the structures or whatever you are looking at, you can always see things hiding or still barely there in the outcroppings.
Here's a 'smoking gun" . It is not being carved, sheeesh, it is being uncovered.
Buddhist stupa "carved out of rock" at Takht-I-Rustam Afghanistan. the first picture when it was first found, note the severe damage in the one corner, several more pictures after is was uncovered more, the last picture is the inside, the thing is HUGE.

These do look melted, excavated, restructured and reused for domestic dwellings. It's extraordinary. What a state.
I've finally been able to get time to look at the Melted Petra post. I get what you're saying and agree with most of it.
I'm still obsessed with the why, when, how, presenting in images like this in Lycea, (same with Petra rock face temple entrance) because I don't believe it's as simple as an existing building being melted per se, or dug out:
These don't look as if they've been buried, fossilised and excavated, but deliberately designed into that specific rock face. So i guess there are (at least) two forms of rock structure to elaborate upon.
The reason I use this image in particular is for the largest example, which hasn't finished 'printing', carved or cut or whatever the hell term should be used. I don't know what to call it, it just seems there's no other word.
I use the word 'printed' because it links to modern 3-D printing technology which we can see, and strikes as an example of a loading computer image whose connection was disturbed halfway through. The columns haven't even been rounded.
I know the word is wrong, can't think of a better one yet. It's a mission trying to explain the concept as it is...
One can see the idea was there, to construct a cave/temple entrance in the theme of the gods of war- all universal angles of Doric strength - no fluff of the Corinthian style. Crisp edges, sharpness. "Cosmic" style. Eternal truth in a building. But it seems like they only got so far.
It could be that they knew a tunnel/natural cave system existed within and was buried by a molten flow, but still the visual fact seems to be very deliberately and crisply CUT.
Vibration crisply cuts rock and stone.
If the globe was going nuts with electrical storms, deluges, man-made wars, sun malfunction, etc. there is no other place I'd want to be but deep within a solid rock formation with my tribe and my fingers crossed. (Helms Deep, innit.)
They're officially named tombs- it would be ironic (if not typical) if it was actually the very safest place to be in a global reset.
I've just realised I'm tying to follow up one comment and landing on another thread.
Sorry 'bout that. Too much background static to concentrate properly.
Pulling my head in. (For a while anyway.)
