Polygonal masonry is a descriptive wall form found in distinct Mycenaean, Greek, and Inca contexts, not one culture or one universal construction method.
Answer / theory: No. The label describes a form used in different places and periods. What supports it: Different cultures, dates, materials, and construction contexts. What is weak or disputed: Some regional influence may exist in specific areas, but not a single global origin. Evidence level: Strong Evidence against a single global style.

Inca builders developed distinctive fitted masonry, while Mycenaean and Greek polygonal walls are earlier and do not by chronology alone imply contact or transmission.
Answer / theory: The Incas mastered distinctive forms of fitted stonework, but polygonal masonry as a broad form existed elsewhere earlier. What supports it: Mediterranean and Mycenaean examples predate Inca examples. What is weak or disputed: Each tradition needs local study. Evidence level: Strong Evidence.

“Cyclopean” is a later mythic and architectural label for massive Mycenaean walls; the label does not establish literal giant builders.
Answer / theory: No. It is a mythic ancient label applied to massive walls. What supports it: Greek myth and literary tradition. What is weak or disputed: Literal giant-builder claims lack physical evidence. Evidence level: Mythic but source-supported as a label; weak as history.

The cataloged records place Stonehenge, Mycenae/Tiryns, Baalbek, Inca stonework, and Hartashen in distinct human cultural and engineering contexts; none establishes a shared lost advanced technology.
The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
