请问此处的from为什么用ing

Among the scattered rubble were massive stones of manifestly artificial shaping, and a little examination disclosed

the presence of some of that prehistoric Cyclopean masonry found on certain Pacific islands
and forming a perpetual archaeological puzzle.

我目前的理解仅能看出第一个句子是倒装句，Among the scattered rubble是表语，massive stones of manifestly artificial shaping是主语，and连接几个并列的句子，但是不懂forming为什么用ing。

我猜测可能是后面3个句子是并列主语，forming a perpetual archaeological puzzle是一个名词性从句，但这样中间那个句子就应该是定语从句，这样中间那个句子就有点翻译不同。

还望老师指点迷津。

擅长：动词用法,句法问题

found on certain Pacific islands and forming a perpetual archaeological puzzle 这是过去分词短语和现在分词短语，分别做some of that prehistoric Cyclopean masonry的后置定语。过去分词表示被动意义，现在分词表示主动意义。

网友的第一分句的分析正确，是倒装句，还原的话：Massive stones of manifestly artificial shaping were among the scattered rubble.

之后的分析欠妥哈。我给你提供一下大体思路：并列连词 and 连接的第二个分句中，a little examination 主语（无灵主语或无生命主语，Non-life subject。关于无生命主语，刘老师昨天写了一篇精彩文章：https://www.cpsenglish.com/article/215），谓语 disclosed，宾语 the presence；其中 found on certain Pacific islands 过去分词短语，forming a perpetual archaeological puzzle 现在分词短语，二者并列，共同作为 that prehistoric Cyclopean masonry 的限制性定语。
