Ancient Engineering at Puma Punku and Tiwanaku

Every once in a while you get the "how the heck did they do that!" moment, and here it is for you -

Machined from diorite ( I say machined because saw marks have been found, and the accuracy of the fine holes is around 0.1mm), copper tools wouldn't touch the stuff, so we are left wondering what was used to make them?

Also - why so complicated ? These "H" blocks interlock - and other stones have used metal tie-bars -


Weiging up to 200 Tonnes - these stones were transported from over 100 miles away at an altitude where no trees grow (no sleds, no rollers)

Plus - it was destroyed violently - then burried under 3 Metres of earth.

Is this a "plunder ditch" - or a direct hit ? -

Also worth looking at YouTube clips of it, as some of the carvings look like a settlement out of Star Wars!

I watched a show on TV a couple of weeks ago where they went over some of the stuff they've found at these two sites. Very precise corners and those lines with the holes drilled in them certainly give cause to wonder how anyone using stone age tools could have possibly made them. We still have a lot to learn about our past.

Perfect corners, parallel grooves, dovetails and boreholes - assembled into a structure that interlocks with millimetre precision - in a stone near impossible to work without diamond tipped tools - weighing up to 200 tonnes.

..... All this from a primative culture that could not read or write ?

It doesn't add up.

The weight and precision-cutting of the blocks points to a functional installation, perhaps a space or time portal -- certainly not a "cermonial" center

The fourth pic looks like a human bald head..i think this is a total destruction.

I think it is safe to say that our past history is way more interesting and complex then our academicians would have us believe.
