Three thousand miles away in the Republic of Bolivia, there’s a place called Tiwanaku. Here you will find ancient ruins which are amazingly similar to the statues of Easter Island. Tiwanaku is so ancient that it defies modern dating techniques. It is estimated to be over 17,000 years old. Perhaps the oldest city in the world, and somehow someone constructed the sculptures at Tiwanaku in the same style and with the same enigmatic expressions as their distant cousins on Easter Island.
But while most tourists flock to the ruins of Tiwanaku, perhaps the most mysterious of all ancient sites lie just a few hundred yards away: Puma Punku. Puma Punku is a field of stone ruins that both thrills and stimulates the imaginations of ancient astronaut theorists.
Some call it the most significant evidence in the entire ancient alien puzzle. While the Pyramids at Giza are an incredible feat of achievement, compared to Puma Punku, the Pyramids are child’s play.
Puma Punku was once a very impressive building. The blocks of Puma Punku were so finely cut that they were once perfectly interlocked like the pieces of an elaborate puzzle. But with the nearest quarry over ten miles away, how did these colossal stones, some weighing hundreds of tons, even get here? We are talking of a place 4000 meters above sea level, which means there are no trees up there, which you could use for rollers. Nothing grows except a few types of grass and bushes.
As of today, the megalithic structures of Puma Punku are lying around the site as if ripped apart by some great force, which is baffling. Not only is it hard to comprehend how it was built, but who destroyed this, and with what force did they manage to accomplish that?
You can stand in front of many monuments and be amazed, but Puma Punku takes the crown. What we find there is so inexplicable and unachievable that it seems to define all logic. How was all of this done, and for what purposes?
Mainstream archeologists say that the Aymara Indians built Puma Punku. But everyone agrees that to make something like Puma Punku, you’ll need at least advanced writing and planning skills. But there is one thing that all the mainstream archeologists agree upon: The Aymara Indians didn’t have any form of writing. So how could they possibly build all of this without basic writing skills?
What’s even more impressive is that the quality of the stonework and the immense size of these blocks is so incredible that this might be evidence of advanced machining. That is the reason many ancient astronaut theorists are drawn to this place. It looks like they were using machine tools to cut and work on these blocks.
One of these massive platforms weighs 800 tons and is perfectly smoothly polished. There are some megalithic stones with grooves, which definitely cannot be made with Stone Age materials. The lines cut into these rocks are perfectly straight and precisely the same depth from one end to the other.
It’s as if they used very advanced tools to accomplish this level of precision. Everything is so perfectly thought out and professionally made, you wonder how any of this was possible in a time when people were supposed to be very primitive.
One of the most intriguing things is that the stones they used were granite and diorite. The only rock that’s harder than diorite is diamond. So they could have achieved this only if the tools were tipped with diamonds.
American professors who were up there with their computers and other measurement tools were shocked. Their literature says it’s impossible to reconstruct Puma Punku with modern tools. It’s hard to believe that a primitive ancient civilization could have so precisely carved these stones or could build such an incredibly intricate structure. There seems to be an anomaly here. On the one hand, these people are supposed to be very primitive, since they’re just one step out of the Stone Age. Yet they’re doing things that we couldn’t even do today.
Uncovering the mystery of just how these incredible structures were built would only solve one piece of the puzzle. Finding out why they were made and how they were used poses equally compelling questions that may not be answerable here on earth.
