I'm going there...I don't how soon, but I'm going. yeah man me too. awesome place A temple build of Granite and Diorite, (Diorite cannot be cut with anything else but Diamond tools) The processes and technologies involved in the creation of these temples are still not fully understood by modern scholars. In assembling the walls of Pumapunku, each stone was finely cut to interlock with the surrounding stones and the blocks fit together like a puzzle. A wall of the Akapana, the pyramid of Tiahuanacu, shows similar modular design. Blocks that are piled one on top of the other but the underside of the upper stone is cut at an angle. The top of the standing stone is cut at the same angle, as shown on the figure below.  This stone technology plainly contradicts what official archaeology suggests about the general state of development of the ancient peoples of South-America.

Your Brilliant, well you know I don't like Abbreevs. This Vid compliments Darryls image perfectly, although his image is a bit tainted after new years eves shenanigans............... dictionary.reverso.net/english-cobuild/shenanigansshenanigans You can use shenanigans to refer to rather dishonest or immoral behaviour, especially when you think it is amusing or interesting. INFORMAL n-plural ...the private shenanigans of public figures. See also: shearing she shebang shamanism. I was going to say your taking the piss but we would only get into that conversation about using urine as a lubrican't which in turn makes the copper so very Granite cutting hard ! ! ! ;D  I remember when the Gods spoke to me and they said go build us a Nile fuel converter fit for a Pharaoh, to which I replied. What is a Pharaoh.....? ! |

Yep, sure is, made by people with stone and copper tools and no written language  ....................HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA This looks to me like maybe a water drainage system built into the stone. Maybe even supply water. I'd really like to look at these up close to come to some conclusion as to what possible purpose some of these drilled holes could be.  |

Could be water, I think a lot of them are a steel locking system to lock the stones in place...............but cant be that, the Indians didnt have access to steel...........did they?

They have found copper alloy dog bone block ties...but those channels with small bores baffle me. And that reminds me..how did they make these complex alloy ties.... |

Oh and while I'm at it, most of this stuff in S.America is generally considered to be 800-1000 years old, do these dates seem strange to anyone, they all seem a hellava lot older than that to me.

Dating stone is guess work. Show me a radio carbon dated wheel at one of these sites and I will drop my doubt. ;D |

Most of us don't fall for the 1000 yd marker! these buildings are part of pre-history......the real history! Hunter/gatherers could not build these,and the tools that have been uncovered at the dawn of history could not achieve the precision that is requird to make the finished artifact. Very hightech abilities come at the end of humans journey and never at the start. They never built these astounding buildings like the great pyramid just to regress all the way back to piles of mud brick rubble. I believe they where the end of something not the start.  |
