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.
