  • 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 -

    http://www.world-mysteries.com/pumapunku1.jpg

    The Site at Puma Punku - is atributed to the Incas, but they actually deny they built it themselves. - They say it was already there when they arived !
    Carbon dating is anywhere between 200yrs BC to 14,000 yrs BC.

    "Chronicler Cieza de León reported that when he asked local Aymara Indians if the buildings at Tiwanaku were built by the Incas, ‘they laughed at the question, repeating ... that they were built before they reigned, but that they could not state or affirm who built them. However, they had heard from their forefathers that all that are there appeared overnight. [T]hey also say that bearded men were seen on the island of Titicaca and that these people constructed the building of Viñaque ...’4 According to a local tradition, the Tiwanaku complex was built at the ‘beginning of time’ by the founder-god Viracocha and his followers, who caused the stones to be ‘carried through the air to the sound of a trumpet’. Another account speaks of Viracocha creating a ‘heavenly fire’ that consumed the stones and enabled large blocks to be lifted by hand ‘as if they were cork’."

    Their Religion also says that the founder-God arrived there and sent out all the tribes to cover the earth.

    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!

    A variety of clamp forms were used, and the location indicates that the metal was cast in-situ.
    A spectrographic analysis of a surviving clamp showed that it was made of an unusual alloy – 95.15% copper, 2.05% arsenic, 1.70% nickel, 0.84% silicon and 0.26% iron.9 A portable smelter operating at extremely high temperatures would have been required for this purpose.

    From what I know of ores, this seems to be an impure copper alloy - possibly chalcopyrite (peacock ore) found with traces of aresnic in there already.

      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.
