Puma Punku is a set of ruins in Bolivia, not well known outside of archaeologist and UFOlogist circles. Why have these stones attracted two seemingly opposite groups?
The ruins are what is left of the Pumapunku pyramid, a temple that stood at least 56 feet tall. It is located in Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titicaca, a region associated with pre-Incan culture. Archaeologists believe the temple may have been built for worshipping the creation god Viracocha, but have no definitive evidence either way.
But the real mystery lies in how Puma Punku was built. Many of the blocks weighed 200 tons, with one even weighing in at 450 tons! How were these blocks brought to a plateau 13,000 feet high? While Stonehenge’s method is often explained as stones being rolled on tree trunks, the tribe would have had no access to trees on the barren plateau. The wheel had supposedly not been invented by that point, leaving archaeologists without an explanation.
Once the stones were brought to the site, they were cut so precisely that they could be fit together like puzzle pieces.
Some of these stones have perfectly straight grooves in them that are only 1 cm deep. Note the sets of equi-distant holes that were drilled in the picture below. If the stones are made of the hardest granite there is, how could the tribe have possible put these markings into the stones? What tools did they have available to them, and where did they come from?
UFO and alien experts believe the people who built these stones had contact with extraterrestrial beings. This is often referred to as the “ancient astronaut theory”. These beings would have either completely built the temple themselves, or assisted the humans in building it by providing instruction and advanced tools.
Scientists call these theories bunk, but cannot provide any better explanation for how primitive humans fit 200-ton stones together or planned the intricate process without the ability to read or write.
I am a sculptor. I have spent a couple hundred dollars cutting a football size piece of Red Jasper, which is about the hardness of the stones at Puma-Punka. I use diamond impregnated cutting tools and the best power tools I can find. The diamond will barely cut the stone. They wear out after a few hours and must be replaced. Steel power chisels will just bounce off the stone. It is not possible to even chip the stone with a hand tool and a heavy steel hammer. I have no idea how the Puma-Punka stone could have been mined or taken from the ground, The stone I have cannot be chipped or flaked off. It can only be ground off, similar to sanding wood, but you must use something harder than the stone that will be abrasive enough to make any progress. For a humbling experience get your self a piece of Granite and hit it with a hammer and chisel.
I think you can cut granite with rope and wet sand, and last but not in the least a whole lot of time. Rope they had, sand they had and a whole lotta time. It can be done. I have seen a demonstration of the technique.
I dont know if aliens did or did not have anything to do with Puma Punku ,but I do beleive we are very far off on the history of places like this and need to open our eyes and minds and realize primative man did not build structures like this with stone chissels and hammers ! Aliens , maybe? Or maybe another advanced civilization before us! But I for one have ruled out primitive man building these without any help . Historians please quit teaching this Crap!

Why everybody say that PUMA PUNKU has been made with alien help??
I am not able to undestand it…Why don't we believe that people , human cyvilisation had adanced technologies? The homo sapiens was more stupid then now is??? It's made by people who lost their civilisation – maybe cause of big cataclism. That's all. We shouldn't to mix the achivements of people with aliens technology.I do not believe that aliens made puma punku.
That is a very reasonable theory however, where are the tools? Why were the tools destroyed in the "cataclism" and not the stones? Why are there not even remnants of the supposedly "advanced" tools that were used? If they were so advanced where is their written language?
I beleive these ruins are alot older than 2000 years. From a geological standpoint, the uplifting of this area to two miles above sea level (There are fossilzed sea flora all over the place) could have only occured between 100,000 to 20,000 years ago. I am an anthropology student and tool making is one of the main ways to identify or classify evolutionary changes in our species. Has anyone found any human or otherwise remains in this area?
Put the hash pipe down and get on with your lives a.ssholes… no wait, read my brilliant theory.
Aliens did it, people. Fuc.king aliens did it and they're out there and they're gonna get you and they're gonna fuc.king eat you and then maybe snack on your pets and reprogram your daughter to be a dirty wh.ore for big black coc.ks. That's right, stoners, and they weren't illegal aliens like the ones that took your job and your girlfriend, they're fuc.king space aliens with motherships and lasers that'll melt your fuc.king brains!!! Run stoners, ruuuunnnnnnn!!!
You need to get your care home's physician to either up the strength of the medication you are on or try a long walk across the Atlantic…
What a dork…there's no period in the middle of the "F" word.
u r a simple fool who has know idea how hard this would be to do .So instead of coming up a explaintion you call thinking people names. You are the def of a fool.MABY JESUS DID IT HA HA fool
dear dragon did u believe inWMD s vote 4 bush?
Grow up POTTY MOUTH…
your a real card, maybe you need some black cock little boy with the foul mouth
O.K., so let us presume the tools used to cut these stones were made from diorite, a meterial harder than the stones, sounds plausable. Now explain what tools were used to make the diorite tools, which would have had to been harder than the diorite itself?!
Has anyone ever thought that man made these structures. From what i understand there has been a highly advanced civilization on this planet before us. This place was more then likely nuked. We are just now getting back to that technology. Our govenments hide alot of things from us. Eventually the truth will be known. Now i am not saying there hasnt been alien entervention in the past or the present . I myself have seen certain things that i can only explain as 1 of 2 things either we are more technologicaly advanced than our governments admit or what i saw was not from this world.
Could those that built Puma Punku be from Atlantis?
i get the feeling that that was not the place of important but more of storage, im not familiar with the island or the land layout but look for a natural resource like a spring or waterfall or volcano vent something where they would have gotten their power and we will find the real construction site.
Why is it that whenever the origons of a structure are regarded as unknown ( i.e. These structures)or out of the ordinary or unexplainable, do kooks, ideologues , and nitwits, immediately assume the least likely cause or reason?There are a million more likely possibilities to consider before attributing the unexplained with things we don t even know exist.
Just because something is perfectly crafted doesn t mean little green men did it.
Just because it can t be explained , doesn t mean ET did it.
How can you have an expert (UFO) in a field that has zero scientific validity or living proof that we can refer to in order to actually identify what an alien is or looks like or would do or……?
Think people . Don t be stupid!! I'm not saying aliens don t exist . I'm saying evidence linking aliens to structures like these doesn t exist. Its just filling blanks in with fantasies of alien visitation.
Can some one explain me where did they get the design plans for the interlocking of stones? Where is the pen and paper, and the ruler, and the maths to plan the precision holes, shaped that way? How or where did they get the idea? It took 20 years or plus for designers to create standard computer cases with intelligent hardware interlocking. Some are still living in the age of screws.

Could someone translate this for me?
The ones that built it came from Atlantis
It depends on what you consider "aliens". In the book of Genesis it details how the "sons of god" came from the heavens and would mate with human females creating a hybrid race reffered to as the nephilim. What many consider to be neanderthal remains are in my opinion actually remains of this human/alien or human/angelic cross breeding. It was this mixed society of humans, nephilim, and angels/aliens that created most if not all of the megalithic structures around the world. The book of genesis also describes the flood that wiped out this society leaving only Noahs family of humans surviving to the post flood world.
As long as they were able to talk to one another then they also had a means of communication sufficient to build these structures. The problem really lies with the technology necessary; it simply was not available as far as we know. I've seen these blocks and absolutely convinced they were tooled with some advanced method or history lost to us.
South America contains some real mysteries that point to an advanced civilization in pre-history. As far as the nay-sayers and pooh-poohers, they may as well go back to laughing at people like Columbus and Darwin, a spherical earth revolving around the sun, flight and travel beneath the sea. They are simply taking the place of the small minds who came before and left this a legacy of foolish doubt for them to take up.
I call this Bill Nye Seth Shostak-ism after two scientists who openly laugh at theories such as discussed here. Their response to these ideas are silly and childish mainly because they cannot offer anything plausible on their own; they cannot even discuss it without launching into 3rd grade put downs. Scientists as dopes.
I liked your explanation, it's plausible and thought out. I just imagine it would have been impossibly long to accomplish.
Have you ever tried to drill a hole in oak? with a steel drill by hand or even in a drill press? I doubt you could make it straight? Go to a hardware store and get some things and try. Then reply to us and tell us they drilled a hole in a materal as hard as diamond with a stick with rock glued to it… lmao, idiots
Stop… "It is much more logical to assume that the cuts were made by tools made with diorite." Did we just find diorite tools already fashioned lying around or were we forced to fashion the tools from, perhaps you could demonstrate making the tools starting with 2 hunks of diorite…
Finally somebody who addressed the fact that this structure was being built so it could not be torn/knocked down.
I am more interested in the why. What was the reason to build this structure that would last this long? A people/race with the knowledge to work with this material could have worked with many other materials that would have lasted longer than their generation and many more to come. What was this structure meant to be? Why the fear of it being knocked/torn down?
It is said the pyramids were made to house knowledge/records; was puma punku meant as a storage facility for knowledge? Or was it meant to store dangerous materials like a nuclear waste facility or weapons magazine? Is it possible that these materials caused destruction before the housing was completed?
Are you implying that the people who built Puma Punku didn't believe that the world was round? What does comparing modern ignorance with ancient beliefs have to do with ancient man designing and building puma punku?
Try making a blueprint of that place to inform others how to build it without geography, let alone a writing system. These people had NO writing system!
