4.Pumapunku


We are all familiar with the mystery surrounding the development of the Great Pyramid Giza in Egypt.  There's a lot of theories behind it, but we can't resist that the most interesting of them are the ones related to the extra terrestrial beings, or aliens. Did an outer being really helped ancient civilization to build this gigantic structure?  Since it was deemed as technically un-build-able by the ancient times' technological standard or lack thereof.  Although there are also reasonable theories on how it was made (like slave laboring or skilled workers who worked for a salary) but in the end, they were all theories.   But, Great Pyramid of Giza is not the only structure that generates extraterrestrial suspicions.  One of them, and the one that deserves more on the spotlight, is Pumapunku.

Pumapunku was once a wondrous grand temple complex in the highland of Bolivia.  Although it's now just a field of stone ruins, the precision of the stone cutting are very accurate, the lines are straight and has the same depth from one end to the other.  Stone age chisels are said to be unable to create this complexity and accuracy.


The interlocking system of the stones are so precise that it was once locked to each other like a puzzle. The stones weighs hundred of tons, couple of them are 800 tons and it was also smoothly polished.  Since it was built in the highland, it's almost impossible to imagine how the stones were being transported, or by whom. The lack of it's written records made Pumapunku a much loved subject of alien theorists regarding it's mysterious background. Personally, i'm not the kind of a person who hurriedly believes an unexplainable megalithic structures to be involved to extraterrestrialism, but i could use some imagination, in the midst of all theories of speculations.  Or maybe we all just want to believe.  Believing could be fun.  Mulder and Scully would be so proud.  Click here to read the next on the list.
