When does a myth become truth? Pt 3 - The Mystery of Puma Punku.
Puma Punku is in my opinion the most amazing and confusing historical site anywhere on earth....
Not many people have even heard of Puma Punku and as far as I'm concerned the reason for that is mainstream academics don't want to talk about. The site is situated in western Boliva a stones throw from the more well known historical site of Tiwanaku close to Lake Titicaca.
Tiwanaku is an amazing site in itself with many interesting anomalies when you consider some of the strange aspects of the site.
The picture above is of an area of the site known as the Kalasasaya sunken plaza and it has a 'wall of faces'. These faces depict the races of all of mankind, placed here at a time when the world wasn't in anyway connected! Click here for an excellent 360 degree view.
All races are represented and some are extremely weird like the face that some have postulated looks like the classic 'grey alien'.
Don't run away I'm not suggesting it is however the question needs to be answered, how could the builders of this site have possibly known about the many races that populated the planet when this was constructed? Mainstream academics have never answered the question.
Why?
Because it can't really be explained.
When you consider the level of technology that was allegedly available to the people who are supposed to have built it coupled with the fact they were supposedly not in contact with other continents you have an intriguing mystery.
Please take the time to take a deeper a look at Tiwanaku as it is an amazing archaelogical site however I do want to forge ahead with its 'sister' site Puma Punku as it is even more fascinating.
The name Puma Punku translates to 'The Puma's Door' and is believed to date to 536AD however some archaeologists have dated it thousands of years before this time, some even date it as far back as 15,000BC ! The site is one of total devastation as if it was blown up in antiquity or destroyed by some cataclysmic event. The blocks weighing up to 130 metric tonnes are strewn all over the place as if thrown around by a giant. Many are still buried in the earth as if the area was washed over by an enormous flood at some time in the distant past.
In these images is obvious that the builders were advanced as the cuts are perfect, the surfaces as smooth as glass and the angle of the cuts are astounding. The people that are supposed to have shaped these stones didn't have metal tools if mainstream academia are to be believed. Give me a break!
Look at the quality of these cuts.
As a layman you may look at it and think 'so what' but as any stonemason or engineer will tell you, those cuts are pretty damn difficult if not impossible without the aid modern machinery and techniques. We'll dig deeper into the astounding quality of this stonework as we continue.
This article by Amusing Planet is interesting as firstly has amazing pictures of the site but also some very interesting quotes. Here are some......
In assembling the walls of Puma punku, each stone was finely cut to interlock with the surrounding stones and the blocks fit together like a puzzle, forming load-bearing joints without the use of mortar. One common engineering technique involves cutting the top of the lower stone at a certain angle, and placing another stone on top of it which was cut at the same angle. The precision with which these angles have been utilized to create flush joints is indicative of a highly sophisticated knowledge of stone-cutting and a thorough understanding of descriptive geometry. Many of the joints are so precise that not even a razor blade will fit between the stones. Much of the masonry is characterized by accurately cut rectilinear blocks of such uniformity that they could be interchanged for one another while maintaining a level surface and even joints. The blocks were so precisely cut as to suggest the possibility of prefabrication and mass production, technologies far in advance of the Tiwanaku’s Inca successors hundreds of years later.
And a similar quote in the same article...
The most intriguing thing about Puma punku is the stonework. Puma punku was a terraced earthen mound originally faced with megalithic blocks, each weighing several tens of tons. The red sandstone and andesite stones were cut in such a precise way that they fit perfectly into and lock with each other without using mortar. The technical finesse and precision displayed in these stone blocks is astounding. Not even a razor blade can slide between the rocks. Some of these blocks are finished to 'machine' quality and the holes drilled to perfection. This is supposed to have been achieved by a civilization that had no writing system and was ignorant of the existence of the wheel. Something doesn’t add up.
Check out some of the close up pictures of the engineered stonework...
The one below is even more fascinating as every whole is the exact same distance apart and the exact same depth!
As you can see it is fairly evident that whoever built this temple if that's what is is clearly had access to advanced engineering techniques and tools. Graham Hancock author of Fingerprints of the Gods and Magicians of the Gods wrote this on this website regarding Puma Punku.
I have often thought about the high scientific ( specifically engineering ) expertise found at Puma Punku and how it might relate to Machu Picchu and indeed, all of Peru. I realize this is pure speculation, but considering the state of Puma Punku being totally dismantled by what appears to have been a muddy tidal wave from some kind of tsunami of sorts; I believe that site was the seat of a high command of personnel who was involved in overseeing most if not all of that part of the world. The sophistication of the interlocking granite blocks and the prior knowledge as suggested by such sophistication of design suggests a lot of brainpower located at that site. I think they had some way of knowing that a catastrophe was about to take place and they 'bugged out' to a safer place such as Machu Picchu. I will try to develop this line of thought over the next few posts to amplify on my theory. Peru is just too advanced to be created by the Inca. I believe the Inca just settled in already ancient structures and proceeded to build their own brand of civilization.
The evidence of highly advanced engineering continues with from eminent engineer Christopher Dunn author of Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt who is cited at the bottom of this piece from Revelations of the Ancient World .
Another “anomaly” is that Puma Punku shows perfectly drilled holes, showing patterns that we are all familiar with in modern times. But the precision, shapes and accuracy of those stoneworks are barely imaginable without computer-assisted machinery. This is not speculation. It is simply admitted by archeologists or engineers who visited Puma Punku.
It is true that there are existing drilling techniques which could allow drilling in stones like andesite (7/10 on the Mohs scale of hardness) but as long as techniques remain hand-driven, they can’t reach Puma Punku’s level of precision, let alone on so many occasions.
For any type of activity, if the goal is reaching a certain level of precision, there is a need for appropriate tools required to assess whether the end result is reached. Meaning that they had to have similar equipment to what we use today to demonstrate how flat, precise, and regular their end work is.
The flatness of stones and the straightness of cuts are almost immaculate. According to engineer Chris Dunn, some surfaces of Puma Punku megaliths are within 2/10,000 of an inch of being laser flat. Such precision is not reachable with hand tools. Only highly advanced powered systems, deep geometrical and mathematical knowledge can allow such results.
So what can we conclude from this?
When you consider the evidence I brought forward in the first of this series The Lost City of Dwarka showing that unbelievable stories of mythical cities are based on fact, and then in the second part Mohenjo-Daro - A city 'Nuked' in Antiquity it continues questioning western academia's interpretations of what Hindu and other Asian scholars call history.
With this in mind when you look at the startling feats of engineering seen at Puma Punku it becomes easier to call into question what we've been told about our distant past.
Now I'm not going to sit here and say to you that it was 'Aliens' or 'Gods' that were responsible for constructing Puma Punku. However someone with skills and technology equivalent to what we have today did, so who was it?
The technology that was seemingly available to our distant ancestors but it does raise a few questions.
- Where did the skills originate?
- What machinery or tools were available and where did they originate?
- Why has no serious investigation from mainstream academia taken place in regards to these questions?
As ever there is so much more to this story and the deeper you dig the most questions arise. I have only scratched the surface in this post in the hope of inspiring others to go and take a more in depth look at the ancient history we're spoon fed because in my opinion a lot of it has been 'decided' before serious investigation.
that's interesting post!
Thank you.
Another fantastic slice of information and history! It's remarkable that any "expert" would have the audacity to state that work of this magnitude was carried out with the use of primitive hand tools. In respect of the great flood as far as I'm aware pretty much every belief system and religion in the world has a flood myth. Like the wall of faces displays the truth of the ancient world is an interconnected civilisation based upon high architecture, science, astronomy and a deep understanding as to the true nature of reality (the Piri Reis map is another fascinating aside). Indeed much of this information is still held within the upper echelons of secret societies.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the keys to our future lay hidden within our ancient past. Vast amounts of information and artifacts are stored within museum/vatican vaults, they fail to conform to the dogmatic view of history that's been handed down to us and as such are kept from public scrutiny. Thanks for sharing this excellent post my friend, upvoted and resteemed!
Dead on my friend.
Piri Reis will know doubt make an appearance in future posts as it's an amazing piece of evidence regarding the mapping of the planet in antiquity. Puma Punku is unique also as it looks to have been deliberately dismantled or destroyed prior to a flood caused by a cataclysm. The place is at 12,000ft elevation so it was a pretty 'biblical' flood.
The hypothesis of the builders doing a runner as they had prior knowledge of the coming destruction is an interesting one that I'll be looking into. Some cosmic event methinks.
Cheers for reading and a great comment as ever dude.
I have loved this series TP - upvoted and resteemed. Here is my take though.
Just as artists and craftsmen exist today, they existed thousands of years ago too - and they set about to create beauty that our engineers, steemians etc create now.
And they had time on their hands, vast numbers of of perhaps underemployed peoples and they would have mastered their surrounds - say stone, rocks, mining, carving & sculpting. Stone-masonry in general.
Now take this a step further - they, like us build something and they want it to be perfect. So they cut, grind, sand to the get a 'great' fit and a smooth finish.
Now add a couple of thousand years of stone on stone weight, wind and water and all of a sudden that 'great' fit becomes a 'too perfect fit' one that was not possible by ancient technology.
In the end it was merely great craftsmanship combined with gravity and nature.
I know this isn't as romantic as what some historians would have you believe - but often the most logical explanation is the right one.
IMO.
SirKnight.
Hmmm, the problem with that theory is the engineering tolerances of the internal cuts and perfection of the drilled holes. No amount of time, effort, craftsmanship and luck could ever achieve this with the tools available to the alleged builders, especially when consider that were not talking sandstone either. No mate something else occurred here. There are many examples of ancient stonework and edifices which show the amazing skill of masons in the past however this is off the charts by comparison.
Wowwwwww....what a trip. Thank you again for another history lesson TremendosPercy!
I know right?! Puma Punku is a real head scratcher that forces people to consider the theory of advances races on earth in the very distant past. It makes me laugh that the mainstream academics ignore the people they say built it who themselves say they didn't as it was already there when their ancestors arrived!
"You built it" - "No we didn't"- "Well we have no other theories so you did!" It's such BS.
Thanks for reading and commenting babe.
Yep, it's just cunty...
Totally babe 😜

Thanks @msg768. Nice to win a prize.
Wow. I love your history lessons. So many fascinating places and so many questions that still aren't answered! Anyone who says history is boring ought to read your posts.
There are so many places in this category that get ignored as they don't fit the 'narrative' of the mainstream academics. And that is a lovely thing to say, thank you.
Thanks for reading and leaving such a kind comment.
The mysteries of places such as this are astounding. I believe there were two other greatly advanced technological eras, much like our today, on Earth in our past. And they were absolutely destroyed. Annihilated and lost forever, with few survivors to repopulate.
Great article- this is one I have not heard of before!
They certainly are astounding. I agree that we have had at least two epochs when advanced civilisations have populated the planet. The destruction is evident and the flood story can be found in all cultures around the world as well as in the geological records. Did they evolve here or come here? Plenty of circumstantial evidence of the latter, none whatsoever of the former. Watch this space.
Thanks for reading and commenting babe.
I'm on the fence whether they were placed or evolved. Nonetheless, great mysterious shares.
Dangit. Just what I need, another thing to unsettle my belief system. Damn you man. I saw the first couple photos and pretty much assumed it was like movie set pieces, like something made by Dwarves from Lord of the Rings. The style of the cuts and the holes drilled are absurdly clean and difficult.
Let us know if you find out the answers to all your questions please :) SOMEBODY knows. The truth is out there.
I agree the truth is out there however I fear this will forever remain a mystery.
I didn't really get that deep in the post, there is plenty more evidence regarding the lining up of the site to certain star points that archeoastronomers have looked into suggesting it's construction was way back.
Thanks for reading buddy, forget everything you know about our ancient history, most of it is different to what we've been told.
Very interesting! A worthwhile read @tremendospercy
Thanks for reading babe.
Awesome, I hadn't heard much about this site, that detail in the stone is phenomenal. I will have to speed up my post of the Egyptian hieroglyphs I hunted down in Australia a few years ago.
I'll have to check out the other post in this series, good stuff.
Thanks buddy, those hieroglyphs in Oz are amazing, the flying saucer is a mindfuck too! The aboriginal story of the two Egyptian brothers visiting in antiquity is unbelievable. One got killed by a snake! The irony eh.
Its crazy! So I had to find it while I was road tripping' the east coast. I felt like Indiana Jones. No info or signs anywhere!
hey, I know nothing of this story. Have you posted about it @the-fillosopher ?
Thanks for the reminder @spaingaroo, I almost forgot again.
I finished my post about it today if you want to take a look https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@the-fillosopher/egyptian-hieroglyphs-in-australia.
