[Music] Bolivia South America here 45 miles west of leaz isolated high in the Andes mountains lie the mysterious ancient ruins of Pumapunku spread across a desert Plateau at an altitude over 12,000 ft the megalithic stones found here are among the largest on the planet measuring up to 26 ft long and weighing more than 100 tons each these are the mysterious ruins of Puma punu nearly 13,000 ft in the alapo of Bolivia what you have here are massive blocks of granite scattered like some kids toy blocks around the site [Music] it's like some giant cataclysm just
wiped out this entire area archaeologists are baffled by what Puma punu was how it looked and what the purpose of this enormous structure would have been mainstream scientists believe the site was originally constructed Ed about 2,000 years ago but in 1945 archaeologist Arthur posnanski proposed that Puma punu was much much older by examining the structures and what he believed were their original alignment with the Stars he dated the ruins to 15,000 BC Arthur petki was a researcher part Bolivian he worked at the site for many decades and he concluded that the site must have been
built about 177,000 Years Ago by studying the archeoastronomy of that particular sit we don't know how old Puma punu is we have had some circumstantial dating but we have been unable to date the stones of Puma punu themselves they could be thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years old we don't know I think the fascinating thing about Puma Puna is is how did these structures get built we're talking about stone that is 25 fet high stone that is hundreds of tons Puma punu is so unique in the way that it was constructed and shaped
and positioned that it is the most intriguing ancient site on the planet of all the places I've ever visited Puma punu is the one that I go back to time and again because no one can solve the [Music] mystery mainstream scholars believe the andesite blocks found at Pumapunku were formed by hand with primitive stone tools but some researchers point to the intricate stone work as evidence of the use of advanced Precision technology one of the amazing things here at Puma punu is the Precision of the blocks you can see with this block of granite that
it's really been cut at very accurate right angles not only do these Granite blocks have Precision corners but they also have these difficult drill holes that are going right through the Rock but how could such primitive people living perhaps tens of thousands of years ago have produced such Flawless stonework might the ancient Builders of Pumapunku have fabricated the megalithic stones with advanced technology technology of an otherworldly origin as ancient astronaut theorists believe you know Brian this is one of the most interesting and unusual Stones here at Puma punu it's got these perfect right angles and
then each of these small drill holes are basically evenly spaced along this routered groove to me it's clear that power tools have been used on this unusual block of stone here well exactly in this surface is as smooth as a tabletop like in your kitchen there's no wave to it or anything this was machined but who machined it it's an astonishing piece of work and how anyone could think that primitive human beings could have done this you know it's just crazy if anything looks like Ancient Aliens it's this Stone Puma punu is a large Temple
complex located on a high plateau in Bolivia [Music] mainstream archaeologists date the site from approximately 200 BC the people who lived here had neither a written language nor the wheel yet somehow they built one of the world's most complex [Music] structures ancient alien theorists view Puma punu as Clear Proof of extraterrestrial influence the ruins we find at Puma punu are simply extraordinary Puma punu defies Logic the interest of Pumapunku is not so much that the individual Stone slotted together perfectly but the fact that the stones as such are of such tremendous design that it requires
concepts of mathematics I which are far beyond anything we're actually using right now yet somehow in the past somebody has made that for a specific purpose and in a a way which even computer programs today would kind of go how is this possible in the highlands of Bolivia Puma punu some of these blocks are over 40 to 50 tons each what can you tell us about this boy they they had their uh stone cutting abilities you know pretty well fine-tuned for 5,000 years old I mean uh it's almost unbelievable but the these cutting planes that
they have on here are very impressive and some of the inside Cuts see like in in here all these interior Cuts very hard to do I mean it would be difficult for us with the our equipment to get that kind of precision let's talk a little bit about inside boxes o I was afraid you were going to pull something like this on me that is a hell of a piece of work I mean if we were to do something like that today we use what they have these uh computer-driven CNC machines which are they have
Diamond tips and uh you have a template that you know the computer follows and even then it may not come out is perfect because even though you can tell that obviously this piece broke off nowhere in here can you see any imperfection it's like and by the way when you're there if you go with your finger over these edges and you put a little bit pressure on your fingertip you can cut yourself this is how sharp the edges are [Music] are but where could the ancient peoples have developed such technology is it really possible that
extraterrestrial visitors provided different construction methods and tools when I saw these blocks I didn't really think that they were cut the first thing really that I I thought of was this appears very similar to Frank lyd wri's textile block system of construction which he used in his California houses in the early 1920s now what he did was he took concrete poured it into moles there actually are ancient Incan legends that suggest that they had the capability of softening the stone at Sakai who for example we find these gigantic stone blocks gigantic stone walls where it
looks as if those stones were molten put into place and then the stone hardened [Applause] again Bolivia South America here lie the ruins of Pumapunku a mysterious Temple complex located in the ancient city of TI Wako It is believed to have been built about 2,000 years [Music] ago the year he published his bestselling book Chariots of the Gods author Eric Von danin made a pilgrimage to this archaeological site for more proof of his controversial theory that extraterrestrial beings had visited Earth in the distant past Puma punu is in the Highland of Bolivia you stand there
and you are absolutely shocked there are gigantic platforms laying around at that time in 1968 there was no archaeological work done up there when Eric Von danin arrived at Pumapunku here he found evidence clearly of lost high technology we see laser Perfection drilled holes stone that has been somehow uh liquefied or almost kind of made vitrified and stuck together this is not possible without the use of high technology Eric was able to see these H blocks they're big Granite blocks all articulated and cut as if they were pre-manufactured and in such a way that they
would fit together and create these giant walls it was such a high te kind of construction that it boggled everyone's mind so what we have in Pumapunku is the traditional what I would say Eric fond danan tackling archaeology there is within the methodology of how these Stones were constructed a certain degree of difficulty which our ancestors simply never attained in the surrounding landscape of Tiano the stone Carvers they basically told him that it was almost impossible or extremely difficult to create these artifacts and that specifically why they would be doing it is something which really
defies explanation another aspect of Puma punko that captivated Von danin was the legend of its creation as put forward by the indigenous people of the region the population living there are called the imara and the imara themselves say that they had no involvement in building puma punu in fact when you ask them who built Puma punu they will point to the sky and they will say Los dioses the Gods in Pumapunku they say the gods constructed the place in one night this makes sense you have an extraterrestrial crew they come down to earth so they
construct with their tools just something which we would call today a basic Camp they beheld themselves like ethnologists would do they learn they teach a little humans they learn their language one day they disappear their job is over they take all their instruments back to the mother spaceship and left are only a few ruins of the basic Camp Puma punu is a field of stone ruins that both Thrills and stimulates the imaginations of ancient alien theorists in my opinion the most significant piece of evidence that we have in this entire ancient asona puzzle is puma
punu in the Highland of Bolivia [Music] while the pyramids at Giza are incredible feat of achievement compared to Puma punu the pyramids are child [Music] play logic does not exist at Puma punu because there we have megalithic structures which just lie about this entire site as if ripped apart by by some sort of a great force the blocks of Pumapunku were so finely cut that they once perfectly interlocked like the pieces of an elaborate puzzle but with the nearest Quarry over 10 Mi away how did these colossal Stones Some weighing hundreds of tons even get
here we are talking about the place four th000 M oversea level that means there are no trees up there which you could use for rollers nothing grows except a few grasses and bushes I have stood in front of many monuments however Puma punu takes the crown because what we find there is so inexplicable so in aievedirect mainstream archaeologists say that Puma punu was built by the imara Indians and we would all have to agree that in order to build something like Puma punu you need writing you need planning and you need some sort of a
idea where which piece goes and How It ultimately all fits together but there is one thing thing that all the mainstream archaeologists agree upon that the imara didn't have any writing so how is it possible that they built all of this without plans what's really amazing and why the ancient astronaut theists are so drawn to Pumapunku and Tiano is that the quality of the stonework and the immense size of these blocks is so incredible and perfect that there's actually evidence of Machining and that they were using machine tools to cut these [Music] blocks one of
these platforms is 800 tons and they are so smoothly polished you have some Stone megalithic stones with grooves which are just a few millimet inside which definitely cannot be made with stone AG chist it doesn't work with Stone Age chist so there is another technology behind it the lines cut into these rocks are exactly straight and precisely the same depth from one end to the [Music] other it's as if only Master Builders were allowed to work there because everything is so precise everything is so perfect you wonder how any of this was even possible [Music]
one of the most intriguing things there is that the stones that were used there aren't Sandstone they're granite and diorite the only Stone that's harder than diorite is Diamond so the only way that this could have been achieved is if the tools were tipped with diamonds American professors who were up there with their computer and other met measurements they were really shocked in their literature they say it is impossible to reconstruct Puma punu it's absolutely impossible but is it really difficult to believe that ancient peoples could have so precisely carved these stones or could build
such an incredibly intricate structure from [Music] them if it was ancient astronauts teaching them these building techniques why don't we see just perfect almost skyscraper like vertical edifices everything was all pyramid likee stone cutting techniques have been invented and reinvented and independently invented all over the world if you think of yourself as a god king and you want to have a structure built that's going to last thousands of years it's much better to build it out of perfectly fitting stones without mortar that degrades and decays and has to be maintained so we see mortarless structures
megalithic structures all over the [Music] world you have an anomaly here where on one hand these people are supposed to be very primitive they're just one step out of the Stone Age yet what they're doing are things that we couldn't even do today apparently or would have extreme difficulty and that is building with these giant blocks of stone perfectly fitting them together with other blocks interlocking them the ancient people of our time on this planet truly saw strange things they witnessed bizarre events but those stories other than in depictions and some artwork and things like
that they're gone for some reason they're just gone but Left Behind are incredible things that we have that make you wonder how in the heck were these things built those are great Mysteries and I think one of the things that keeps people just continuing to push for the answers are the fact that these things are so out there that they can't figure it out [Music]
