1
00:00:00,999 --> 00:00:06,372
I'm in Tiwanaku,
Bolivia, where the
2
00:00:06,398 --> 00:00:10,999
Incas say mankind was created.
3
00:00:10,999 --> 00:00:14,999
Not far from here are the
mysterious ruins of Puma Punku,
4
00:00:14,999 --> 00:00:18,999
which feature magnificent
megalithic blocks.
5
00:00:18,999 --> 00:00:23,000
Today, most archaeologists
believe that Puma Punku was part
6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,999
of an ancient temple complex,
but they are baffled by the
7
00:00:27,999 --> 00:00:30,999
uniformly shaped and sharp edged
stone blocks found all over the
8
00:00:30,999 --> 00:00:35,501
site.
They are also puzzled by an even
9
00:00:35,501 --> 00:00:39,999
bigger mystery: What type of
structure did these blocks
10
00:00:39,999 --> 00:00:43,999
actually form?
Could it be that the ruins of
11
00:00:43,999 --> 00:00:47,999
Puma Punku offer evidence of
advanced, extraterrestrial
12
00:00:47,999 --> 00:00:51,999
technology being used in the
ancient past?
13
00:00:51,999 --> 00:00:55,999
For an ancient astronaut
theorist, there are few sites on
14
00:00:55,999 --> 00:00:59,999
Earth more intriguing than this
one, and that's why I'm here
15
00:00:59,999 --> 00:01:03,999
investigating the incredible
mystery of Puma Punku.
16
00:01:03,999 --> 00:01:09,999
My name is Giorgio Tsoukalos.
I explore the world that exists
17
00:01:09,999 --> 00:01:15,709
between reality and speculation,
the known and the unknown.
18
00:01:15,709 --> 00:01:18,999
What we've been taught by
mainstream scholars is not the
19
00:01:18,999 --> 00:01:22,999
whole picture.
But I'm convinced that every day
20
00:01:22,999 --> 00:01:26,999
we are one step closer to the
truth.
21
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,999
High in the Andes Mountains, in
the Altiplano desert, is
22
00:01:37,999 --> 00:01:43,709
Tiwanaku, one of the most rugged
and desolate places on Earth.
23
00:01:43,709 --> 00:01:47,999
This region of Bolivia has seen
its fair share of warfare,
24
00:01:47,999 --> 00:01:51,999
invasion and turmoil over the
years, but I'm here to see if it
25
00:01:51,999 --> 00:01:57,999
also experienced contact with
extraterrestrials.
26
00:01:57,999 --> 00:02:03,334
In 1549, while searching for the
capital of the Inca Empire,
27
00:02:03,334 --> 00:02:07,501
Pedro Cieza de León and his
Spanish conquistadors discovered
28
00:02:07,501 --> 00:02:11,999
the ruins of what looked like a
massive temple complex at what
29
00:02:11,999 --> 00:02:15,999
is now called Tiwanaku.
Mainstream archaeologists
30
00:02:15,999 --> 00:02:20,709
suggest that these ruins were
once the center of the Tiwanaku
31
00:02:20,709 --> 00:02:25,999
civilization, with approximately
40,000 inhabitants, but little
32
00:02:25,999 --> 00:02:29,999
is known about the people who
lived here or the structures
33
00:02:29,999 --> 00:02:35,709
they left behind.
Of special interest are the
34
00:02:35,709 --> 00:02:39,999
walls of this large
square shaped courtyard, which
35
00:02:39,999 --> 00:02:44,999
features numerous carved stone
faces that suggest those of
36
00:02:44,999 --> 00:02:53,999
extraterrestrial visitors.
But located just a half a mile
37
00:02:53,999 --> 00:02:57,999
away from the temple at Tiwanaku
lie the ruins of what is thought
38
00:02:57,999 --> 00:03:02,501
to be yet another temple
complex: the mysterious site
39
00:03:02,501 --> 00:03:06,999
known as Puma Punku, "the
Gateway of the Puma."
40
00:03:06,999 --> 00:03:10,999
The name was given by the local
Aymara people, who found
41
00:03:10,999 --> 00:03:15,000
artifacts at the site depicting
imagery of warriors wearing
42
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,999
masks made of puma skulls.
But the Aymara have only
43
00:03:19,999 --> 00:03:24,999
inhabited the area for around
800 years, and Puma Punku is
44
00:03:24,999 --> 00:03:30,501
believed to have been built
thousands of years ago.
45
00:03:30,501 --> 00:03:34,999
But what was it?
A temple?
46
00:03:34,999 --> 00:03:38,999
A meeting place?
Some elaborate monument?
47
00:03:38,999 --> 00:03:42,999
All of these possibilities have
been suggested, but to this day
48
00:03:42,999 --> 00:03:46,999
no one knows just what this
place was, who built it, or
49
00:03:46,999 --> 00:03:52,999
exactly how old it really is.
But what's even more intriguing
50
00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:55,999
is that the blocks here don't
even look like those found at
51
00:03:55,999 --> 00:04:00,999
Tiwanaku.
It is one of the places where
52
00:04:00,999 --> 00:04:06,999
logic no longer makes sense,
because the blocks that we have
53
00:04:06,999 --> 00:04:12,999
here are unique on this entire
planet.
54
00:04:12,999 --> 00:04:18,999
This is the only place.
55
00:04:18,999 --> 00:04:21,999
So check it out.
Here are the awesome, awesome
56
00:04:21,999 --> 00:04:26,999
H blocks.
They're made from solid blocks
57
00:04:26,999 --> 00:04:31,709
of precisely shaped andesite.
Whenever I see them, I I
58
00:04:31,709 --> 00:04:34,999
and this is just this feeling
that you get at Puma Punku
59
00:04:34,999 --> 00:04:38,999
I'm at a loss for words, because
this here is something that
60
00:04:38,999 --> 00:04:42,501
can't be found anywhere else in
the world.
61
00:04:42,501 --> 00:04:45,999
Mainstream archaeologists
believe that these H blocks were
62
00:04:45,999 --> 00:04:49,709
created by hand, with primitive
stone and metal tools.
63
00:04:49,709 --> 00:04:52,999
Tools, I should mention, that
they have never found examples
64
00:04:52,999 --> 00:04:58,709
of.
But what's so very interesting
65
00:04:58,709 --> 00:05:02,999
is that they seem as if they are
part of a larger picture.
66
00:05:02,999 --> 00:05:10,999
That if you put them together,
they form a solid wall, which is
67
00:05:10,999 --> 00:05:13,999
very incredible.
If another block was placed on
68
00:05:13,999 --> 00:05:18,999
top or this was placed on top of
another rock, these are features
69
00:05:18,999 --> 00:05:24,999
that make these two blocks fit
together seamlessly.
70
00:05:24,999 --> 00:05:28,999
Because the one thing that we
have to remind ourselves with
71
00:05:28,999 --> 00:05:33,999
this particular construction
style, no mortar, no binding
72
00:05:33,999 --> 00:05:39,709
agent was ever used.
These pieces are so perfect that
73
00:05:39,709 --> 00:05:44,000
they fit together interlockingly
in such a way that you don't
74
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,999
need anything with which to bind
together the two or three or
75
00:05:48,999 --> 00:05:52,999
hundreds of pieces.
Other examples of this type of
76
00:05:52,999 --> 00:05:57,000
precise, interlocking stonework
can be found in Cusco, at
77
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,999
Saksaywaman and even Machu
Picchu.
78
00:06:00,999 --> 00:06:06,999
But nothing with the
sophistication of this place
79
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:08,999
right here.
I mean, it's incredibly
80
00:06:08,999 --> 00:06:14,999
enigmatic.
Everywhere I turn, I see more
81
00:06:14,999 --> 00:06:18,999
and more incredible blocks that
can't be explained by mainstream
82
00:06:18,999 --> 00:06:21,999
scientists.
This is pretty amazing.
83
00:06:21,999 --> 00:06:24,999
I mean, check this out.
If you look at this groove
84
00:06:24,999 --> 00:06:27,999
right here...
I mean, forget chicken bones.
85
00:06:27,999 --> 00:06:31,999
You simply cannot do this with
primitive tools.
86
00:06:31,999 --> 00:06:36,999
And you've got these holes
drilled at an equidistant, as if
87
00:06:36,999 --> 00:06:41,709
it's some type of a female piece
to a male piece.
88
00:06:41,709 --> 00:06:44,999
So what was it that actually fit
into this?
89
00:06:44,999 --> 00:06:49,000
Because one thing, to me, is
crystal clear, that this here
90
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,999
or any of these pieces they
have nothing to do with any type
91
00:06:53,999 --> 00:06:57,334
of embellishments.
These look like technical
92
00:06:57,334 --> 00:07:02,999
components, part of a larger,
almost industrial construction.
93
00:07:02,999 --> 00:07:08,999
I've got a little paper clip,
94
00:07:08,999 --> 00:07:11,999
ordinary paper clip that I've
just unfurled.
95
00:07:11,999 --> 00:07:17,999
To see how deep they go, and
they actually go equidistant all
96
00:07:17,999 --> 00:07:22,999
the way down.
I mean, that is something that
97
00:07:22,999 --> 00:07:27,709
cannot be achieved with... with
chicken bones.
98
00:07:27,709 --> 00:07:30,999
As far as I'm concerned, these
stone blocks had to have been
99
00:07:30,999 --> 00:07:37,999
cut with some type of advanced
technology... but what?
100
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:42,999
Back in 2012, I met up with
machinist and toolmaker Chris
101
00:07:42,999 --> 00:07:46,709
Dunn at his workshop in
Danville, Illinois, to put a
102
00:07:46,709 --> 00:07:51,709
Puma Punku stone sample through
the ultimate test.
103
00:07:51,709 --> 00:07:53,999
We've got a
sample of the laser cut.
104
00:07:53,999 --> 00:07:59,999
This is the diamond wheel cut.
And the top surface is the
105
00:07:59,999 --> 00:08:03,999
original cut surface from Puma
Punku.
106
00:08:03,999 --> 00:08:05,999
So now we can compare the
difference between all three
107
00:08:05,999 --> 00:08:08,999
cuts.
Looking at an actual
108
00:08:08,999 --> 00:08:11,999
piece of precision cut stone
from Puma Punku under a
109
00:08:11,999 --> 00:08:15,999
microscope, Chris compared the
two modern cutting techniques
110
00:08:15,999 --> 00:08:20,999
with the part of the stone cut
thousands of years ago.
111
00:08:20,999 --> 00:08:24,999
Even taking into account
centuries of time and weather,
112
00:08:24,999 --> 00:08:29,709
Chris's comparison revealed
incredible differences.
113
00:08:29,709 --> 00:08:31,999
You've got
vitrification...
114
00:08:31,999 --> 00:08:35,000
upon the laser cut side...
and then, of course, you've got
115
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,999
circular tool marks on, uh...
the the side cut with the
116
00:08:39,999 --> 00:08:42,999
diamond saw.
And then, whatever tool they
117
00:08:42,999 --> 00:08:45,999
used to... cut the ancient
surface must have been a
118
00:08:45,999 --> 00:08:49,709
different method.
Now, do you think
119
00:08:49,709 --> 00:08:53,334
it's possible that some type of
a diamond precision tool was
120
00:08:53,334 --> 00:08:57,334
used on the old surface, but
because it was such a long time
121
00:08:57,334 --> 00:09:02,999
ago, that over time, the surface
became a bit more rough and
122
00:09:02,999 --> 00:09:06,334
we're talking 10,000 or even
15,000 years ago?
123
00:09:06,334 --> 00:09:08,999
That is a reasonable
speculation.
124
00:09:08,999 --> 00:09:12,501
I think we have to start
examining, um...
125
00:09:12,501 --> 00:09:17,999
a little more sophisticated
tools that no longer exist.
126
00:09:17,999 --> 00:09:20,999
The cuts from the
diamond saw were the best
127
00:09:20,999 --> 00:09:25,501
comparison to those found on the
stone blocks at Puma Punku...
128
00:09:25,501 --> 00:09:28,999
so we're talking about the
sharpest, most sophisticated
129
00:09:28,999 --> 00:09:32,999
cutting tool we have today.
So, how could a so called
130
00:09:32,999 --> 00:09:37,999
"primitive society" have
achieved such sophisticated
131
00:09:37,999 --> 00:09:43,334
stone carving techniques?
Check out this block right here.
132
00:09:43,334 --> 00:09:46,000
There's something really cool
about this one.
133
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,999
First, I wanted to show you
true north on my compass...
134
00:09:49,999 --> 00:09:55,999
which, as you can see...
this is true north.
135
00:09:55,999 --> 00:10:00,000
Now, watch what happens.
All of a sudden...
136
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,999
true north is over there.
It's in the complete opposite
137
00:10:05,999 --> 00:10:10,999
direction...
and here, even more so...
138
00:10:10,999 --> 00:10:15,999
down there.
This is wild.
139
00:10:15,999 --> 00:10:20,999
So... what is going on here?
Clearly, this rock has been
140
00:10:20,999 --> 00:10:24,999
somehow magnetized.
So, was it exposed to some
141
00:10:24,999 --> 00:10:29,999
electromagnetic waves?
Or is it like this because, at
142
00:10:29,999 --> 00:10:35,999
some point, these blocks
underwent or came in contact
143
00:10:35,999 --> 00:10:39,999
with something strange?
I mean, this whole place is
144
00:10:39,999 --> 00:10:43,999
bizarre.
Below the plateau, where the
145
00:10:43,999 --> 00:10:47,999
H blocks are located, are the
steps and walls marking the
146
00:10:47,999 --> 00:10:53,334
edges of the Puma Punku mound.
Now I can truly see the scale of
147
00:10:53,334 --> 00:10:58,999
the sight.
If you look down all the way,
148
00:10:58,999 --> 00:11:02,999
you can see, it's perfectly
level, it's perfectly level.
149
00:11:02,999 --> 00:11:06,999
This is a newly excavated area
that I haven't seen before
150
00:11:06,999 --> 00:11:10,709
and again, it shows tremendous
precision.
151
00:11:10,709 --> 00:11:12,999
Check out this, for example,
right here.
152
00:11:12,999 --> 00:11:18,334
What's really interesting is
that you can't even put a
153
00:11:18,334 --> 00:11:23,999
piece of paper in between
the fittings; and no mortar
154
00:11:23,999 --> 00:11:25,999
was used.
So, I mean, this is really
155
00:11:25,999 --> 00:11:29,999
incredible stuff and this is
very, very, very old.
156
00:11:29,999 --> 00:11:36,876
But, at the same time...
it was just utter perfection.
157
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:42,999
The
Spanish conquerors were not able
158
00:11:42,999 --> 00:11:47,999
to move such gigantic blocks.
And then the Inca ruler said,
159
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:50,000
"It was not us who made
Puma Punku.
160
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,794
It was the gods."
161
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,794
It was the gods."
162
00:11:59,999 --> 00:12:03,999
just a half a mile from the
H blocks at Puma Punku, is a
163
00:12:03,999 --> 00:12:08,999
giant stone structure called
"The Gate of the Sun."
164
00:12:11,999 --> 00:12:15,999
Here you can find depictions of
the god Viracocha and his winged
165
00:12:15,999 --> 00:12:19,999
children.
Look at those incredible
166
00:12:19,999 --> 00:12:24,000
carvings.
It's one giant piece; a monolith
167
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,999
made of andesite.
It's incredibly difficult to
168
00:12:27,999 --> 00:12:31,999
carve this with any type of
tool, because it has to be
169
00:12:31,999 --> 00:12:35,876
harder than the current
andesite.
170
00:12:38,999 --> 00:12:43,999
In the 1960s, at this
same location, a wall was
171
00:12:43,999 --> 00:12:46,999
excavated to reveal a
fascinating array of stone
172
00:12:46,999 --> 00:12:50,999
heads.
But who do these strange heads
173
00:12:50,999 --> 00:12:53,999
represent?
There is one structure here that
174
00:12:53,999 --> 00:12:59,999
may provide a clue.
This is a place where the
175
00:12:59,999 --> 00:13:04,999
Bennett Monolith was discovered.
And it's a representation of
176
00:13:04,999 --> 00:13:09,501
Pachamama 21 feet tall.
The largest monolith ever
177
00:13:09,501 --> 00:13:13,999
uncovered here.
"Pachamama" essentially means
178
00:13:13,999 --> 00:13:19,999
"the cosmic mother," because
"Pacha" means "cosmos" and
179
00:13:19,999 --> 00:13:21,999
"mama"... well, I don't have to
explain that.
180
00:13:21,999 --> 00:13:26,999
And so the idea is that this is
a place of creation.
181
00:13:26,999 --> 00:13:30,999
And I find that interesting,
because if you look at the
182
00:13:30,999 --> 00:13:35,999
different heads that are built
into the wall, some look, uh,
183
00:13:35,999 --> 00:13:43,999
very different than others.
So the question arises are
184
00:13:43,999 --> 00:13:47,999
these heads representing
different races of humans?
185
00:13:47,999 --> 00:13:52,999
Or are they depictions of the
so called gods alien visitors
186
00:13:52,999 --> 00:14:00,999
who came down from the sky?
It's fascinating to look around
187
00:14:00,999 --> 00:14:05,000
and see these ancient monuments
at Tiwanaku and Puma Punku.
188
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:11,709
But I still wonder just how old
these ruins really are.
189
00:14:11,709 --> 00:14:15,999
Before I began my investigation,
I made a trip to Switzerland to
190
00:14:15,999 --> 00:14:19,999
talk with my good friend and
mentor Erich von Daniken, who
191
00:14:19,999 --> 00:14:22,999
gave me some great insights into
the history behind these
192
00:14:22,999 --> 00:14:29,334
incredible and mysterious sites.
So, Erich, tell me about Puma
193
00:14:29,334 --> 00:14:33,999
Punku, because what I find
interesting is according to some
194
00:14:33,999 --> 00:14:37,999
translations, somebody suggested
there is a calendar there.
195
00:14:37,999 --> 00:14:42,999
And this calendar goes back some
20,000 or so years.
196
00:14:42,999 --> 00:14:46,999
Now, this calendar,
Giorgio, you are referring to,
197
00:14:46,999 --> 00:14:50,709
is clearly proven.
There are scientific books
198
00:14:50,709 --> 00:14:54,999
written by Dr. Edmund Kiss,
that's 50, 60 years ago, uh,
199
00:14:54,999 --> 00:14:58,709
by Dr.... Professor Bellamy.
I knew him personally.
200
00:14:58,709 --> 00:15:02,999
Brilliant explorers, and they
absolutely deciphered this
201
00:15:02,999 --> 00:15:08,999
calendar of Tiwanaku, and it
dates back at least 24,000 years
202
00:15:08,999 --> 00:15:12,999
in the past.
But our modern archaeology does
203
00:15:12,999 --> 00:15:18,000
not accept these dates because
it contradicts our evolution.
204
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,999
In 1928, German
explorer Edmund Kiss drew
205
00:15:21,999 --> 00:15:26,999
elaborately detailed
re creations of what he believed
206
00:15:26,999 --> 00:15:29,999
once stood at both Tiwanaku and
Puma Punku.
207
00:15:29,999 --> 00:15:33,999
He became one of the first to
suggest that the ancient
208
00:15:33,999 --> 00:15:37,999
structures were far older than
the traditionally accepted date
209
00:15:37,999 --> 00:15:43,999
of 200 AD.
Another German researcher,
210
00:15:43,999 --> 00:15:46,999
Professor Hans Schindler
Bellamy, dated Puma Punku to
211
00:15:46,999 --> 00:15:51,999
before 10,000 BC and theorized
that it was destroyed by a
212
00:15:51,999 --> 00:15:55,000
flood.
The Spanish
213
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,999
conquerors, when they arrived,
they were up there with their
214
00:15:57,999 --> 00:16:03,999
soldiers and they took the Inca,
the ruler of them, and they
215
00:16:03,999 --> 00:16:08,709
showed them these ruins of Puma
Punku and they asked them,
216
00:16:08,709 --> 00:16:12,999
"How did you make this?
Because we, from Spain, we were
217
00:16:12,999 --> 00:16:15,999
not able to move such gigantic
blocks."
218
00:16:15,999 --> 00:16:20,000
And then the Inca ruler said,
"It was not us who made it.
219
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:27,999
It was the gods who made it in
one simple night."
220
00:16:27,999 --> 00:16:30,999
Mainstream
archaeologists who dismiss the
221
00:16:30,999 --> 00:16:34,999
local stories of gods
constructing Puma Punku have
222
00:16:34,999 --> 00:16:38,999
long argued that ancient people
could have moved these
223
00:16:38,999 --> 00:16:44,334
megalithic stones through sheer
manpower alone.
224
00:16:44,334 --> 00:16:49,999
During an experiment conducted
in 1966, members of the Bolivian
225
00:16:49,999 --> 00:16:53,999
army attempted to drag a two ton
megalithic block and raise it
226
00:16:53,999 --> 00:16:58,501
using only rope.
They barely managed to shift it
227
00:16:58,501 --> 00:17:03,999
by a few inches.
But assuming that the ancient
228
00:17:03,999 --> 00:17:07,999
people here really were able to
somehow raise these giant blocks
229
00:17:07,999 --> 00:17:11,999
using nothing more than rope and
manpower, how did they get them
230
00:17:11,999 --> 00:17:16,999
here in the first place?
Mainstream archaeologists say
231
00:17:16,999 --> 00:17:20,999
the massive stones were hewn at
quarries over 60 miles away and
232
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:25,501
then they were rolled to Puma
Punku on logs.
233
00:17:25,501 --> 00:17:29,999
But there is one major problem
with this theory.
234
00:17:29,999 --> 00:17:33,999
We're at an altitude of over
12,000 feet, which means there
235
00:17:33,999 --> 00:17:40,334
are no trees, because trees only
grow to a certain altitude.
236
00:17:40,334 --> 00:17:44,334
And if somebody proposes that
this whole place was deforested
237
00:17:44,334 --> 00:17:46,999
and they just cut down the trees
in order to move around these
238
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:49,999
blocks, then they don't know
what they're talking about.
239
00:17:49,999 --> 00:17:53,999
So the idea of wooden rollers
falls by the wayside.
240
00:18:08,501 --> 00:18:11,334
Like that.
241
00:18:15,499 --> 00:18:18,376
While I'm in
Bolivia, I want to find out what
242
00:18:18,376 --> 00:18:22,209
the local people know and
believe about both Puma Punku
243
00:18:22,209 --> 00:18:25,499
and Tiwanaku.
Right next to the ruins is the
244
00:18:25,499 --> 00:18:30,500
town of Tiwanaku, home to the
native Aymara people.
245
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:34,499
The Aymara have inhabited
Bolivia as well as Peru and
246
00:18:34,499 --> 00:18:39,499
Chile for at least 800 years,
descending from other cultures
247
00:18:39,499 --> 00:18:44,499
in the area that go back as far
as 5,000 years.
248
00:18:44,499 --> 00:18:47,499
They continue to speak the
native language of their
249
00:18:47,499 --> 00:18:51,500
ancestors, and have kept alive
the oral traditions of their
250
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:56,376
people for centuries.
With the help of my translator
251
00:18:56,376 --> 00:19:00,499
and guide, Juan Carlos, I've
arranged to meet Rene Quispe, an
252
00:19:00,499 --> 00:19:03,500
Aymara elder and local
historian.
253
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:09,499
So what can he tell me about the
legends how, for example,
254
00:19:09,499 --> 00:19:15,499
Tiwanaku was built?
255
00:19:29,499 --> 00:19:33,499
The sun god
Viracocha is the Andean creator
256
00:19:33,499 --> 00:19:39,209
and destroyer of worlds.
According to ancient legends,
257
00:19:39,209 --> 00:19:42,499
Viracocha was born on the Isle
of the Sun on nearby Lake
258
00:19:42,499 --> 00:19:46,499
Titicaca.
Eventually, Viracocha
259
00:19:46,499 --> 00:19:50,376
disappeared "over the water as
if it were land, without
260
00:19:50,376 --> 00:20:03,499
sinking," never to return.
Like that.
261
00:20:03,499 --> 00:20:09,499
Yes.
I'm shocked to hear
262
00:20:09,499 --> 00:20:12,834
this Aymara elder mention the
term "Watchers," because the
263
00:20:12,834 --> 00:20:17,499
Watchers are a key component of
the ancient astronaut theory, so
264
00:20:17,499 --> 00:20:20,834
to hear this term associated
with the ancient stories of
265
00:20:20,834 --> 00:20:26,499
Bolivia is pretty awesome.
According to the Book of Enoch,
266
00:20:26,499 --> 00:20:30,834
an ancient Hebrew text found
among the Dead Sea Scrolls, the
267
00:20:30,834 --> 00:20:35,499
Watchers were a group of 200
angels sent to Earth to watch
268
00:20:35,499 --> 00:20:38,667
over the early humans.
But when they mated with human
269
00:20:38,667 --> 00:20:43,499
women and created a race of
giant hybrids, known as the
270
00:20:43,499 --> 00:20:47,499
Nephilim, they angered God and
were banished from returning to
271
00:20:47,499 --> 00:20:51,834
Heaven.
Now, what's really interesting
272
00:20:51,834 --> 00:20:55,834
is that the Inca also tell of
Viracocha creating a race of
273
00:20:55,834 --> 00:21:00,499
giants.
So, hearing an Aymara elder and
274
00:21:00,499 --> 00:21:06,499
historian say that Viracocha was
also considered a Watcher is
275
00:21:06,499 --> 00:21:10,499
incredibly fascinating.
Was there a particular reason
276
00:21:10,499 --> 00:21:18,376
why it was built?
277
00:21:19,499 --> 00:21:37,499
Yeah. Also...
Giants jumped out of
278
00:21:37,499 --> 00:21:40,499
the lake.
Giants.
279
00:21:46,499 --> 00:21:49,499
Oh, they were
shaving off the stones.
280
00:21:49,499 --> 00:21:52,499
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No?
281
00:21:52,499 --> 00:21:54,667
Like that. No?
The question I would
282
00:21:54,667 --> 00:21:57,499
like to ask is, if we look at
the Gate of the Sun with
283
00:21:57,499 --> 00:22:01,667
Viracocha in the center and all
those winged beings, what is the
284
00:22:01,667 --> 00:22:06,499
significance of it?
285
00:22:17,376 --> 00:22:19,499
No? Pacahacas.
They were... they
286
00:22:26,499 --> 00:22:28,499
were Viracocha's court.
Yeah.
287
00:22:36,499 --> 00:22:40,499
According to the
Anales de Cuauhtitlan, a
288
00:22:40,499 --> 00:22:45,499
document from 1570, Viracocha
said, "If my subjects were ever
289
00:22:45,499 --> 00:22:50,499
to see me, they would run away."
Now, when I hear that, I'm
290
00:22:50,499 --> 00:22:55,499
tempted to ask, "Did Viracocha
need a mask because he didn't
291
00:22:55,499 --> 00:22:58,499
look anything like his
subjects?"
292
00:22:58,499 --> 00:23:02,499
Could he have been a real,
flesh and blood
293
00:23:02,499 --> 00:23:07,499
extraterrestrial?
How does he react when people
294
00:23:07,499 --> 00:23:12,209
say, for example, that this
place here could have been built
295
00:23:12,209 --> 00:23:14,499
more than 10,000 years ago?
296
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000
I agree that this
place existed before the flood.
297
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,358
It's really interesting to hear this
Aymara elder mention Posnansky when
298
00:23:38,499 --> 00:23:41,499
talking about the date of
Tiwanaku.
299
00:23:41,499 --> 00:23:47,499
Arthur Posnansky spent over 40
years in Bolivia researching and
300
00:23:47,499 --> 00:23:51,499
writing about pre Inca
archaeological sites.
301
00:23:51,499 --> 00:23:57,499
Posnansky proposed that Tiwanaku
was around 17,000 years old, and
302
00:23:57,499 --> 00:24:01,499
he developed his theory after
examining the connections
303
00:24:01,499 --> 00:24:05,499
between the ancient temple
complex and sophisticated
304
00:24:05,499 --> 00:24:09,834
astronomical alignments.
According to his theory, the
305
00:24:09,834 --> 00:24:14,499
structure at Tiwanaku called
"Kalasasaya" was built so that
306
00:24:14,499 --> 00:24:18,499
the sun would rise directly over
the cornerstones on the summer
307
00:24:18,499 --> 00:24:22,499
and winter solstices, and based
on the changing tilt of the
308
00:24:22,499 --> 00:24:27,583
Earth, you'd have to go back at least
17,000 years for that to happen.
309
00:24:29,609 --> 00:24:32,833
Today, many people say that
310
00:24:32,834 --> 00:24:35,499
Posnansky's theories are
miscalculations...
311
00:24:35,499 --> 00:24:37,499
Yeah.
...and that it was
312
00:24:37,499 --> 00:24:39,499
just fantasy.
313
00:24:39,499 --> 00:24:42,499
Yeah.
Hmm?
314
00:24:56,999 --> 00:24:57,883
Right.
315
00:24:56,999 --> 00:24:57,883
Right.
316
00:25:09,334 --> 00:25:12,999
to meet Aymara elder Rene Quispe
and to ask him about the
317
00:25:12,999 --> 00:25:19,999
Aymara traditions.
The three things that stuck out
318
00:25:19,999 --> 00:25:23,999
were, one the giants.
That's amazing stuff that
319
00:25:23,999 --> 00:25:28,709
they came out of Lake Titicaca
and that they used stones with
320
00:25:28,709 --> 00:25:31,167
which to whittle down the giant
blocks.
321
00:25:31,167 --> 00:25:34,999
And then the second one was the
stories about the Watchers.
322
00:25:34,999 --> 00:25:37,999
And that is interesting to me
because the stories of the
323
00:25:37,999 --> 00:25:41,999
Watchers exist worldwide.
And then the third one was that
324
00:25:41,999 --> 00:25:47,334
he completely agrees with the
theories of Arthur Posnansky.
325
00:25:49,334 --> 00:25:53,876
After coming here and seeing
this place firsthand once again,
326
00:25:53,876 --> 00:25:57,709
I'm more and more convinced that
Posnansky was correct and that
327
00:25:57,709 --> 00:26:01,999
the local stories about Tiwanaku
being built by some kind of
328
00:26:01,999 --> 00:26:07,334
extraterrestrial beings might be
more than just mythology.
329
00:26:07,334 --> 00:26:15,167
Much, much more.
I really do think that something
330
00:26:15,167 --> 00:26:17,999
really weird happened at
Puma Punku.
331
00:26:17,999 --> 00:26:22,000
When you see
the articulation of the stones,
332
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,709
they're doing things that are
way beyond.
333
00:26:24,709 --> 00:26:27,501
There was nothing they
couldn't do.
334
00:26:31,967 --> 00:26:35,799
I'm in Peru, meeting
with author and ancient
335
00:26:35,799 --> 00:26:39,799
astronaut theorist David
Childress, a prolific author
336
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:42,799
on the topic of ancient
technology.
337
00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:46,799
He has spent most of his life
traveling the world and
338
00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:49,967
challenging established
assumptions about mankind's
339
00:26:49,967 --> 00:26:55,301
history.
He's just the person I need to
340
00:26:55,301 --> 00:26:58,301
help me sift through the
evidence and connect all the
341
00:26:58,301 --> 00:27:01,799
dots.
I really do think that, uh, Puma
342
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:07,799
Punku is one of the few places
in the world where common sense
343
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:12,301
no longer applies.
Something really weird happened
344
00:27:12,301 --> 00:27:15,799
at some point at Puma Punku.
I mean, when was the last time
345
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:19,799
you were there?
I was there, uh, just,
346
00:27:19,799 --> 00:27:25,799
uh, about six months ago or so.
David has studied
347
00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:29,799
Puma Punku for decades, and he
believes that it is the key to
348
00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:32,799
showing the connection between
ancient civilizations and
349
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:38,799
ancient space travelers.
One of the things that I enjoy
350
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:43,799
talking about is that when we
look at these stones that
351
00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:48,800
obviously have been cut in a
very precise fashion that, in
352
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,799
your opinion, it had to have
been done in an easy fashion
353
00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:55,799
with easy means.
What do you mean by that?
354
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:59,967
One of the things is
when you see the articulation of
355
00:27:59,967 --> 00:28:04,799
the stones at Puma Punku and
the H blocks are such a good
356
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:09,799
example the stonemasons were
getting very fancy and they're
357
00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:13,799
doing things that are way beyond
what they need to do.
358
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:18,301
But it would seem as if, with
the power tools that that I
359
00:28:18,301 --> 00:28:21,799
think they must have had, there
was nothing they couldn't do.
360
00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:24,799
They could be as fancy as they
wanted, because it was easy for
361
00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:27,799
them.
Exactly like this.
362
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:31,967
It's unnecessary elaboration and
decoration.
363
00:28:31,967 --> 00:28:36,799
You're thinking, oh, this must
be so much labor and moving the
364
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:42,799
stones and cutting the stones.
Yet it had to be easy for them.
365
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:45,799
And moving the stones, too, must
have been easy for them.
366
00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:49,800
It's not something that's so
incredibly difficult as as we
367
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,799
would imagine that primitive
architects and engineers would
368
00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:55,799
be doing.
It has been
369
00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:59,967
suggested that some sort of
antigravity technology may have
370
00:28:59,967 --> 00:29:04,799
been used at Puma Punku to lift
and place the massive stone
371
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:08,799
blocks.
But if that were true, it would
372
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:12,799
certainly suggest that some sort
of highly advanced technology
373
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:16,799
was in play here.
You have, also, the
374
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:22,799
areas with keystone cuts.
And the the poured clamps of
375
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:27,799
molten metal that went into
those cuts.
376
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:30,301
Yeah, just like these.
Yeah, right.
377
00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:35,676
And that's such an unusual way
of fitting stones.
378
00:29:35,676 --> 00:29:40,301
And that is something that you
see at the sun temple,
379
00:29:40,301 --> 00:29:44,799
Coricancha in Cusco you'll
find, also, these keystone
380
00:29:44,799 --> 00:29:47,799
cuts and at Ollantaytambo
on the way to Machu Picchu.
381
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:49,799
Right here.
That's Ollantaytambo right
382
00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:51,799
there.
Right, right.
383
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:55,799
That's an indication that the
same builders of Puma Punku and
384
00:29:55,799 --> 00:30:00,799
Tiwanaku are also the builders
of the sun temple in Cusco and
385
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,799
at Ollantaytambo and
Saksaywaman, even Machu Picchu.
386
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:07,799
But then you can go around the
world and find this unusual
387
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:10,799
keystone cuts in Egypt, in
Greece.
388
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:12,799
This is at the Giza
Temple.
389
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:15,799
Okay.
There at at Giza and the Sphinx
390
00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:19,799
temple.
You're also gonna find these at
391
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:25,799
Borobudur in Java, at Angkor Wat
in Cambodia and at the
392
00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:30,799
megalithic site of My Son
in Vietnam.
393
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,799
These mysterious
keystone cuts exist at a
394
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:38,799
surprising number of ancient
sites all over the world.
395
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:42,799
It's a building technique that
involves pouring metal into cut
396
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:46,800
rock on both sides of a joint.
And it has been suggested that
397
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,799
the clamps that went inside them
were made of copper, bronze,
398
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:56,799
silver, or a mixture of silver
and gold.
399
00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:01,301
Curiously, in nearly every case
where keystone cuts have been
400
00:31:01,301 --> 00:31:04,301
found, the clamps have been
removed.
401
00:31:04,301 --> 00:31:09,509
Or, possibly, the structures are
so old that the metal has eroded
402
00:31:09,509 --> 00:31:12,800
completely.
But some still contain remnants
403
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:18,799
of metal, which leaves no doubt
that the architects had at least
404
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:21,799
rudimentary knowledge of
metallurgy.
405
00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:26,799
You know, stuff like that is
sensational, because it would
406
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:31,301
imply one of two things.
Either, as you say, they were
407
00:31:31,301 --> 00:31:35,799
the same builders.
Or that they were the same
408
00:31:35,799 --> 00:31:39,301
teachers.
Because, clearly, it is not a
409
00:31:39,301 --> 00:31:42,799
similar construction style; it's
identical.
410
00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:44,799
It's it's not
something that could really have
411
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:48,799
been developed independently,
and and so the mainstream
412
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:52,799
archaeologists are basically
just ignoring this.
413
00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:58,799
Because if they were to discuss
this, it would completely wreck
414
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:02,799
their whole theories that these
people are... are isolated from
415
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:05,967
each other.
I mean, they had to be made by
416
00:32:05,967 --> 00:32:11,799
the same kind of engineers
and and architects.
417
00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:15,799
Here we have blocks
that some have estimated to be
418
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:20,799
100 metric tons.
How would you move a 100 ton
419
00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:25,832
block without a crane?
I don't know.
420
00:32:29,058 --> 00:32:30,998
I'm in Peru with
421
00:32:30,999 --> 00:32:34,999
fellow ancient astronaut
theorist David Childress.
422
00:32:34,999 --> 00:32:37,999
We've been discussing the
precision cut stone blocks found
423
00:32:37,999 --> 00:32:41,999
all over Puma Punku.
Many of the blocks contain
424
00:32:41,999 --> 00:32:46,999
keystone cuts, which are also
found at other megalithic sites.
425
00:32:46,999 --> 00:32:50,999
But these aren't the only
striking similarities that exist
426
00:32:50,999 --> 00:32:55,000
between Puma Punku and other
ancient sites found throughout
427
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,999
the world.
There are so many
428
00:32:57,999 --> 00:33:00,999
similarities, including the
monolithic doors that you have
429
00:33:00,999 --> 00:33:05,876
at Puma Punku and Tiwanaku where
these doors are just cut out of
430
00:33:05,876 --> 00:33:10,501
one solid piece of granite.
And you find that, too, uh, at
431
00:33:10,501 --> 00:33:13,999
Persepolis in in Iran, for
instance.
432
00:33:13,999 --> 00:33:18,999
And then, on top of all that,
you've got the Fuente Magna bowl
433
00:33:18,999 --> 00:33:23,999
that's now in the Precious
Metals Museum in La Paz.
434
00:33:23,999 --> 00:33:28,999
Thought to be over
5,000 years old, the Fuente
435
00:33:28,999 --> 00:33:31,999
Magna bowl was discovered near
Lake Titicaca by a local farmer
436
00:33:31,999 --> 00:33:35,999
in the 1950s.
It features hundreds of
437
00:33:35,999 --> 00:33:39,999
triangular carvings that are
strangely similar to the
438
00:33:39,999 --> 00:33:44,167
cuneiform text used by the
ancient Sumerians.
439
00:33:44,167 --> 00:33:47,999
But what is a bowl featuring
Sumerian text doing more than
440
00:33:47,999 --> 00:33:53,167
8,000 miles from Sumeria or, as
we know it today, Iraq?
441
00:33:53,167 --> 00:33:56,999
Could it be further evidence
that what ancient astronaut
442
00:33:56,999 --> 00:34:01,999
theorists have been saying for
decades might be true?
443
00:34:01,999 --> 00:34:05,999
Could early humans, at one time,
really have been influenced by
444
00:34:05,999 --> 00:34:10,999
visitors from another planet?
That bowl has two
445
00:34:10,999 --> 00:34:15,999
forms of Sumerian writing on it,
Sumerian hieroglyphs and
446
00:34:15,999 --> 00:34:18,999
Sumerian cuneiform.
It's been authenticated by
447
00:34:18,999 --> 00:34:22,999
Bolivian archaeologists, and all
that mainstream archaeologists
448
00:34:22,999 --> 00:34:24,999
can do at this point is ignore
it.
449
00:34:24,999 --> 00:34:27,999
It's not something they could
ever address because it would
450
00:34:27,999 --> 00:34:32,999
completely blow all of their
theories out of the water.
451
00:34:32,999 --> 00:34:35,999
What makes a
Bolivian archaeologist less
452
00:34:35,999 --> 00:34:39,999
mainstream than all the other
mainstream archaeologists?
453
00:34:39,999 --> 00:34:43,999
In my opinion, nothing.
So why aren't they confirmed by
454
00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:47,999
the rest of archaeology?
It would change
455
00:34:47,999 --> 00:34:50,999
history.
The Fuente Magna bowl is
456
00:34:50,999 --> 00:34:56,999
basically proof that the
Sumerian Anunnaki were coming to
457
00:34:56,999 --> 00:35:00,876
South America.
I believe that Tiwanaku and
458
00:35:00,876 --> 00:35:03,999
Puma Punku, uh, were were mining
centers.
459
00:35:03,999 --> 00:35:07,709
The idea of Sumerian
writings being discovered near
460
00:35:07,709 --> 00:35:10,999
Lake Titicaca would relate to
the theories of author Zecharia
461
00:35:10,999 --> 00:35:15,999
Sitchin and his proposal that
the Sumerians were interacting
462
00:35:15,999 --> 00:35:19,000
with a highly advanced
extraterrestrial race known as
463
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:24,999
the Anunnaki.
History has to be rewritten.
464
00:35:24,999 --> 00:35:27,999
Eventually, they'll
have to address these things.
465
00:35:27,999 --> 00:35:31,000
I look forward to, uh, whatever
results you come up with.
466
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,501
I'll definitely keep
you posted on my my findings.
467
00:35:35,501 --> 00:35:38,501
After speaking with David
Childress, I'm more convinced
468
00:35:38,501 --> 00:35:42,167
than ever that Puma Punku was
constructed with the assistance
469
00:35:42,167 --> 00:35:46,999
of extraterrestrials, but my
questions of what these blocks
470
00:35:46,999 --> 00:35:51,501
actually formed and how the
structure was destroyed still
471
00:35:51,501 --> 00:35:57,709
remain unanswered.
To get a better picture of just
472
00:35:57,709 --> 00:36:01,999
what this incredible site might
have looked like when it was
473
00:36:01,999 --> 00:36:05,999
first built, I returned home to
meet with Casey Hemmatyar, a
474
00:36:05,999 --> 00:36:10,167
forensic structural engineer
based in Los Angeles.
475
00:36:10,167 --> 00:36:13,999
With more than 30 years of
experience investigating all
476
00:36:13,999 --> 00:36:17,999
types of structures and building
materials, I knew that Casey
477
00:36:17,999 --> 00:36:22,999
would be the perfect person to
analyze what Puma Punku was
478
00:36:22,999 --> 00:36:26,501
built to be and what violent
forces might have led to its
479
00:36:26,501 --> 00:36:29,999
destruction.
Mr. Hemmatyar?
480
00:36:29,999 --> 00:36:33,501
Hello. I'm Giorgio.
Great pleasure to meet you.
481
00:36:35,101 --> 00:36:39,599
So, in your opinion, how do you
think something like this was
482
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:43,101
cut?
The first thing is
483
00:36:43,101 --> 00:36:47,599
that how these people, uh,
several thousand years ago had
484
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:54,599
this ability and this precision
and the knowledge to create such
485
00:36:54,599 --> 00:36:59,476
a structure.
Is it impossible to use a copper
486
00:36:59,476 --> 00:37:07,599
tool in order to create these?
Um, probably, yes.
487
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:12,599
Because you need a material that
has a much higher hardness in
488
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:18,767
order to achieve these goals.
In modern days, we do these type
489
00:37:18,767 --> 00:37:21,767
of, uh, structures.
We call them tilt up.
490
00:37:21,767 --> 00:37:24,600
Let's say this wall is
three story, okay?
491
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,767
So what we do, we come right
next to that particular site, we
492
00:37:28,767 --> 00:37:34,599
place wood forms all around it.
Once we place the reinforcing,
493
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:39,599
then we pour concrete into this
and we flatten the surface and
494
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:43,599
we let it stay there to cure for
several days.
495
00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:46,600
Then we have special cranes that
come, and then we lift them.
496
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,599
They bring down.
Now, we're doing this at the
497
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:51,600
same time on four sides.
So what you're
498
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,599
telling me is the way it works
is that the whole thing is
499
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:59,101
raised by a crane, like this.
Yes.
500
00:37:59,101 --> 00:38:02,101
So in reference to
Puma Punku with all of this, I
501
00:38:02,101 --> 00:38:05,101
mean, here we have blocks that
some have estimated to be around
502
00:38:05,101 --> 00:38:11,101
100 metric tons, and we're also
at an altitude of almost 13,000
503
00:38:11,101 --> 00:38:15,599
feet, so the air is rarified.
You know, it's, uh, kind of a
504
00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:18,599
dicey place up there if you're
not in physical shape.
505
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:25,600
So how would you move a 100 ton
block without a crane?
506
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:31,309
Uh... I don't know.
507
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:34,599
Even to an expert
like Casey Hemmatyar, the
508
00:38:34,599 --> 00:38:39,599
methods used to carve the stones
at Puma Punku and then lift them
509
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:44,599
into place remain a mystery.
But now I'm even more eager to
510
00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:50,599
find out not only how Puma Punku
was built but why.
511
00:38:52,999 --> 00:38:55,999
I'm in Southern
California in the offices of
512
00:38:55,999 --> 00:38:59,999
Forensic Structural Engineer
Casey Hemmatyar.
513
00:38:59,999 --> 00:39:04,999
Using CGI technology, Casey has
spent the last three weeks
514
00:39:04,999 --> 00:39:08,999
constructing a three dimensional
model of Puma Punku.
515
00:39:08,999 --> 00:39:12,999
And now he's about to show me
not only what he believes it
516
00:39:12,999 --> 00:39:19,334
might have looked like but how
it was ultimately destroyed.
517
00:39:19,334 --> 00:39:22,999
Here we've got some
visualization of what potential
518
00:39:22,999 --> 00:39:28,167
combination of putting these
together to create the platform.
519
00:39:28,167 --> 00:39:31,999
Man, I'm blown away
by what Casey is showing me, a
520
00:39:31,999 --> 00:39:35,999
three dimensional model of what
Puma Punku might have looked
521
00:39:35,999 --> 00:39:40,999
like more than 10,000 years ago.
It's unlike any other model I've
522
00:39:40,999 --> 00:39:43,999
ever seen.
It even has a large platform
523
00:39:43,999 --> 00:39:47,999
area that I can imagine being
used as some kind of a launching
524
00:39:47,999 --> 00:39:53,999
pad.
Was Puma Punku some type of
525
00:39:53,999 --> 00:39:56,999
spaceport for ancient
astronauts?
526
00:39:56,999 --> 00:40:00,334
Or the headquarters for a team
of alien engineers and
527
00:40:00,334 --> 00:40:03,999
scientists sent to explore the
Earth?
528
00:40:03,999 --> 00:40:08,999
This is cool looking.
Really awesome.
529
00:40:08,999 --> 00:40:11,999
But now I'm more puzzled than
ever.
530
00:40:11,999 --> 00:40:15,334
How could such a large and
magnificent structure have been
531
00:40:15,334 --> 00:40:19,999
so completely destroyed?
As a forensic structural
532
00:40:19,999 --> 00:40:26,501
engineer, do you think that an
explosion might have been a
533
00:40:26,501 --> 00:40:29,999
reason for the destruction of
Puma Punku?
534
00:40:29,999 --> 00:40:34,999
The size of these, uh,
stones, the weight of them, the
535
00:40:34,999 --> 00:40:38,999
mass and the way I look at the
pictures of the remains of
536
00:40:38,999 --> 00:40:43,999
these, it's my opinion that
it it would be very remote that
537
00:40:43,999 --> 00:40:47,999
that would've been the cause.
Okay, so then what
538
00:40:47,999 --> 00:40:54,999
does that leave us with?
The concept of flood
539
00:40:54,999 --> 00:40:58,999
would make more sense to me.
Casey's computer
540
00:40:58,999 --> 00:41:02,999
animation of Puma Punku is
consistent with various theories
541
00:41:02,999 --> 00:41:07,334
which suggest that the enormous
stone blocks were somehow lifted
542
00:41:07,334 --> 00:41:11,501
up and then dropped down.
It's also consistent with what
543
00:41:11,501 --> 00:41:15,999
I've been hearing from everyone
I've spoken with so far that
544
00:41:15,999 --> 00:41:21,999
Puma Punku was built sometime
before the Great Flood.
545
00:41:21,999 --> 00:41:24,999
The soil becomes
almost liquid.
546
00:41:24,999 --> 00:41:28,999
Getting saturated by water, it
loses its stability, and
547
00:41:28,999 --> 00:41:32,999
therefore it's not capable of
providing support to the
548
00:41:32,999 --> 00:41:36,999
structure above anymore.
And with the movement of water
549
00:41:36,999 --> 00:41:40,999
itself, that can cause movement
of those objects.
550
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:45,167
The idea that Puma
Punku was destroyed by a flood
551
00:41:45,167 --> 00:41:49,334
makes perfect sense because
seashells and fossils of fish
552
00:41:49,334 --> 00:41:52,999
have been found here, even
though the nearest body of
553
00:41:52,999 --> 00:41:55,999
water is more than ten miles
away.
554
00:41:55,999 --> 00:42:00,999
The cataclysm or the flood is
strong enough to jumble up the
555
00:42:00,999 --> 00:42:05,999
original place of these blocks
right away.
556
00:42:05,999 --> 00:42:11,167
Every legend, every mythology
has a core of truth, and that is
557
00:42:11,167 --> 00:42:13,999
my quest.
Casey, thank you very much for
558
00:42:13,999 --> 00:42:18,999
your time.
My pleasure.
559
00:42:18,999 --> 00:42:21,999
There is now very
little doubt in my mind that
560
00:42:21,999 --> 00:42:25,999
Puma Punku was built with some
sort of extraterrestrial
561
00:42:25,999 --> 00:42:29,999
technology and that its
destruction was probably caused
562
00:42:29,999 --> 00:42:34,999
by a great flood, perhaps the
same flood that is described in
563
00:42:34,999 --> 00:42:39,999
the Old Testament.
This has been an amazing
564
00:42:39,999 --> 00:42:41,999
journey.
And while I'm even more
565
00:42:41,999 --> 00:42:46,999
convinced that mankind had alien
ancestors, I need to find more
566
00:42:46,999 --> 00:42:51,999
evidence.
And so this is why I'm off once
567
00:42:51,999 --> 00:42:54,999
again in search of aliens.
