Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 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.
