@gyro5d I await the observations of Chris Dunn, and engineer, in August,

Puma Punku looks like a concrete factory I worked for. All the pieces ready for shipment or the broken pieces just left sitting around the plant. What else would you do with the bad pieces? Wouldn't they be building as they got the pieces done? Any pictures from above Puma Punku?

On a map it showed a river near Puma Punku in the valley feeding Lake Titicaca. If that river had much more water in it. It could power a rock mill/ smelter. You just proved there was metal in that river from the mountains. If, water was used as a lubricant under pressure, couldn't a diorite wheel could cut diorite?

@XxMoBsTaRxX Christopher Dunn, the engineer, will have insights into this when he and I visit the site in August.
the theory of diorite reduce into a kind of ciment is interesting;but you still need a very powerfull machinery to crush,mix and poor the material into the right form.im into concrete;i do formwork and i know the way ciment react.are they any small holes or imperfections that are visible on the surface of these big blocks?

@cubacuho Excellent point; and compacting them would take HUGE force.

I am currently taking an anthropology class and a Western Civilization course. I found this youtube video in the attempt to understand more about the above mentioned. I am now more curious than ever to understanding our ancestors. Thanks for the video, and I have never, ever heard of Puma Punku but Macchu Picchu (spell check). Thanks

No matter how these stones were carved or (Ground), the question still remains;- How did they transport these massive objects? Where was the quarry? How far did these poeple have to move them to the site and put them in place?
