Old City: Puma Punku| Bolivia

Puma Punku

If you want to see how powerful people of ancient times were, then this place is ideal for you, Puma Punku. It is located in the southwest of the Kalasasaya Temple in Tiawanaco Monument Complex in Bolivia. This place, decorated with huge stone blocks, was brought from stones at least eighty kilometers away. It is believed that Puma Puccu was built in the first century, but it remains to be seen how the magnificent stones of magnificent shapes have been made.

The largest stone found in Puma Punku is 7.81 meters in length, and 5.17 meters wide in width. The average thickness is about 1.07 meters. And weighing? Ehhem ... about 131 metric tons. Hear the calculation of the second largest stone? 7.90 meters long, 2.50 meters wide, average thickness of 1.86 meters, and about 85.21 metric tons. But how many such large stones were dragged so far? And how is it arranged on one? Incredible, right?
