PumaPunku. I say it is unexplainable in terrestrial terms.
We could have solved all the alien arguments a long time ago with this gem.
Clip is 8.5 minutes.

History Channel has done a really good and interesting job with the series Ancient Aliens.
There is soooo much in alternative archeology that mainstream archeology does not want to touch or get into, because they are absolutely baffled.
So what do they do? Avoid it.
Good stuff.

Nice job with the fence on that first one. The wonders of modern construction techniques.
Klimmer, dude, they don't ignore it, check the link above, skip to page 229.
It's a huge insult to the human spirit to deny that this was done by people, not magic spacemen. I mean, c'mon. As a kid I read all von Daniken and John Mitchell and all that I could get hold of, but the time comes to grow up, really.

Sad about those donuts someone thought would be really cool to do in ancient geoglyphs. Morons.

Yeah, that's actually the book that exposed the whole fraudulent bias of the magic spaceman hoax. Highly recommended.

I think it is interesting that a civilization one step out of the stone age, had diamond hard cutting tools to make mortar-less joints between blocks that a razor blade cannot fit into to.
This is not even on the same level as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster.

I saw some show on Discovery or History just last week and I would have to
agree that it would be extremely difficult to replicate that Puma Punku
work with modern tools - the precision is mind-boggling. I'm not on the
alien bandwagon, mind you, but I am open to the possibility. That stuff is
just too perfect. While Machu Pichu is reknowned for its tight joints it
doesn't offer the symmetricality and utter perfection of Puma Punku.

"alternative archeology"
The same fiction and imagination-driven pseudo-science on display in all the other threads. Again, I think our creativity and imagination are wonderful, and I love scifi and fantasy in all it's various guises, save one - I find it completely unacceptable to project our imaginations in such a way that fiction is paraded as fact. There are many, many things we don't know - but it takes far more discipline to acknowledge we simply don't know some things yet, and possibly never will, then to desperately fill those voids with nonsense, no matter how appealing the story-line.

Wikipedia:
"In assembling the walls of Pumapunku, each stone was finely cut to interlock with the surrounding stones and the blocks fit together like a puzzle, forming load-bearing joints without the use of mortar. One common engineering technique involves cutting the top of the lower stone at a certain angle, and placing another stone on top of it which was cut at the same angle.[3] The precision with which these angles have been utilized to create flush joints is indicative of a highly sophisticated knowledge of stone-cutting and a thorough understanding of descriptive geometry.[5] Many of the joints are so precise that not even a razor blade will fit between the stones.[9] Much of the masonry is characterized by accurately cut rectilinear blocks of such uniformity that they could be interchanged for one another while maintaining a level surface and even joints. The blocks were so precisely cut as to suggest the possibility of prefabrication and mass production, technologies far in advance of the Tiwanaku’s Incan successors hundreds of years later."
