half a meter (1.5 feet) wide. These are of a regularity which is seldom equaled even today. It's impossible for
these people to have produced these works in the absence of technological means, in the way that evolu-
tionists claim. That is because under the allegedly primitive conditions, it would take longer than a human
lifespan to produce just one of these structures. That in turn would mean that it took centuries to create

Tiahuanaco, which alone shows that the evolutionist thesis is false.
One of the most noteworthy monuments in Tiahuanaco is the so-called Gate of the Sun. Made out of a
single block, it is 3 meters (10 feet) high and 5 meters (16.5 feet) wide and is estimated to weigh more than 10
tons. The gate has been decorated with various carvings. No explanation can be given as to what methods

were used to construct the gate. What kind of technology was employed in the building of such an impres-
sive structure? How were blocks of stone weighing 10 tons extracted, and by what means were they trans-
ported from the stone quarries? It is clear that all these things were achieved using more than just simple
tools and equipment, of the kind alleged by evolutionists.

When you also consider the geographical conditions of the region where Tiahuanaco stands, the whole
feat assumes even more astonishing proportions. The city is many kilometers away from any normal settle-
ment areas and stands on a high plateau some 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) high, where atmospheric pressure is
around only half that at sea level. The greatly reduced oxygen level here would make tasks requiring a

human workforce even more difficult.
All this goes to show that, as in many other regions of the world, advanced civilizations existed here in
the past—which invalidates the thesis that the societies always "evolve" towards more advanced states.

The Gate of the Sun, estimated
to weigh around 10 tons, could
not have been built by a soci-
ety devoid of technological
means, as evolutionists claim.
Such structures invalidate the
evolutionist claim that human
history evolved from the primi-
tive to the developed.
