A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

For example, the city walls were built by placing blocks weigh-
ing 60 tons on top of other blocks of sandstone weighing some 100
tons. The stoneworking used to build these walls required enormous
expertise. Huge square blocks were joined together with accurate
grooves. Holes 2.5 meters (8 feet) long have been opened in blocks
weighing 10 tons. In some parts of the ruins, there are stone water
conduits 1.8 meters (6 feet) long and half a meter (1.5 feet) wide.
These are of a regularity which is seldom equaled even today. It's im-
possible for these people to have produced these works in the ab-
sence of technological means, in the way that evolutionists claim.
That is because under the allegedly primitive conditions, it would
take longer than a human lifespan to produce just one of these struc-
tures. 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 carv-
ings. 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 impressive 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 re-
gion where Tiahuanaco stands, the whole feat assumes even more
astonishing proportions. The city is many kilometers away from any
normal settlement areas and stands on a high plateau some 4,000
