The size of the
megaliths forming the
ruins of the pyramid at
the Puma Punku
amazes visitors. One
block in the step-pyra-
mid, whose base mea-
sures approximately 60
meters (197 feet) by 50
meters (164 feet), weighs some 447 tons. The other stones used weigh between
100 and 200 tons. It is illogical to maintain, as evolutionists do, that these gigantic
blocks were transported on logs using thick ropes.

Evolutionist archaeology can't explain the marks where a great many mega-
liths at the Puma Punku are joined together. These are reminiscent of metal clamps.
For a long time it was thought that these T-shaped clamps had been pre-cast at a
furnace, then placed cold into carved indentations in the blocks. Later investigations
using scanning electron microscope, however, revealed that they were poured
molten into the indentations. Spectrographic analysis showed that these clamps
consisted of an alloy of 2.05% arsenic, 95.15% copper, 0.26% iron, 0.84% silicon and
1.70% nickel. All this is evidence that past societies used advanced equipment dur-
ing the construction process. 42
