Great post Lord Percy! Have you visited this site yourself? The entire Lake Titicaca area is surrounded with amazing ruins, it has been the center of many different civilizations stretching back long before the Inca (which is what most people associate it with today). I personally feel like modern man has a really hard time giving ancient man the credit due - it is really hard for us to conceptualize that people were exactly as smart back then as we are now, although the tech has changed. IMO the simplest explanation is usually the correct one, and in this case I believe ancient man was just a lot better at engineering and stonemasonry than we can conceive of today! But that is like, my opinion, man. :) Cheers and looking forward to more thought provoking posts! - Carl (AKA gnashster)

Occam's razor would ordinarily be my go to point but in this case it just doesn't add up.
The stones are too hard and brittle to have been worked in the way suggested, the people who academics say built the site didn't have any metallurgy anywhere else, the site is at 12,000ft way above the tree line therefore no logs were available to move the stone which came from up to 60k away and they didn't have the wheel!
Sorry buddy, Something else going on here.
Cheers for reading.
