danielost Posted February 28, 2013 #7801 Share Posted February 28, 2013 What exactly is the evidence that indicates Puma Punku was flooded? I must have missed that bit. Is it just soil displacement? How is normal soil displacement via erosion sufficiently ruled out? Puma Punku sits on the floor of a rather desolate valley largely devoid of any trees or large bushes to hold the soil in place. In such an area soil displacement via normal erosion methods is going to be common and frequent. What exactly is the evidence that indicates Puma Punku was flooded? I must have missed that bit.

In such an area soil displacement via normal erosion methods is going to be common and frequent (as common and frequent as rain and wind at any rate). How is it that a flood cannot be ruled out. Normal erosion does not shatter one hundred tonne blocks to pieces. Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it. And how many 100 ton blocks are there? Oh and about a flood, I did ask how high the site was, you know, above seal level?

zoser Posted February 28, 2013 #7804 Share Posted February 28, 2013 If a builder while digging foundations, throws his ciggy buts in the trench, then the foundations get filled in and built upon... and later some archeo, digging in that trench and finding the ciggy, will know it was there before the building went up. Kind of obvious zoser and READ the last sentence if you will . Show me the foundations from where the artefacts were recovered from. All I hear is a lot of claims with zero substantiation. Significant flaw in the dating: No recollection of build or destruction. Not surprising since the artefacts are deeply ancient. I wouldn't expect them to have a recollection. If the dating was accurate they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2F Posted February 28, 2013 #7807 Share Posted February 28, 2013 How is it that a flood cannot be ruled out. Normal erosion does not shatter one hundred tonne blocks to pieces. Think about it. And you have proof that the soil erosion and the shattered blocks are caused by the same event? You have yet to present it. It would be great if you could show that flooding could even break apart large stones. I have my reservations about that. You see, if a flood was violent enough to shatter stone then the stones themselves would have been scattered all across the valley. The site of Tiwanaku and Puma Punku would have spread to cover several hundred square kilometers and any buildings would have been washed away. This is an occasion where it is actually prudent to use the word 'logistics', at least from a geological standpoint.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and what we don't know. Flood, major earth shifting, whatever. It was something extremely violent. It must have been to cause that level of destruction. Total common sense. So this is another issue that casts doubt on the archaeological dating. What was buried and when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoser Posted February 28, 2013 #7814 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Another point that is clear from this picture: Anyone doing trying to do serious dating work on the foundation wall shown in this picture is doomed to criticism. There is little evidence that this foundation wall is anything to do with the precision cut andesite relics. This is the kind of thing that makes archaeology look stupid, unreliable and amateurish. That wall could well have been done by indians. The precision cut relics were clearly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of these are liable to maintain a detailed and accurate remembrance after a 1000 years? In a tribal culture folklore based, one thousand years is nothing. Someone would have remembered such a calamity. Sorry to push the issue, but that is is the elephant in the room. Until it's solved, AA proponents will insist and quite rightly so that PP is far more ancient than the Inca. The stones say so, the technology says so, and the folkore (or lack of) says so. These represent serious discrepancies with mainstream findings. So we still have evidence of alien construction; not indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoser Posted February 28, 2013 #7822 Share Posted February 28, 2013 straight over your head.... No just irrelevant. Nothing you think you have seeder is going to prove that PP was only 1500 years old. Nothing at all except wishful thinking and misguidance. That site is totally ancient; contemporary with nothing that any stone age man or indian created. I think you know it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
