Pumapunku, also called “Puma Pumku” or “Puma Puncu”, is part of a large temple complex or monument group that is part of the Tiwanaku Site near Tiwanaku, Bolivia. In Aymara, its name means, “The Door of the Cougar”. The quality of the stonework and the size of the blocks is amazing, and there is evidence that machines were used to cut, polish and drill in the blocks of stones. Some of the blocks weigh over 100 tons and they are so perfectly polished with fine absolutely straight cut lines, just millimeters in depth with drilled holes with an exact distance between them. Puma Punku is placed about 13,300 feet (4000 meters) over sea level, and no trees will grow on this height, so there was no possibility to use tree rollers to transport the megalithic stones. The stones used at Puma Punku are made of diorite and granite, the only stone that is hard enough to cut diorite is diamond. Can this all be done by the people of 10,000 BC era????

The Mapimí Silent Zone is the popular name for a desert patch in Mexico overlapping the Mapimí Biosphere Reserve that is the subject of an urban myth that claims it is an area where radio signals cannot be received. On July 11, 1970, an Athena missile launched from White Sands Missile Range lost control and fell in the region. The rocket was carrying two small containers of cobalt 57, a radioactive element. Immediately, a team of specialists arrived to find the fallen rocket. The aerial search lasted three weeks. Finally, when the rocket was found, a road was built to transport the wreckage, along with a small amount of contaminated top soil. As a result of the US Air Force recovery operations there, a number of myths and stories relating to the area arose, including "strange magnetic anomalies that prevent radio transmission", mutations of flora and fauna, and extraterrestrial visitations. Numerous reports by local residents of UFO sightings and contact with extra-t

The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks,orcas, llamas, and lizards. The lines are shallow designs made in the ground by removing the ubiquitous reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish ground beneath. Hundreds are simple lines or geometric shapes; more than seventy are zoomorphic designs of animals such as birds, fish, llamas, jaguar, monkey or human figures. Other designs include phytomorphic shapes such as trees and flowers. The largest figures are over 200 metres (660 ft) across. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general they ascribe religious significance to them.
