The Mystery Of Puma Punku

Puma Punku is part of a large temple complex or monument group near Tiwanaku, Bolivia. The Puma Punku complex consists of an unwalled western court, a central unwalled esplanade, a terraced platform mound that is faced with megalithic stone, and a walled eastern court.

Determining the age of the Puma Punku complex has been a focus of researchers since the discovery of the Tiwanaku site. Some scientists say Puma Punku is 5,000 years old but others claim it could be between 10,000 en 15,000 years old. Today, researchers still don't understand how Puma Punku was built.
