Pumapunku, also known as Puma Punku, is a 6th-century archaeological site located near Tiwanaku, in western Bolivia. It is a terraced earthen mound faced with megalithic blocks, with some of the largest stone blocks weighing several tons. The site is part of the Tiwanaku Site and consists of an alignment of plazas and ramps centered on a man-made terraced platform mound with a sunken court and monumental complex. The stones at Pumapunku were cut with such precision that some believe it couldn't have been built without advanced technology or help from alien beings. However, modern archaeologists do not support these claims and continue to study the site to understand its construction and purpose. The site's precise stonework and the mystery surrounding its construction have led to various theories, but the most widely accepted explanation is that it was built by the Tiwanaku civilization, which dominated the region during its peak centuries.
