Digging Up Ancient Aliens19 Syys 2023

The non-mystery of Puma Punku and Tiwanaku

This time, we will explore the fantastic ruins of Puma Punku (or Pumapunku), a temple complex located within Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco or Tiahuanacu). This site lies in modern Bolivia, and its stunning stone masonry has given rise to speculation about alien visitation. Let's investigate the site, what we know, and what has been done in the past. We will see that the alien theories are rather lazy compared to the site's real history and archaeology.

In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between in popular media, such as Ancient Aliens, Ancient Apocalypse, and many other places.

In this episode:

The History of Tiwanaku and Puma Punku (2:16)

When was the site built, and what is the area's history?

Construction of Puma Punku (20:23)

How was the site built? We use experimental archaeology to learn how the site could have been constructed.

Fuente Magna Bowl (30:24)

A bowl claimed to have been found around Lake Titicaca is claimed to have a Sumerian script on it. Could this be true? Let's find out together.
