Puma Punku - Unbelievable Stone Masonry at 4km altitude 14,000 years ago

Simply stunning. Stone structures weighing even 400 tonnes or more at 4km altitude over 14,000 perhaps even 19,000 years old. Perfectly carved stones made of diorite which can be only cut with diamond tools at perfect precision. Impossible to do with stone age tools that's for sure, very hard even with modern technology at this altitude.
