Where did 'I' say aliens built it?
Stop. Just stop. Everyone knows that you think it was built by a race of subterranian/submarine aliens who have lived beside us throughout history. Stop pretending otherwise.
The architecture 'looks' Easter Island-ish. Take a 'closer' look at the faces featured.
Oh, yeah, because you are TOTALLY qualified to say that "it looks more like the Easter Islanders than Incans to me", since you have spent so long obtaining your degree in archaeology and ancient architectural design.
Right.
There is NO EVIDENCE whatsoever to date the site.
Pfft. Of course there is. It's BEEN dated. By professional archaeologists with nothing better to do. And, seeing as they generally know what they're talking about and you don't, I'll go with them.
If you think such a site COULD have "easily been done", then grab/construct a bronze age tool and start working. If you can replicate the work, I'll concede the point. Nothing 'strange'...? Talk about willful ignorance...
Thank you for illustrating my point so succinctly. Countless posts have been dedicated to showing you that every bit of Puma Punku could have been constructed through known techniques of ancient stone-carving peoples, yet you continue to deny that it was possible.
Yes, I
do call that willful ignorance.
You MUST be super-natural yourself, if you can successfully conclude, beyond ALL reasonable doubt 'anything', "without any evidence whatsoever".
Bravo!
What "evidence"...? Let's have it.
And 'proximity' to the site isn't evidence. Just because I live near a church is NOT evidence that I built it...
WHAT is that "evidence"...?
Actually, King of the Americas, in this case, proximity
is evidence. The Incans lived in the area, so they could have built that site without a five-hundred mile trek. They were building other temples at the time, so there's nothing strange about them building this one. The architectural design in Puma Punku is Incan, so they haven't made any weird designs. The stone is fashioned in ways that other ancient stone structures - several by the Incans, by the way - have exhibited and can be demonstrated to be possible using primitive stone tools.
That is the evidence for Incan construction of Puma Punku, all in one handy little text block for you. Perhaps now you'll stop lying out of your *** and saying that there isn't any.
Haven't I answered this already?
I DON'T know who built it, when they built it, or what tools were employed.
I DO know however that granite and diorite are hard enough to resist the intentions of a hardened steel chisel.
Yes, because steel is commonly a 5 on the Mohs scale, while granite is often 6 or 7.
BUT.
No one is implying that steel tools were used. In fact, we are operating under the assumption that only primitive stone tools were used. This means that the stone tools would have, like the rock being carved, been
granite rather than steel. Since granite is the same hardness as itself, granite can carve granite.
I DO know that whomever built it had some impressive tools, even by modern standards.
Ah, so now we get to the meat of it. KotA doesn't understand how it could have been done. Therefore he says that aliens did it.
Argument from personal incredulity and argument from ignorance, segueing into the appeal to magic.
There. His argument's bunk, we can all see that, so let's move on people.
Have you reviewed all of the pictures and videos available?
Yes. Have you?
(enter name/insult that would possibly get me suspended here) because I like to call it like it is. Seems like a duck, talk like a duck, walks like a duck, then it's a duck.
