Yes, they do. The first was done by a highly skilled megalithic culture; the second was done by a much later, less advanced culture (perhaps sea-farers who visited many countries), who found the ruins left by the first people and adopted them to their own needs. Later, archaeologists came along and, having no way to date the advanced, machined stonework at Puma Punku, assumed that everything at Tiwanaku and Puma Punku was built by the same people when, actually, they were two cultures thousands of years apart.
It's a good question. Perhaps it was like the Sphinx and some other ruins around the world. For the more complex and multicoloured features material is sometimes used that doesn't withstand thousands of years of weathering compared to the more hard wearing material typically used for simpler structures like walls. Although it's an earth quake free site, it doesn't have the same preserving conditions that you find in the desert areas of South America.
Awesome every video I see shows new parts giving me a hard time to grasp just how big the city of Puma Punku is.It looks like a city like rome paved areas with stone streets and side walks.They had a man made type river or pool that ran the whole city.I heard you do some fan request in other videos. I was wondering please can we get a full 30 minutes on just Puma Punku a great walk through part 1 and 2. So I can grasp just how large this main city was.I think the builders did Easter Island to.
love the video and music:)
Very similar figures to the standing ones can also be found in South Korea on Cheju Island. They are called Tolharubang or stone grandfathers.
incredible video and music
The insane precision of stone cutting & then the simple almost child-like representation of faces doesn't add up.
