It's not, it's evidence of cutting diorite, that 12,000 years date is pure speculation. From what I have seen, the only dating done (Carbon 14, from the ground just below some of the stones) points to the 5th or 6th century.

But you have to admit unable to deny, Puma Punku is evidence of cutting diorite at the very least 12,000 yrs ago.
What does mainstream archaeology suggest?
But if man didn't possess the means to do this. How can mainstream archeology suggest that he did ?
So in that case why did they not visit the quarry site as this would help discover how these blocks were prefabricated?

I agree Colin. You're nit picking. The evidence shows cuts and drilled holes and diorite blocks of stone cut from a quarry 60 miles away. No evidence of pour rock. Perhaps the show would be better under your direction but it seems to me the Pros did professional work.

That is my point. There is no evidence on how the stones were produced at all so why were lasers and aliens considered but concrete not considered or at least given a scant explanation of why not.
Also the egyptians were using concrete and the show made referances to contacts with other civilisations of the time. Is that not more probable than an alien go between?

OK, today we'd use precast concrete blocks and we'd lift them into place with a crane.
They look exactly like precast blocks.
They have alignment holes & guides.
Where stones appear to be in the process of 'cutting', there are grooves and regularly placed drilled holes. At the height if the quarry, I would imagine that water would freeze overnight. Water, when it freezes, expands. So you fill the slots & holes with water, leave them overnight to freeze & expand and in the morning have a chunk of stone easily cleaved off.
You can then finish the task with stone cutting/polishing tools which would be mostly a soft metal (bronze?) with exceptionally hard crystal grit embedded surfaces (diamond or carborundum).
None of this exceeds the technology of a society whose "big thing" is their capability to work stone.
Are there other evidences of flooding on the rest of that region or is that localized?

Now what about what destroyed the place as I refered to in my first few posts ? That for me is evidence of a lot more than mainstream is willing to endeavor and is evidence of the Biblical record. IMO.

Puma Punku and all Meso American megalithic buildings in the Andes, are NOT made of concrete. You still don't know that?? Those are massive blocks of solid granite. And there are NO ancient roads in the Andes for explain their logistical transport. And there are NO quarries around, so that those blocks were transported from somewhere else. There are NO excuses, I don't know why people still argue about those constructions...

The ancient alien theory isn't really a theory. It's a fact. Aliens were here.
I never saw those with my own eyes, but I don't see any sign of "laser precision" in either of those images.

Are you sure that that's what they say? From what I have seen, the malnourished slaves version is not being considered as the most likely for some decades.
Mainstream archaeologists are either stupid or liars by keeping repeating that malnourished slaves using chisels, obsidian blades, stone-hammers, wooden cranes, bamboo scaffolding and liana ropes, built these things.

We can even switch the coordinates for other places less known and less exposed by Western media, such as the Ellora caves aka Ajanta caves in India, a whole city ENTIRELY carved from a SINGLE piece of rock out of a mountain. Same laser precision, same perfection seen in the Andes and Abu Simbel.
