"Mrs. Culp thought the chain had been dropped accidentally in the coal, but as she undertook
to lift the chain up, the idea of its having been recently dropped was shown to be fallacious, for as
the lump of coal broke, it separated almost in the middle, and the circular position of the chain
placed the two ends near to each other; and as the lumps separated, the middle of the chain
became loosened while each end remained fastened to the coal....."
How did a finely wrought gold chain come to be firmly encased in a lump of coal, an object
that’s very existence requires it to be many thousands of years old?
Obviously the chain wasn’t lost too recently.
The Puma Punka Stones
There is a most interesting thing that can be found in the Puma Punka Complex near
Tiahuanaco. At the ancient site, standing upright in a courtyard, there can be found a tall flat
stone that has a striking feature on it. The entire complex is actually quite remarkable, featuring a
huge doorway complete with lintels that has been cut from a single stone and many other odd
shapes that appear to have been machined including this one (fig.8).
The remarkable thing about this ancient slab is that it has a perfect cut or groove approximately
1cm wide running down its entire length while inside the groove there is a set of equidistant holes
that appear to have been drilled into it.
The site is only a few hundred meters from the famous site of Tiahuanaco but the stone slab
and many other enigmatic features of the site are so hard to explain and pose so many difficult
questions that the entire site is virtually hushed up by the entire archeological community and
almost never mentioned to tourists.
The consistent accuracy of the groove and the holes within it cannot possibly have been
achieved with any known types of hand tools. It would appear that the only satisfactory
explanation is that it was done by a machine or possibly – by molding?
