How Old is Tiahuanaco? Is it the ’Cradle of American Man?’

Unique amongst ancient megalithic sites, the twin locations of Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku, located high on the Altiplano of Bolivia, represent an enduring mystery for the history of human civilizations. The true age of these ruins has always been a controversial topic, and the man responsible for 50 years of primary excavation and research here, Professor Arthur Posnansky, used a multi-disciplinary approach to conclude that they originated more than 10,000 years ago. Unsurprisingly, this date is dismissed by mainstream archaeology -but just how valid is this dismissal? And what is the evidence behind the claims? Years in the making, this video investigates the claims behind the age of these enigmatic locations, and seeks to understand if Tiahuanaco was, as Posnansky termed it, the ’Cradle of American Man.’ Executive Producers: Mark Rendina Cortes Studio Daniel Sindoni Associate Executive Producers: Ralph Robinson Ellie Cahill Martin Hesse Ancient Sanctum
