outer surfaces and accurate edges. The half-pipes have grooves and corresponding protrusions that fit together. They can be joined like children's Lego pieces. If I was staggered by the technical and mechanical perfection of these works that the archaeologists attribute to pre-Inca tribes, I was absolutely flabbergasted when I saw that the finds long classified as ‘water conduits’ existed in the form of double pipes. One conduit was masterpiece enough, but now there were double pipes made out of one piece of rock. What is more, double pipes with faultlessly executed right-angled sections. Traditional legends and existing stone drawings tell us that the 'gods' met at Tiahuanaco, before man was even created. In the language of our space age that means that unknown astronauts constructed their first base on the Bolivian plateau. They had a highly developed technology at their disposal, just as we today use laser beams, vibrating milling tools and electric apparatus. Looked at from that point of view, is it not more likely that the 'water conduits' were protective pipes for energy cables between Beings who were capable of making pipes like those at Tiahuanaco must have possessed outstanding technical skills. Beings with such a high level of intelligence would not have been so stupid as to make water conduits with double pipes when they could simply have bored a larger hole in the same stone to let double the amount of water pass through by a very much simpler process and with very much less work. Intelligent beings with such abilities would not have chosen a right-angled shape for the transport of water because they would have known that water and dirt would collect in the corners. And naturally these technicians would also have made the lower sections of piping, if it was really needed for the transport of water. When the Spanish conquistadores asked the natives about the builders of Tiahuanaco in the 1530's, they could give no information about them. They referred the Spaniards to the sagas, according to which Tiahuanaco was the place where the gods had created men. I suspect that the same 'gods' also made the pipes and that they did not use them as water conduits. Archaeologists and anthropologists do their best to give dates to all historical finds. Once a find is dated, it assumes its predestined place in the existing system and, of course, it is given a catalogue number. So far the C-I4 method is the most accurate used by science. When using it, scientists start from the premise that the radioactive isotope of carbon (C), with the atomic weight 14, is present in our atmosphere in constant amounts. This carbon isotope is absorbed by all plants, so that trees, roots, But how can anyone explain the fact that only the upper parts of the pipes have been found? For the upper parts of 'water conduits’ can be dispensed with, but not the lower pipes. Did these stone pipes serve as water conduits at all? Perhaps there is a quite different explanation, fanciful though it may seem. individual buildings of the complex?
