There are numerous traditions around the world of ancient peoples using sound to levitate or lift heavy objects, especially large stones for construction purposes. These legends have occurred in widely separated cultures, including the Incas, the Tibetans, Nepalese, and others.

There are 29 official radiocarbon dates for Tiwanaku and none of them points to any human activity before 1500 BC.1 Mainstream archaeologists believe this proves that there was no human activity at the site before that date – but this may well turn out to be wishful thinking. The conventional view is that humans first settled near Lake Titicaca some 14,000 years ago.2 In Bolivia, however, it is widely believed that the region was occupied by cultures dating back to 60,000 BC, such as the Vicachanense.3 But as shown in The Ancient Americas, there is evidence that humans have been inhabiting the Americas for millions of years.
Chronicler Cieza de León reported that when he asked local Aymara Indians if the buildings at Tiwanaku were built by the Incas, ‘they laughed at the question, repeating ... that they were built before they reigned, but that they could not state or affirm who built them. However, they had heard from their forefathers that all that are there appeared overnight. They also say that bearded men were seen on the island of Titicaca and that these people constructed the building of Viñaque ...’4 According to a local tradition, the Tiwanaku complex was built at the ‘beginning of time’ by the founder-god Viracocha and his followers, who caused the stones to be ‘carried through the air to the sound of a trumpet’. Another account speaks of Viracocha creating a ‘heavenly fire’ that consumed the stones and enabled large blocks to be lifted by hand ‘as if they were cork’.5
