I love reading about all of this stuff and the pyramids. That leads me to one question maybe someone can answer. I guess it's questionable but modern times say the great pyramids were built with slave labor thousands upon thousands of slaves. If that is the case was there enough slave labor in the Americas for them to also build these structures?

If they are right about the guy that build the Coral Castle in Florida about 100 years ago it seems if they had 2,500 to 5,000 like him they could have built the Great Pyramids in a single generation.

They didn't use slaves to build their monuments.

That narrative has been cast aside due to recent discoveries of what we would essentially call paycheck stubs at other temple complexes.

Of course, that is in Egypt, which is where I assume you're speaking of. We are talking Bolivia here though and the folks that built Puma Punku allegedly never even had a written language. (Utter bullshite)
