S&F as always..
this is a huge find~! This site in-particular is the single most site that peeked my interest in AA theory, (still not even on the fence they created us)
I watched the documentary where the engineer used his measuring tool(s) to determine the exactness of the angles of the stone.. and it still stumps me to this day.

Why can't it be a storage room - for mops and things like that. Surely they cleaned their buildings? Or did they move when it got to dusty??

You'll end up with more questions from Pumapunku than you will get answers for. Those blocks are made out of Diurite, nothing less than diamond cutting tools or lasers could have cut those blocks. I'm not going to say aliens built that, we don't know what kind of technology the ancients had, and there are ooparts indicating that the modern day mankind was not the only advanced civilzation mankind ever had. Pumapunku may be an Antediluvian settlement.

Scientists Find Underground Chamber Pumapunku
A team of archaeologists using ground penetrating radar have found an underground chamber that could finally answer some of the mysteries of Pumapunku.
Using ground penetrating radar, a team of archaeologists have discovered a large underground anomaly that is only 60 feet from the Pumapunku foundation. The team believes that the anomaly is a man-made chamber versus a natural one and is the only one detected so far from the radar scans. Head archaeologist Domingo Mendoza stated that the team is convinced the chamber is most likely a tomb but there is no direct proof of this just yet.
In a statement to a local newspaper, head archaeologist Dr. Mendoza gave the following details of the discovery:
1. The anomaly found is approximately four feet underground and then goes to depth of 10-11 feet. (thereby making the height of the chamber 6-7 feet)
2. The chamber is approximately 12 feet in length and 5 feet in width and appears to be mostly empty.
3. The chamber appears to have steps leading into it but it does appear to have been filled in with something. (the team thinks rocks and loose soil were thrown in to block access to it)
4. The chamber does not have ground entrances to it and the very top of the chamber is 4 feet beneath the current ground level. (the team thinks the chamber was dugout and then purposely buried)
5. There appears to be something quite large at the end of the chamber that the team thinks could be a sarcophagus.
LightAssassin sent me this link and I thought many here would appreciate this story. Seems like a site that has been gone over many times and horribly reconstructed by the Government is about to give up a new discovery. One could only image what if anything they'll find. I wrote a thread on the site and the controversy surrounding its age.
Tiahuanaco, Puma Punku the real mystery..., Well worth the time to read if you're interested in a little background info.
I hope they take all proper precautions to secure the location and any artifacts they may find. I'll try to keep on top of this story and follow up as more becomes available.
As always....
Stay tuned.

This has been the fall back for archaeologists for some time.
If they don't know what it is or what it's purpose is, then it must be a tomb.
The presupposition of such an idea where there is no evidence at all to point to such a thing is
poor science at best and perhaps deliberately misleading.
e.g. the great pyramid.

we've had ground penetrating technology for some time now. i'm not sure why archaeologists having been using this technology since it's inception. it's kind of a no brainer that tunnels or something underground is at most ancient sites. come on scientists - use your heads
