Stones Gallery
A selection of photos which show some of the stones found at the suggested Atlantis site at Pampa Aullagas by Lake Poopo, Oruro, Bolivia and comparison with stones found at the ancient city of Caral in Peru.
Many of the stones appear to have been cut, but that does not necessarily mean cut into rectangular blocks such as seen at later sites such as Tiwanaku, earlier buildings had stones which were cut in order to give one smooth side on the outer face of a wall.
Plato described the stones of Atlantis as being red, black and white and these three colours are
found at the Pampa Aullagas site as well as many stones which look like they may previously have been part
of buildings..

The walls appear to be in a process of reconstruction and the fallen stones are very similar
to those found at Pampa Aullagas.
