ANCIENT SOPHISTICATED CITY

If pyramids were more than difficult to create several thousand years ago, then how much more difficult would it have been to build Puma Punku? 

Here is the short intruduction of Puma punky ruins, Puma Punku are one of four structures in the ancient city of Tiahuanaco. Another three structure are The Akapana Pyramid, the Kalasasaya Platform, and the Subterranean Temple.

It is highly unlikely that any of the stones in Puma Punku were cut using ancient stone cutting techniques, at least not those that we are aware of.  Puma Punku are made up of granite, and diorite, and the only stone that is harder that those two, is the diamond. If the people who built this place cut these stones using stone cutting techniques, then they would had to have used diamond tools. 

Not only were these stones really hard to cut, but they are also extremely heavy. One of these stone ruins weighs in at about 800 tons! These are gogantic stones, and they are really heavy. The nearest quarry is at least 10 miles away from the site of the ruins.I really do not understand how in the world did these people move these blocks that weighed many tons, and how were they able to form a structure with them?
