311: Chapter 311: Used to create humans

"Holy crap, 100-ton stones at an altitude of 3,800 meters, transported from a hundred kilometers away?"

"No rivers, no roads, no wheels, a chicken-bone civilization—how the hell is this possible?"

"This can no longer be explained by human effort."

"How do the archaeologists explain it?"

"They can't explain it; they just say ancient people were very smart, which is basically nonsense."

"Puma Punku, I've remembered this name."

"..."

The viewers weren't particularly interested in ancient ruins at first.

Until they heard about such a heaven-defying feat. In an ordinary, mundane world, such a feat actually existed???

Gusu High School, Principal's Office.

Principal Fu looked at the screen, still a bit out of it. "Old Wang, what's the deal with this Puma Punku? Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"

Before Old Wang could speak, Xiao Wang beside him excitedly cut in:

"Principal, everything he said is correct!"

"Puma Punku is just that miraculous. Seventeen thousand years ago, people moved giant stones weighing up to a hundred tons from a hundred kilometers away up a mountain over 3,800 meters high, without cranes, without transport planes, and without any modern tools!"

He paused for a moment, his eyes wide. "Principal, do you think that's possible?"

Principal Fu was stunned for a long while before he reacted, finally understanding the terrifying implications. He subconsciously blurted out:

"Holy crap!"

"How is that possible?"

...

Huaqing University, Physics Department Professors' Dormitory.

Ouyang Baili and Old Wu looked at each other, then both turned to Guan Jingming and Li Mo.

"Old Guan, Li Mo, calculate what method the ancient people used?"

Guan Jingming and Li Mo both glanced at the data they had already looked up on their laptops and shared a smile.

Guan Jingming shook his head. "How could we possibly know? Anyway, even in modern times, it wouldn't work."

Li Mo added, "To transport a 100-ton stone from a hundred kilometers away to a mountain 3,800 meters high today, you'd need heavy-duty trucks, large cranes, and reinforced roads; and that's for our usual gentle mountain paths. But the Andes Mountains are steep and rugged; you can't drive vehicles there at all!"

He operated his laptop and brought up a picture of an area near a city—a desolate place, occasionally covered in ice and snow.

"Look at this. This is a satellite map of Puma Punku. For dozens of kilometers around, it's a desolate plateau with no rivers and no forests."

"Forget seventeen thousand years ago; even now, to get those large stones up there, you'd have to use helicopters for transport."

Ouyang Baili gasped. "So it's true? Seventeen thousand years ago, those tribal people who didn't even have clothes and used chicken bones really did something that even modern people can't do?"

Guan Jingming smiled slightly. "Tribal people naturally couldn't, but there's a hypothesis—the Giant Hypothesis. That is, long ago, there were giants on Earth over five meters tall and weighing several tons. Combined with those Puma Punku people from seventeen thousand years ago, everyone would have to be at least four meters tall and possess immense strength. Only then could dozens of people lift a 100-ton stone; that's the only way it's possible."

"Unfortunately, no giant fossils have been found under or near Puma Punku."

Ouyang Baili and Old Wu both gasped.

Damn it, when Jiang Zhe said the moon came from Venus before, they thought it was romantic.

When he spoke of ancient super civilizations, they also thought it was romantic.

But now he was talking about actual ancient ruins, a feat completely beyond the power of modern people...

This wasn't romantic at all; it was terrifying, okay?

...

Kyoto, Qingfeng Temple.

Celestial Master Zhang pondered for a moment and had a sudden idea.

"At an altitude of over three thousand meters, using the buoyancy of the Nile like the Pyramids is clearly impossible because there are no rivers nearby."

"Then is it possible they used rolling logs?"

"Many miracles of our ancient human ancestors were achieved this way, like the Egyptians using rolling logs to transport giant stones."

Wen Jingqiu, however, rejected his idea.

"Seventeen thousand years ago, the geology there was very desolate. There wasn't a single tree for hundreds of kilometers. There's only a plant called Yareta that grows like cauliflower—it's green, large, and can live for over three thousand years, but it's a succulent and can't be used as rolling logs at all."

"The rolling log theory is just a forced explanation."

"In fact, regarding the Pyramids, explaining it with buoyancy is also quite perfunctory; it's just that we scholars are trying to give the world an answer that most people can accept, that's all."

Celestial Master Zhang looked disappointed. "I see."

Zheng Ming couldn't help but ask, "Then how exactly was it done?"

Wen Jingqiu didn't answer, thinking to herself, 'Don't ask me, I don't know.'

On the big screen, after the shock passed, Xiao Yu asked impatiently,

"Brother, how was this actually done?"

"I really can't imagine those tribal people seventeen thousand years ago moving hundred-ton stones up a mountain over three thousand meters high. There were no rivers, so they couldn't have floated them there!"

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly:

"Yes, it's impossible by human effort; as long as it's human effort, it's impossible."

"Unless their technology was very advanced, or they were giants—at least four or five meters tall to even stand a chance."

"But archaeology has provided evidence that the people of Puma Punku were tribal people, a chicken-bone civilization that hadn't even invented the wheel, and their height was about the same as ours."

"However, in a moment, I will reveal it."

After he spoke, everyone sat up straight again, listening intently.

Jiang Zhe changed the subject and began to ask, "Xiao Yu, you should have also noticed an interesting thing: ancient civilizations all liked to move very large stones from very far away."

He picked up the tablet and searched for information, saying as he searched:

"For example, Stonehenge in the Fu Nation; those giant stones weighing dozens of tons were transported from Wales, hundreds of kilometers away."

"For example, the statues on Easter Island were moved from a quarry dozens of kilometers away."

"For example, the Pyramids of Egypt; those granite blocks were also transported from Aswan, hundreds of kilometers away."

After hearing this, Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes lit up. "It seems true! Ancient civilizations all over the world seem to really like moving big stones!"

Hearing this, the viewers couldn't help but comment.

"It's true. Were ancient people all freaking bored or something?"

"Exactly. Why insist on moving them so far? What for?"

"Maybe those stones had special meaning to them?"

"No matter how special, they didn't need to go through all that trouble, right?"

"Maybe they weren't the ones who moved them?"

"..."

Jiang Zhe continued to operate the tablet and zoomed in on a picture.

It was a massive, flat giant stone lying on the ground, cut very neatly.

"Xiao Yu, look at this stone. It's eight meters long, six meters wide, and over two meters high. Did you notice its angles?"

Xiao Yu leaned in to look, not quite understanding.

Jiang Zhe pointed to the corners of the stone and explained, "On the six faces of this stone, the angle between each face and its adjacent face is a standard 90 degrees, with an error of no more than 0.1 degrees."

He then pulled up another photo showing a scientist on the internet measuring it with a ruler.

"Many scientists have come to measure it, and the conclusion is consistent: these stones are cut very squarely, and the angles between faces are perfect right angles."

"Brother, even today, it wouldn't be easy to make stone blocks like this, right?"

"Yes, modern times can certainly do it, but it requires precision cutting machines and large-scale processing equipment."

"Moreover, this Andesite is extremely hard and very difficult to cut. To cut a giant stone weighing dozens to a hundred tons into a perfect rectangular prism requires a lot of energy and time."

"But seventeen thousand years ago, there was no electricity and no steel tools. How did they do it?"

Xiao Yu kept shaking her head, too shocked to speak.

Jiang Zhe was still flipping through pictures and brought up the same stone with a large circular hole and several smaller circular holes.

"Look at this again. On this piece of Andesite, there's a very deep hole drilled through the stone, and there are six smaller holes next to it."

The screen showed a flat stone surface with seven holes—one large and six small—with smooth edges, looking like they were made by a modern drill.

"Brother, these holes..."

Just as Xiao Yu was about to ask, Jiang Zhe gave the answer in advance: "They were drilled 17,000 years ago, not in modern times. I know what you're going to ask."

Xiao Yu looked surprised, her expression becoming increasingly confused:

"Brother, you're not lying to me, are you? No matter how I look at it—sitting, lying down, or upside down—this was clearly made in modern times!"

Jiang Zhe said very seriously, "It's not modern; it's ancient."

"Every stone in Puma Punku has similar holes."

"Some are round, some are square, and some are irregular. Their edges are very smooth, as if they were processed by some kind of tool."

"And it's not a gimmick from the local government's tourism promotion, nor is it any kind of modern forgery you can imagine. It is one hundred percent, purely real!"

Xiao Yu gasped and couldn't help but exclaim, "Crap!!!"

At this moment, in the livestream room, the viewers' comments appeared again.

"I've checked the information; the stones of Puma Punku really do have these holes."

"What's even more ridiculous is that some holes are square. How do you drill a square hole?"

"I know, ancient people seventeen thousand years ago drilled them with chicken bones."

"Pfft, be serious, person above! You're going to kill me with laughter!"

"..."

More and more comments appeared, everyone feeling it was incredible and unbelievable.

Jiang Zhe put down the tablet, looking regretful. "What's even more miraculous is that as of today in 2026, no one has been able to answer what these stones were used for. At least, no one in the archaeological world can provide an answer."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no answer then?"

Jiang Zhe grinned, the corners of his mouth curling slightly. "There is. The answer lies in the local legends."

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. "Legends? What legends?"

"According to the locals, seventeen thousand years ago, a group of people came from the sky—a group of giants. They were the ones who created these stones."

"In interviews with archaeologists, the locals emphasized that they didn't move these stones themselves. Those giants made the stones fly out of thin air, continuously shaving and joining them in mid-air before letting them land."

"The scattered H-shaped stones we see now are all from a collapse. The locals say that before seventeen thousand years ago, these scattered giant stones were one massive whole."

Xiao Yu listened, dumbfounded. Countless viewers, teachers, and experts shook their heads, their faces full of disbelief.

Jiang Zhe continued:

"An archaeologist asked the locals, what exactly was the purpose of building this thing?"

The locals gave a shocking answer. They said: '[After building this, humans can be created.]'"

As he finished, Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly constricted. Countless viewers felt a chill run down their spines, and goosebumps erupted all over.

Creating humans?

Seventeen thousand years ago, a group of giants came from the sky, used incredible power to make these giant stones fly and join in mid-air, and then used these stones to create humans?
