9. Pumapunku Ancient Site
Pumapunku is a Mysterious Archaeological Site which is part of a large complex located in Tiwanaku, Bolivia. This object is made of stone which has a very large size and weighs up to 150 tons.
Uniquely, at the Pumapunku site, one stone stands parallel to the other rocks so that it forms a row of stones that resembles a fence. Not only that, these rows of stones are very close to each other to lock each other. At that time technology was still not able to make things like this. Archaeologists also believe that humans at that time could not carry such heavy stones without using any tools because at that time they did not know the means of transporting goods using wheels.
10. Underground City
The last Mysterious Archaeological Site was the discovery of an underground city and tunnels connected by construction workers in Turkey in 2013. The underground city was a hiding place for the Cappadocians.
Upon further investigation, this place was called the largest underground city ever discovered. How not, this city has a building 80 meters underground, 600 entrances and consists of 8 levels.
