Since those explanations don't rely on supernatural or unknown alien beings, everything else being equal, they appear more plausible. |
One other issue, a diamond tip wet saw is the only way we could cut granite and diorite today. Diamonds were a very rare commodity 2500 years ago. I am not aware of any Diamond mines in Bolivia at that time. But even if they did have them. It seems amazing that they could have such an exotic cutting tool and yet be forced to use "llama skin ropes".
