Among the megalithic remains at Puma Orqo stands a separate Inca-built double-jam doorway with no interlocking joints at all. The presenter says it would crumble in a catastrophe, calling it a poor replica of the older double-jam trapezoidal doors, and notes the surrounding Inca site visibly differs in technique from the megalithic structure. He also warns the age of the megalithic works may never be established — for now it stays undated. 🔨
