Description A rock-carved tomb at Phellos.

I spent half an hour in the tomb at the bottom left during a thunderstorm up there.

Amazing! This stone work looks IDENTICAL to stone work in S. America, the look of laser or machine tooling. The exact squares..and duplicate/twin objects.

Maybe Pumapunku is the closest I can find on the Megalithic Portal.

Very different cultures, though - Phellos approx. 400BCE or earlier; Pumapunku 900 (maybe a thousand?) years later. Lycia well into the iron age, Tiwanaku struggling to get out of the stone age.
No comparison, really, geometric art is pretty standard to humanity.

Some way in there are several similar examples, about 12 minutes or so.
