BOLIVIAN MYSTERY: A NEW CAT AND AN ANCIENT MEGALITHIC SITE

It is fascinating to learn that a new species of cat has been found. This scientific discovery will have profound impact on those who seek to understand the history of the world and human civilization.

The “tilcayo tiger cat” has been found in Bolivia. According to the widely reported description, it is smaller than a typical house cat. It is said that this cat species lives in the Yungas Forest ecoregion, which is located on the eastern slope of the Andes Mountains.

At this time, not much is known about the size of the population of Leopardus tilcayo, or the tilcayo tiger cat. But the fact that for the first time in more than 100 years a new species of wild cat has been discovered is causing a great awakening in the scientific community. There is hunger to learn more, and the researchers and scholars are using their curious minds to seek more information about the tilcayo tiger cat.

How did the cat evade the mainstream scientific community for so long? The question must be answered.

My first reaction to this news was to ask if the “cat” has any connection to Puma Punku. While the statement may surprise many (and some may find this line of questioning to be irrelevant), I think that any search for an ancient connection between the two must be found.

Puma Punku is an ancient megalithic site in Bolivia, the same country where the tilcayo tiger cat resides.

Puma Punku is a place of great mystery. Different scholars propose different opinions on what they believe the site originally was.

This ancient archaeological site features giant stone blocks. The complex shows massive stones that have been cut and shaped with great precision. The sophisticated design of the “H” blocks raises questions about who built this site, and how and when it was constructed.

There are many questions as to how such big blocks of stones were carved and moved high up on an Andean plateau, at an altitude of 12,000 feet.

Some believe that Puma Punku could be as old as going back to 15,000 B.C.

Interestingly enough, Puma Punku has a connection to “cats.”

The name “Puma Punku” means, in Aymara, “The Door of the Puma.” And puma, obviously, is a member of the “cat” family. As such, there is the possibility of an intimate connection between Puma Punku and cats, perhaps including the tilcayo tiger cat.

The fact that this new species of cat has been found in the same country where Puma Punku is located is intriguing.

It is known that cats have a special place in various cultures and societies, including the ancient Egyptian civilization.

Some believe that cats were considered sacred and therefore featured in ancient Egyptian art. It must be noted that Egypt is also the home of one of the wonders of the ancient past, the Pyramids of Giza.

Even today, in cities like Istanbul, cats have a special place. Also, interestingly, Turkey is the home to Gobekli Tepe, which is also an ancient megalithic site. It is considered to be the oldest megalithic complex in the world.

I find it very fascinating that major megalithic and archaeological sites have some association with cats. This raises many questions.

As human beings search for clues to mankind’s past and try to understand the meaning behind the megalithic archaeological sites across the world, the emergence of a new species of cat adds to the growing interest that people have in such topics. I hope to learn the answers to many of the questions that have come up, someday.
