Archaeologists discovered ruins An ancient South American temple They say it helped to withdraw the curtain on the works of his occupation of Andric civilization.
Known as TiwanakuThe company lived in Modern Bolivia near the southern shores of Lake Titicac – the highest water lake in the world – before their mysterious disappearance more than 1,000 years ago.
People started living in the region for the first time for about 10,000 years, according to University of California in Archaeologist Berkeley dr. Nicola Sharatt. There were as many as 20,000 people nearby. Qualified stone workers, Tiwanaku were considered widely Prekuror Inca Empire And one of the earliest examples of civilization in Anda Mountains.
“The Company collapsed somewhere around 1,000 CE and was the ruin that the Ince won Anda in the 15th century” José Capriles at the State University of State University, said UA statement. “To the top, He praised a very organized social structure, leaving the remains of architectural monuments, uniform temples and monoliths, of which most of whom are in the point of view, the scholars who had the actual control over the remote places she had. “
Capriles was the leading author of the International Study, which was published in detailed findings this week in the magazine Antiquity.
The temple is called “Palaspata”, which was a native name for that area. Palaspata is located on a hill, approximately 130 miles south of the established historical site Tiwanak. The area was previously known to indigenous farmers, but researchers never investigated them in depth.
After noticing an unusual parcel on the four sides, they turned to technology to learn more. They lowered and collected satellite images of the page, and they also recorded images using the camera on aircraft flights. Then the photos used photographs to build a three-dimensional approximation of Palaspat and its surrounding landscape. About the size of the city block, the complex includes 15 square housings arranged around a rectangular inner yard.
His composition, the authors said, suggested to be used to perform rituals after solar balance: a two-year moment when the sun was set immediately above the equator. But he was probably not exclusively for religious purposes.

A lot about Civilization Tiwanaku remains unknown, but Palaspata would be in a favorable shop, towards Catrilica. Many traded and built monuments across the mountains. This temple was compounded by three main trade routes, including Highlands, high altitude plateaus and the Aendese dole of the kočabambe.
“Most economic and political transactions had to mediate through the deity, because it would be a common language that would facilitate various individuals who cooperate,” he explained.
On the surface of the ruins of Palashata, scientists found fragments of “Keru” a cup, which were used to drink traditional corn called “Chicha” during agricultural feasts and celebrations. The corn was grown in the valleys of Cochabamba.


The researchers worked with the Bolivian Ministry of Culture, Decolonization and DepoTiarchalization for the export of patterns of ruins, dated to the Penn Institute of Penn State for Energy and the Energy Dating Laboratories.
The city is now working with state and national authorities to help protect and save the page properly.
“With more insight into this ancient page, we get a window in the way people have managed cooperation and how we can significantly see evidence of political and economic control,” Capriles said. “There is still so much to find out about that we don’t know, and that could hide in front of your eyes. It just requires opening your eyes to see what is there.”
