Akapana pyramid, A massive, terraced platform mound with sophisticated drainage, originally topped by a temple. Seven step prymaid originally probably in the shape of of a Chankana ( Cusco cross).
The Kalasasaya (also: Kalassasaya; kala for stone; saya or sayasta for standing up) or Stopped Stones. This site was rebuilt in the 60s, the only stones that originally there were the standing one.
Gate of the Sun, also known as the Gateway of the Sun, is a monolithic gateway. It around 10 tons. Was face done and lifted back into place. Believe that the center icon was a God.
A unique sunken courtyard at the main Tiwanaku site in Bolivia, famous for its surrounding walls adorned with over 100 carved stone heads, some resembling non-human or alien figures, suggesting cultural diversity or divine beings, though eroded.
In the sunken temple there are all these different stone carved heads, some of them kinda looked alien
There were elongated skulls in the museum here, unfortunately we couldn't take pictures.
Puma Punco is a site right next to this site, probably the same sight with these andesite H blocks
Something curious about the construction this picture is of a slab with a place were it would be joined with poured bronze clasps. This is the same in the construction of Angkor Wat.
It's seems the NGO UNESCO probably doesn't want archeological site to continue digging and revealing the past.
