The Mysterie of Tiahuanacu in Bolivia

In Bolivia near, near the Lake Titicaca is an ancient site, Tiahuanacu (Tiahuanaco, Tiwanaku). It has been severely affacted by earthquakes and vandalism. The area houses the Akapana pyramid, and the remains of temples and courtyard like the Kalasasaya, walls and the famous Sun gate.
Recent restorations may provide an impression of how it once looked, but they actually mask the original construction.
The buildings were erected over several phases. Dating techniques based on the C14-method indicate that the site was inhabited in the earliest centuries. On the other hand the same astronomical orientation analysis as Stonehenge proves that the site dates from 15000 BC making it the oldest site in the world.

At Tiahuanacu, extremely advanced stone modeling techniques were applied, see "Verborgen geheimen van de mensheid" (Dutch), Posnansky, Ponce (Spanish) and Protzen. The Akapana pyramid consists of a number of levels which are connected with stone tubes using ultimate precision. The scientific community is baffled by this 'over-engineered design' as they describe it, see ref. Kolata. Water flowed in a very specific way from one level to the next through these stone tubes. Instead of thinking in terms of a specific technical purpose - like an industrial processing technique to treat the water in a certain way - science depicts this strange Akapana pyramid as a sacred model of mountains where streams run from one rock over the other. (What a fantasy!). Mythology tells us that 'the gods' created man here.
It is almost certain that ordinary people were not allowed to enter the site, or at least not to live there. No remains of dwellings have been found. All artefacts point in the direction of 'beings' at work here who didn't want ordinary people to live here…

Legend has it that the gods created man in Tiahuanacu.

A detailed discussion on Tiahuanacu can be found in ref. Posnansky, now out-of-print but available on the Internet.

Tiahuanacu is found in the Altiplano highland
Tiahuanacu is found in the Altiplano highland at the foot of the Andes Mountains. The Kalasasaya is the central part of the complex where the Sun gate is in the outside left corner.
This photograph of Tiahuanacu was taken in 1911
This photograph  taken in 1911 shows how the Kalasasaya looked a century ago. Over the last 10 years, the site has been over-zealously restored.
The major part of the Kalasasaya has been recently restored (in a creative way)
The major part of the Kalasasaya has been recently restored  (in a creative way). The gigantic standing stones and the staircase are original. The rest has been recently added.
This gate on top of the Akapana pyramid is made of extremely hard stone.
This gate on top of the Akapana pyramid is made of extremely hard stone. The planes are extremely flat, and the edges extremely straight. It looks like a casting technique was applied. Look at the triangle spot which indicates that material has been added as if it is a repair done with filler.
Presumably, the Sun gate was not designed as a stand alone gate
Presumably, the Sun gate was not designed as a stand alone gate like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but possibly formed part of a wall.
This carving is part of the Sun gate
This carving is part of the Sun gate and seems to represent a weeping god (watch the ‘tears’ under the yse). The flat appearance of the sculpture is remarkable which indicates that either a casting or a plaster technique was used.
