The discovery of an ancient temple in Bolivia helps researchers paint a more full picture of what society once looked like.

The Tivanaku civilization was considered one of the most powerful civilizations on the continent in its height.

Mysteriously collapsed around 1000 AD. And was in ruins of 15th Century.
Researchers have discovered ancient temple ruins in modern Bolivia, which can help us better understand the mysterious fall of the Tivanu civilization-in one of the most powerful in South America.
The international team of researchers shook the Andes and found a temple complex about 130 miles south of the established historical site of the Tivanu on the top of a hill. In a study published in AntiquityThe team wrote that the temple discovery could provide new details about civilization, which was one of the first in the Andes and a powerful predecessor of the Incas Empire – to that is, a mysteriously disappeared about a thousand years ago.
“Their society collapsed somewhere around 1000 AD and was destroyed at the time when the Incas conquered the Andes in 15th Century, ”Jose Capriles, Penn State Associate Professor of Anthropology and the Study’s Lead Author, Said in a Statement.” At Its Peak, It Boast A Highly Organized Society, Le Monuments Like Pyramids, Terraced Temples, and Monoliths, Most of Which Are Distributed in Sits Around Lake Titicaca and, While We Know TiwaTch, Sundrol and Influence Extended There were on the remote places. “
Looking for over 100 miles of what was considered the center of Earth of the Tivanu Mads when we look at history, said Caprilez. During the height of civilization, the frivolous location of the hill, at which the complex was found, connects three main commercial routes: from the productive high mountainous regions of the north, the dry West and the Agricultural Rich Eastern Valley of the Andes. Caprilez said people were moving, traded and built monuments in significant places throughout the dry mountain landscape.
After the team found an unlimited quadrangular ground, they began to look more wickedly. “Because the characteristics are very weak, we mixed different satellite images together,” Caprilles said. Using photogrammetry through unmanned air to create 3D approximation, researchers stains stone levels that reveal an ancient temple 410 feet long with a width of 475 feet (approximately the size of the city block).
According to the survey, the site included a large, modular building with an integrated, sunken yard. “The complex is a gateway knot that effectively materializes the power and influence of the Tivanu state,” the authors wrote. The layout is also aligned with solar equinox rituals.
On Earth, the team found numerous fragments of Keru glasses that are used to drink traditional uncle (corn beer) during holidays and celebrations. The corn was not local and was cultivated in the valleys of Kochabamba in the east not in place of the temple with high altitude. The find shows the importance of the site as the Central Trade Center.
Caprilez said the temple probably also served a religious purpose, which would be common for the day. “Most economic and political deals had to be mediated through divinity, because it would be a common language that would facilitate the various individuals who cooperate,” he said.
Ventura Guavo – the mayor of Karakolo, where the site is located, said in a statement that archaeological findings were offering an inspection of local heritage, which was neglected. The city works with state and national authorities to guarantee the preservation and protection of the complex.
“With a bigger look at the past of this ancient site, we get a window on how people manage cooperation and how we can significantly see evidence of political and economic control,” Caprilez said. “There is still so much to find that we do not know and this can be hidden before the eyes.”
