Tiwanaku Part 1: The City

I found a newspaper article that say that the walls at Kalasasaya were rebuilt between 1957 and 1978. In 2019 they found a series of photographs taken during the reconstruction. This pictures were presented by the Center of Archeological Investigations at Tiahuanco.

Bless the algorithm for showing me this channel.

You underestimated how excited I would be to hear the words "raised field agriculture"

I really like how you deal with conspiracy theories on this channel. It's brought up and immediately dismissed without elaboration. You let us know that people are saying wild stuff about something while not giving it any, even accidental, credibility. Love your videos!!!!!!!

I’m Bolivian myself and I’ve been to tiawanaku . There’s a small museum right next to the site and inside there’s a 20 foot statue . You cannot take pictures because they don’t allow and there is security but please go to the museum the statue is worth it . It was amazing not too mention the cheap souvenirs and the nice lil town that gives off a south western Texas town from the 1800s . Honestly this place is like our hidden gem . It’s literally in a desert surrounded by mountains , very beautiful views . They also have guides that speak English and know more about the site than most experts on YouTube!!!

I've been to the Isla del Sol. Fascinating place. The men who live on the islands weave brightly colored wool hats that are so tightly and uniformly woven that they can hold water. This is done by hand. I watched a 14 year old kid who was learning this skill weave and re-weave a single stitch like five or six times until it was absolutely perfect. It probably took him over a month to finish one hat. Super super interesting, beautiful and unique place. Unfortunately, the locals also told me that Lake Titicaca is almost sterile due to the introduction of European trout to the lake by the Spanish. Apparently, the trout ate everything else in the lake and then proceeded to die en-masse, leaving the lake completely barren. I didn't see a single fishing boat the entire time I was there. Imagine not seeing any fishing boats on Lake Ontario. That's how huge this lake is. Incredible the amount of ecological damage human beings with "good intentions" can wreak upon our fragile world.

I've just discovered your channel and I'm absolutely hooked. You give a lot of great information in a very easy to follow and interesting way. Keep going man, you're gonna be big

Tiwanaku was a major metals processing facility from minerals that were mined from the mountains that encircle lake Titicaca. The lake was used to transport the mineral ore to the process facility in Puma Punku which has water channels that once connected to the lake. This region produced large amounts of Gold, Silver, Copper, and Tin.

I'm fascinated by native cultures of the Americas, came across your channel and subbed immediately, you sir are doing great work!

It is unbelievable that I lived all my life in South America and never heard of this city before. I guess we need more and more communication about this subject as I guess the the misconception imputed by the colonization on these civilizations was overwhelmingly distorting

My favourite content to listen to while working. Thank you.

I had the privilege of visiting Lake Titicaca and Tiwanaku. I can't express how impressive both were. The Americas have a fascinating history and I am so enjoying these documentaries.

Raised field agriculture. Best part of the video. Overall great intro to a great and mysterious society.

Criminally underrated m8

I love this channel.

I have been wanting to find longer documentary videos on Pre-Columbian civilization like this for so long. This channel needs more attention!

I moved to Cusco, Peru and have been off the grid. Happy to see a bunch of new videos from the past six months. If you attempt to cover the rise of the Incas in Cusco, i can send you pictures. So many different architecture styles, Im a 30 minute walk from a set of ruins that has the remains of tiwanaku style raised field agriculture canals. But the area also has Wari, classic Inca and Imperial Inca structures and terracing still intact. 🤩

I really liked this video, it reminded me of the research I did for an anthropology course. I especially liked the part about the raised ag fields (waru waru)

Another excellent presentation from Ancient Americas. Fact-based information on Tiwanako is hard to come by in English, but your documentaries are helping enlighten us all!

Love your channel ✨ as a South American, I find it really important to study and learn about our ancient civilizations, it’s so interesting! Thanks for all the quality videos and information.
