Pumapunku´s Unknow godThe Pumapunku is a platform built on an east-west axis in the same plain where is situated Tiwanaku but far from it some hundreds of meters. It's main difference from the other structures at the plain is its T-shaped construction. It measures 150 meters on each side and 5 meters tall. The heaviest stone block weighs 131 tons and was dragged from a quarry 10 km away. One of the sunken temples includes projecting heads of volcanic tuff which may imply remote Chavin influence.
Reconstruction of Puma Punku platform
after Javier E Escalante Moscoso, Arquitectura Prehispanica en los Andes Bolivianos, 2nd ed. (La Paz, 1994)
However the runis are far of seem something like to the reconstruction indicated above:
Geometric forms, repetition and linearity.
Enjoy, really the place is really unique.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment.

Hi, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks
fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent
blog!
