Hello, La Paz for me was boring, here is part of an archeological site an hour or so out of La Paz. The culture that created the site were pre-inca. Inside the museum (where you can't take photos) was a clay piece depicting an asiatic head, nothing like what the indigenous people look like. Google it if you want!!
This is not a cast piece of cement. It is a stone, smoothed by hand. Incredible.
The literal translation of this part of the temple means "Hehehehe". These guys must have been a crack up to build temples with.
In his hands are symbols of both political and spiritual power.
I thought our guide was explaining either the original layout of the temple or an ancient form of hopscotch. When I jumped on it in a playful manner I found out it was the former.
Here is where the creators of the television show "Wipeout" got an idea for one of their games. These heads moved in and out as the people would compete through a gauntlet of dangerous heads popping in and out, for the opportunity to have their heads immortalised in the game.
This is evidence that shows how they connected the stones together.
