The Enigmatic Tiwanaku: Uncovering the Secrets of a Pre-Incan Civilization. #Tiwanaku #Inca

The intricate Inca civilization, which formerly dominated the pre Columbian Americas from Columbia to Chile, is still a mystery to us.
Nonetheless, there existed a far more enigmatic and sophisticated society before the Incas.
Very little is known about the Tiwanaku polity, which was this empire.
Researchers investigated Khoa Reef in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia, in 2013.
The reef is close to the Island of the Sun, a place of pilgrimage for the Incas, who built ceremonial structures and left offerings on the island.
Nonetheless, it recovered a significant portion of Tiwanaku culture, since artifacts predating the Incas were discovered close to the reef.
To put it briefly, they were followers of a secret religion that existed 500 years before the Incas.
The Tiwanaku people not only outran the Incas to the lake, but they also made their offerings specifically meant to be submerged in it.
Anchors located close to the goods provided this hint.
Offerings included gold ornaments, young llama carcasses, shell and stone trinkets, and puma-shaped incense burners.
