Puma Punku and Tiwanaku: Ancient Sites and Contested Origins

Brien Foerster’s book examines the ruins of Puma Punku and Tiwanaku on Bolivia’s altiplano near Lake Titicaca. It presents a challenge to the conventional attribution of both sites to the Bronze Age Tiwanaku culture, arguing that their construction shows signs of advanced technology. The description also explores the proposal that a tsunami from Lake Titicaca buried Puma Punku and damaged Tiwanaku, alongside the possibility that the sites are more than 12,000 years old. The book’s subject is therefore both archaeological remains and competing interpretations of their age, construction, and damage.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in archaeological sites in Bolivia and the Lake Titicaca region
  • Readers curious about alternative interpretations of ancient construction and site history

Book overview

On the altiplano of Bolivia near Lake Titicaca lie the brooding ruins of Puma Punku and Tiwanaku. Though academics insist that both were the work of the bronze age Tiwanaku, there are clear indications that the original builders used very advanced high technologies in their construction.There is also a lot of evidence that Puma Punku was buried by an ancient cataclysmic tsunami that came from Lake Titicaca and that Tiwanaku was also damaged by this event. Explore the fact that Puma Punku and Tiwanaku may be more than 12,000 years old.
