Tiwanaku is an archaeological complex 70 km from the city of La Paz. The mysterious ruins were first studied in the 19th century by the famous scientist Arthur Poznansky. He devoted half a century of his life to this fascinating activity. He devoted many books to his life's work, and in each one he tried to unravel the mystery of the mysterious ruins. Their origin and purpose. He believed that the birth of the complex occurred in the 15th century BC, thanks to the ancestors of the Aymara Indians. However, the latest research has refuted this information and put the date of the flourishing of culture in Tiwanaku - 3-10 century AD. The ancient city was built on the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, and was surrounded by a powerful defence - a huge artificial moat, powerful walls. Behind all this lived, developed and prospered a large city with military and administrative buildings, residential complexes, neighbourhoods of artisans, many canals and reservoirs and storage of food supplies. Here in the city of amazing architecture, where all buildings were characterised by exceptional geometric regularity, the culture of Tiwanaku, which was revered by the Incas, was born. Only myths and legends about the fate of this mysterious civilisation have survived to the present day, and the looms of the ruins, which used to be a cultural centre with a pronounced ceremonial and astronomical significance. Ancient architects, first of all, tried to show through their buildings the scheme of the soul's movement from life to death, the so-called process of reincarnation. As well as a rather advanced idea of the model of the world.
