Door of the Sun, the most known of the pre-Columbian monuments of Bolivia, with frieze presenting the Tiwanaku art, Viracocha in the center
The most famous pre-Columbian monument in Bolivia! Its frieze is the most beautiful example of Tiwanaku art. It is said to be an astronomical calendar. In its center, we see Viracocha, with his two scepters, crying. Why is this? A French archaeologist, Louis Baudin, put forward a theory that the Incas and Tiwanakotas were sad people ... Wiracocha is surrounded by thirty-two sun men and sixteen condor men. Some theories even claim that they would be of extraterrestrial origin!
