The inhabitants about the region of Tia
huanacu are Aymaras the race that in
cludes most of the red men of Bolivia. 1t is
different from the Inca and is supposed to
be much older. 1t is by no means certain,
however, that the Aynlaras were the origi-
nal inhabitants of the country, and am told
that the shape of their skulls proves that
they were not SO.
The Aymaras have their own stories as
to their origin. One of these is that the
first people upon earth became so wicked
that the gods turned them into stone, and
that the idols of Tiahuanaco were the result.
According to their tradition of the crea-
ton, the world was made by the great god
Pachacamac, and at first it was beautiful to
look upon and filled with comforts for man
1t was ruled, however, by one Khunu, who
seems to have been an angel of darkness
rather than of light. 1t was he who brought
droughts and cold and other troubles, in
creasing them from time to time until man
became little more than a beast Then

STH-o21lSo-S.22 AM able to give you today
hW - " the story of some wonderful
M 6M discoveries just made in the
vel ISM heart of the Bolivian Andes.

ham, in the heart of the jungle within four
or FIVE days of Cuzco, the capital of the
Incas. That is situated in Peru. On the
high plateau of Bolivia are the remains of
another ancient city not far from LaPaz
that has been known for generations It's
origin has never been settled, but now out
of the ground from under it are coming
pottery, relics of gold and copper and the
skeletons of human being that lead scien-
fists here to suppose that it was in exist
ence two thousand years or more before
the first stones Of the pyramids were laid.
This ancient city is klown as Ti&huanacu.
1t is twelve miles from Lake Titicaca, and
some of its ruins are within a stones throw
of the railway that goes from Guaqui, the
Bolivian port on the lake, to La Paz.

to about a dozen 16O-acre farms They
consist of the remains Of massive walls, Of
terraced mounds, and of the great edlicc
sometimes called the Temple. The latter
building covers four acres and it was built
of blocks of black stone thirty inches in
thickness The stones are much like those
OF the ancient buildings | saw in Cuzco
They were fitted together without mortar
and that so closely that | found it impos-
sible to insert a knife blade between them
The stones are cut with absolute regularity,
and we have no modern buildings which
are more closely fitted together
AS it is now most of the structures of ii
ahuanacu have been carried away and it is
only the mighty pillars that are scattered
here and there and the cut stone, remaining
from the old buildings that indicate the
wonders Of the past The temple itself
was in the shape of rCctangle. AS feet

eight feet above the country surrounding.
On the eastern side of this platform was d
lower terrace, along the edge Of which were
great stone pilasters ranging in height from
nine to fourteen feet and in width from two
to four feet There were ten of these All
except one stand there today.
Near this platform is what Squier called

1t was in company with DR.. Buchten
that I went through the museum and ex-
amined the objects he has Just dug from the
ground. The collection is large, covering
many tables and filling several rooms. 1t
consists of pottery of all sizes, from vases
of three or four gallons down to the little
cups the size of half an eggshell Some of
the objects are almost Etruscan in their dec
Grafton. Other pieces have hieroglyphics
that make one think of Chinese or Japanese
characters Much of the terra Gotta is as
fine as porcelain, and, when tapped upon, it
gives forth the same sound The bowls are
of the color of terra Gotta, and there are
beautifully shaped cups, each of which
would hold one or two quarts. The collec-
ton altogether numbers thousands of
pieces, and it has all been excavated in the
past two or three months.
DR.. Buchtein believes that the pottery of
his latest excavations dates back to 5000
years before Christ If he is correct, he has
found the oldest records of civilization now
in existence He tells me he does not think
that Tiahuanacu was the work of the red
race, and that he believes that it dates far
back of that time to a white race who in
habited this part of the Andes. In this be-
lief he is not alone. A scientific traveller
who recently passed through here has
brought forth the idea that the Bolivian
plateau was once settled by the ancient
Phoenicians This man claims that the gold
of Ophir came from the Andes. He says the
Bible states that it took three years for the
ships to make the journey to the mines and
this is borne out by l. Kings tenth chapter
twenty-second verse. In the navigation OF
those ancient times it would certainly have
taken as much as three years for ship to
have passed out of the Mediterranean,
through the Strait of Gibraltar and across
the Atlantic ocean to the west coast OF this
continent and back. The verse referred to
says "they brought back gold and also al
mug trees, and ivory, apes, and peacocks. "
There is no ivory in South America and the
peacock comes from India. AS to apes there
are plenty of monkeys in the lowlands of
this continent, but as to the almug tree, l
know it not.

In talking with Manuel Vicente Bolivian,
who is now collecting the exhibit this coun-
try will have at the San Francisco exposi-
ton, / have learned that many of these
ancient objects will be taken to the United
States and shown there Dr. Bolivian says
that he is in correspondence with the Uni
versity of Yale as to its sending scientific
expedition here to investigate the ancient
civilization of Tiahuanacu and certain other
archaeological wonders of the Bolivian pla-
teau DIR. Buchtein says that many other
parts of Bolivia have evidences of prehis-
toric races, and that the museum will gladly
welcome foreigners who wish to investigate
them. He thinks, however, that what is
found should in whole or in part be given to
the National Museum of La Paz
The museum has many objects outside
those have described 1t has huge stone
figures from Tiahuanacu. One head that
stands on the floor of the court is more than
a yard high and its eyes are as big around
as dinner plate. The figure is Assyrian in
its cafving. The doctor thinks it represents
the head of warrior
Among the most interesting features of
the museum is large collection of num-
mics, recently discovered not far from the
line of the Arica-La Paz railroad. which last
year was first opened to traffic. They come

Tiahuanacu,' and their heads are lifelike
Dr. Buchtein found skeletons of llamas
among the cat-pots. He thinks the ancient
citizens of Tiahuanacu may have worshiped
llamas in connection with the jaguar, which
has head like cat Some of the heads are
as big as my two fists, the vases being COW
cred with spots like those Of a leopard or
jaguar. Other vases show the heads of the
condor, the great vulture eagle of the high
Andes.
Among the implements are spoons of
terra Gotta and of bone There are knives
of bone, some Of which are sharp; and also
arrow points of obsidian. There are also
bone rings, and bohe needles of various
kinds There are stone pipes drilled out of
a rock as hard as quartz How the people
were able to drill the holes without steel or
other metal is unknown.
All of these finds have come from within
ten feet of the surface of the earth. The
soil above where they were found is sand,
and DR.. Buchtein says this indicates that
the city of Tiahuanacu was for long time
covered with water, and that this was the
cause of the wonderful preservation of the
articles. Among the discoveries is large
number of skeletons of human beings The
bones were scattered about, and the Jaw
bones were often a yard away from the
skulls to which they belonged While in the
museum | saw 80 or 40 perfect skulls,
which were practically the same as within
few years after the death of their owners,
now more than 5000 years ago. Those
skulls are different from any now known.
They are of enormous size, and they ndi-
cate race of giants. They slope back from
the eyes almost to the crown, reminding
one of the flathead Indians of North Amer
lea. The jawbones are heavy, and the
teeth, after their rest of 80 centuries, are
still almost perfect. It seemed strange to
look at the grinning rnolars and to peer into
the eyeless sockets of these men of 5000
years ago.
DR.. Buchtein says that he found the most
of the pottery near the skeletons, and that
there we're two pots beside each skull of
man or woman, and one pot only beside the
skull of child
The skulls of the women had plates of
gold upon their foreheads. There are many
of the plates in the museum They are of
pure gold, but as thin as paper. Each bears
the image of a man, showing that the weak
er sex worshiped the stronger 5000 years
before the advent of the militant suffra-
gette. The features of the image are beat
tifully marked; they look as though the gold
leaf had been pounded or pressed upon
die made for the purpose. They were prob
ably fastened to the skulls by strings

The excavations of DR.. Buchtein include
many finds of implements Of stone and also
some of gold, copper and bronze. The first
belong to the stone age, and the latter are
said to date before the times of the Incas.
AS to the pottery, / saw much that seemed
to indicate an Egyptian origin. Many of
the cups and bowls have the shape of a cat.
They made me think of Bubastis, the ia
nous seat of the worship of the cat in the
days of the Pharaohs. This ancient city
was situated in the Land of Goshen, not far
from where Zagazig now stands, and right
on the route the Egyptians took when they
came down into Egypt for corn Bubastis
had many cat goddesses and its chief god
dess was cat-headed woman. 1t had cat
