Pokotia Monolith

From a previous version of the Wikipedia page 
The Pokotia Monolith (also known as the Monolith of Pokotia or Pokotia Monument) is a stone statue excavated in 1960 from the pre-Incan site of Pokotia, 6 km (4 mi) from Tiwanaku in Bolivia. In December 2001 inscriptions and patterns on the front and back of the statue were photographed by a team led by the Bolivian archaeologist Bernardo Biados.
Photos of the statue show a worn male figure standing upright with his arms at his sides. It appears to be partly clothed, with a loincloth-like garment, armbands and possibly a circlet or headdress. The face is almost entirely eroded away. There are rib-like lines on the chest. The statue is broken at the feet and at the neck. The symbols are found on the front of the legs, below the hands and on the right and left thighs. More are found on the back of the statue.
The inscription has been claimed to contain Sumerian writings, and it is said that they resemble those previously found in the Fuente Magna Bowl.
It resides in a small museum in Calle Jaén, La Paz, Bolivia; Museo de metales preciosos "Museo de Oro".
