Voyage to the American Stonehenge

Voyage to the American Stonehenge is a new DVD that has come into the Learning Centre and is now available for loan.

"In the magnificently stark landscape of the Bolivian highlands lies Tiwanaku, a 2,000 year old city that was home to one of the most influetial civilizations in pre-Inca South America. Scattered throughout this remarkable metropolis are huge temples, pyramids and delicately carved monoliths constructed from colossal slabs of stone. But Tiwanaku's beauty comes with an equally beguiling mystery. The nearest quarry that could have produced the city's rocks lies some 40 kilometers on the other side of Lake Titicaca, the second larges lake in South America. How could these multi-ton stones possibly have made their way to Tiwanaku?" -- back cover
