Twenty-five thousand years ago Xenia and her descendents lived in a chilly Kazakhstan. Today about six per cent can call her mother. Her band

Those sites in Peru are amazing. I tried to find more information on how Tiwanaku is dated to the first millennium, but all I could were just plains
statements that this is the age of the site.

What a shame as it seems to be one of the most amazing architectural sites on the planet.
