Summary

Published in 1884, this brief illustrated account of the ruins of the once great city of Tiwanaku in Bolivia pre-dates many of the earliest archaeological studies. Richard Inwards (1840–1937) describes the structures in detail and gives the current thinking as to their possible purpose and original characteristics.
