Nearly a millennium before the Inca forged a pan-Andean empire in
the South American Andes, Tiwanaku emerged as a major center of
political, economic, and religious life on the mountainous southern
shores of Lake Titicaca. Tiwanaku influenced vast regions of the
Andes and became one of the most important and enduring
civilizations of the pre-Columbian Americas. Yet for centuries, the
nature and antiquity of Tiwanaku remained a great mystery. Only
over the past couple of decades has archaeological research begun
to explore in depth the fascinating character of Tiwanaku culture
and the way of life of its people. Ancient Tiwanaku synthesizes a
wealth of past and current research on this fascinating
high-altitude civilization. In the first major synthesis on the
subject in nearly fifteen years, John Wayne Janusek explores
Tiwanaku civilization in its geographical and cultural setting,
tracing its long rise to power, vast geopolitical influences, and
violent collapse.
