	Tiahuanaco, Bolivia
		Tiahuanaco society was self-sustaining, for its agricultural, herding, and fishing resource base was more than sufficient to support the complex state administrative apparatus and the population under its control.
		The Tiahuanaco Empire collapsed between 1000 and 1100 A. It was a magnificent royal city that was calculated to inspire awe in the commoners.
		The ancient Tiahuanaco heartland is estimated to have been about 365,000, of whom 115,000 lived in the capital and satellite cities, with the remaining 250,000 engaged in farming, herding, and fishing.

	BBC - h2g2 - Tiahuanaco
		At its height, Tiahuanaco was the hub of a powerful, independent nation-state in the South-Central Andes, the inhabitants of which survived through herding, fishing, and advanced terraced-farming techniques.
		With a complex social, political, and religious system, the Tiahuanaco nation was a significant power in the region until its mysterious and sudden decline—and the unexplained abandonment of the city itself—in the years before the Inca conquest of the region.
		The Tiahuanaco nation vanished before the Inca conquest, and long before the Spaniards arrived, and although their culture disappeared completely by A.D. 1200, their legacy lives on today in the hundreds of thousands of Aymara Indians living in the Bolivian and Peruvian altiplano.
