	Bolivia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Bolivia's largely unknown Tiwanakan prehistory is as alien as the Altiplano's topography.
		The Tiwanakans built an extensive system of roads, terraced mountain slopes, and huge raised terraces surrounded by deep, stone-block irrigation canals that made what is today a barren, dry region into fertile agricultural land for growing highly nutritious crops, such as a grain called quinoa (their sacred "mother grain").
		Tiwanakan sculptors adorned their large pillar-like statues of the Sun God (Kon-Tiki Viracocha) and priest-kings and other slabs with an elaborately developed, but as yet undeciphered, iconography.

	History of Bolivia
		Beginning about the second century B.C., the Tiwanakan culture developed at the southern end of Lake Titicaca.
		This culture, centered around and named for the great city of Tiwanaku, developed advanced architectural and agricultural techniques before it disappeared around 1200 A.D., probably because of extended drought.
		Roughly contemporaneous with the Tiwanakan culture, the Moxos[?] in the eastern lowlands and the Mollos[?] north of present-day La Paz also developed advanced agricultural societies that had dissipated by the 13th century of our era.

	History of Bolivia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roughly contemporaneous with the Tiwanakan culture, the Moxos in the eastern lowlands and the Mollos north of present-day La Paz, Bolivia also developed advanced agricultural societies that had dissipated by the 13th century.
		The collapse of Tiwanakan influence resulted in the rise of seven regional kingdoms of the Aymara, the most powerful states located in the densely populated area around Lake Titicaca.
		The Aymara, a belligerent people who lived in fortified hilltop towns, had an extraordinary ability to adapt to the unique climatic conditions of the region and increased their food supply through irrigation and the process of freezing and drying crops.

		Pre-Columbian population centers were more appropriately located in the mountainous regions of the interior, where water and agricultural resources were both more abundant.
		The pre-Inca Tiwanakan and Huari civilizations developed sophisticated and sustainable water and agricultural practices with canals and terraces, but may have been impacted by an extended period of drought around 1100 AD that resulted in a significant decline in their population and power.
		Earlier cultures, which built major temples and agricultural centers along the northeast coast of Peru, disappeared about 2800 years ago, at a time when fossil records indicate that El Niño cycles became more frequent.
