In Bolivia, archaeologists have just discovered the 'oldest' dinosaur footprints in the southern hemisphere. The treasure chest of dinosaur footprints date back to 140 million years ago. STORY: High up in the southern-central region of Bolivia, the Argentine exploration team found over 300 dinosaur tracks. Palaeontologist Pablo Gallina said the team's first day at the site was more than exciting. [Pablo Gallina, Palaeontologist]: "When I stooped down to look at the prints, the other palaeontologists were 50 meters ahead and saying 'There's more here!' And above that there were more prints covering 30 meters with 50 or 60 steps all in a line. It was the traces of prints from an adult dinosaur with its babies. It was more than we could believe." Local farmer Primo Rivera played a significant role in this discovery. [Primo Rivera, Local Farmer]: "I have been looking at these prints ever since I was little. And then I went to the city of Sucre and saw the dinosaur prints in the Cal Orcko exhibition and then I realized that these were prints too." The team says dozens of dinosaurs rare to the area made the prints. One of them appears to be an Ankylosaurus. Evidence of this animal has never been found before in the southern hemisphere. [Sebastian Apesteguia, Palaeontologist]: "The site has preserved traces that are 70 million years older than the ones previously found. They are about 140 million years old and are from dinosaurs living during the Jurassic or Cetacean Periods ...

The film observes the excavations in Tiwanaku and the underwater works in the Titicacasee. It will summarize the results of the past archaeological work and their application in a Indiodorf at the edge of the Titicacasees. In order to show the range of the water system Tiwanakus, also flight accommodations could be possible. Observations of ritual victim ceremonies, which take place today still on the Titicacasee, occupy the alive connection to the water.

Tiwanaku is an important Pre-Columbian archaeological site in western Bolivia. It is recognized by Andean scholars as one of the most important precursors to the Inca Empire, flourishing as the ritual and administrative capital of a major state power for approximately five hundred years. The ruins of the ancient city state are near the south-eastern shore of Lake Titicaca in the La Paz Department, Ingavi Province, Tiwanaku Municipality, about 72 km (44 miles) west of La Paz.

Complete video at: fora.tv Archaeologist Lawrence Coben suggests creative solutions for preserving archaeological sites with little or no police protection. "You don't have to throw a lot of money," he says, outlining how a $50 gate for a monumental Inca site benefited both archaeologists and the local community. ----- While archaeological sites from China to Peru are being destroyed by looters in search of saleable antiquities, those charged with custodianship of the past are locked in fierce debate. Archaeologists, leaders of cultural heritage organizations, and ministers of culture, dealers, collectors, curators, and museum directors cannot come to terms. Who is responsible for preserving cultural heritage? - CUNY Lawrence Coben is an archaeologist affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, where he has received an MA and is completing a doctorate in Anthropology. He was most recently the director of Proyecto Inkallakta, a multidisciplinary project at the monumental Inka site of that name in Bolivia. He has also conducted research and surveys in the Carabaya and Lake Titicaca regions of Peru. He co-edited Archaeology of Performance: Theater, Power and Community(2006), a seminal study of the nature and political implications of theatrical performance at public events in ancient societies. He is also the author of several papers and articles on the Inka, the use of space, the role of performance and spectacle in ancient societies, the use of digital reconstruction ...

Join Researcher David Hatcher Childress and British Engineer Christopher Dunn as they journey to Cuzco in the Andes Mountains to examine evidence for the possible use of advanced rock-machining techniques. Going to ancient cities and megalithic quarries, they again examine saw marks, advanced lifting and moving techniques, as well as evidence of Pre-Incan megalith builders at Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo. They continue on to Lake Titicaca where they investigate the strange megalithic towers and a "stargate" cut into solid rock. Finally they examine the huge granite megaliths at Tiwanaku and Puma Punku for signs of the use of power tools and other advanced, ancient technology. Blows the lid off South American archeology with evidence of advanced ancient technology thousands of years old.

Most mysterieus ancient city on earth! By bernardo saenz. It is an archeological series filmed in the Andes of Bolivia, South America, showing the history of the Andean civilization which is almost unknown by the world until today. We will show their advances, characteristics, and individualities. They are filmed in the actual sites where they were developed more than 4000 years ago having contents endorsed by archeological studies and investigations made in the last three decades. The most vigorous roots of the Andean World are, without a doubt, those of the Tiwanaku Culture whose longevity surpasses them all, reaching twenty-seven and a half centuries, or 2750 years from their remote beginnings until their end. In few words, it lasted twice as long as the Roman Empire in the west. At its peak moment, it had the capacity of expanding into a vast and therefore varied geographical space. WHERE IT IS FILMED We travel the length and width of the Real mountain range of the Bolivian Andes located in the heart of the South American continent more than 4000 meters above sea level near Lake Titikaka, the highest navigational lake in the world having an altitude of 3800 meters above sea level. SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION All the contents of the series have been obtained legitimately through the patient assistance of the Scientific Investigator and Archeologist of the series "History of the Andean Civilization", Oswaldo Rivera Sundt, who in turn works with a hardworking team of ...

San Diegans are getting a chance to travel back in time to the Middle East in pre-Biblical times, some 6000 years ago. Their time machine is a new exhibition at the San Diego Museum of Man. "Journey to the Copper Age" opened to the public last week to rave reviews and it is guest-curated by UCSD archaeologist Tom Levy. The show features many of the relics uncovered by Levy on a series of digs over the past two decades in Israel and Jordan, as well as his ethno-archaeological research in India. This a short excerpt of a 30 minute documentary produced by Calit2 for the exhibit.
