Evidence of ancient religion in Lake Titicaca

[Still Waters]

About 1,200 years ago, a reef in the middle of Lake Titicaca in what is now Bolivia became the repository of a people’s most valued possessions. In 2013, a sparkling cache of those objects was unearthed by underwater archaeologists. Six years later, researchers think they now know what the objects represent—evidence of a religion that helped the Tiwanaku state become a dominant force in the region.

Results of the excavation were revealed in a paper published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Sweet.  That puma- jaguar faced god appears all over the place in Andean and Amazonian civilizations.  Sees to me a common concept among many cultures.
