There are no motor vehicles or paved roads on the island. The main economic activity of the approximately 800 families on the island is farming, with fishing and tourism augmenting the subsistence economy.
... ... ...
There are over 80 ruins on the island. Most of these date to the Inca period circa the 15th century AD. Archaeologists have discovered evidence that people lived on the island as far back as the third millennium BC.

a labyrinth-like building called Chinkana, Q'asa Pata, and Pillkukayna. In the religion of the Incas, it was believed that the sun god was born here.

According to legends that refer to Inca mythology Isla de la Luna (Spanish for "island of the moon") is where Viracocha commanded the rising of the moon. Ruins of a supposed Inca nunnery (Mamakuna) occupy the oriental shore.

youtuber Mysterion took along a drone, and at 2:37 is a really good aerial view of the Nunnery...the three tocapus are on one end wall of a rectangular building...and there looks to be a forecourt to the building...like to find more about that building!...the area around Lake Titicaca is not much researched by archaeologists...though very famous to Tourists...Dodgers made out...lead off single for Maldonado...Calhoun up...the Bennet monolith that I went on and on about, is a representation of Pachamama...it was returned to Lake Titicaca to much fanfare...it was spirited away to the city earlier...a reverence for things thereabout by the tribes may slow down archaeologists' research...archaeologist, are, after all, tomb raiders!...Fletcher stretches a single to second on throw to third by Puig, which doesn't get Maldonado...two on!...how many out?...Simmons up...Simmons one of five on fan vote list...so maybe will make All Star team...so, so I was up most of the night looking for images of Pachamama...and it was an odd search...as I found these two images early on...fly out...Trout up...with first base open they'll walk him...yep...now Ohtani should be up!...but it's Upton...bases loaded...I don't think Ohtani is even in the line up...hmmph...2-0...a shot into right center...proved me wrong...Dodgers 3-2...Angels inflate a bit!...Pujols up...K...to top of 4th...

site doesn't source that one!...I don't know where it is from...and it's style is unique, and it set me off looking at artifacts in the Andean gold museums looking for it...Dodgers make out...to bottom of 5th...site pursues a pre supposition that Africans made it to the Americas...the giant Olmec stone heads are thought to be African in expression/features...I've thought them to be Samoan!...anyway, and then there was this one...

that's in Bolivia...wasn't sure where La Paz is...and a bit incredulous that that image is there, and attributed to Pachamama...because it looks just like Tlaltecuhtli, which I went on and on about yesterday...and which is the reach of the search...to put Tlaltecuhtli side by side with Pachamama...runners at the corners for Dodgers...Heaney had given up just the one hit, Puigs home run...now another couple...two out...

the Aztec relief looks sorta alike...but that was dug up just recently...bases loaded with W...the church one looks to be a copy of a relief...but where that is I have no idea...was it Inca?...or a recollection of something the artist saw in a book or in Mexico?...the feet side ways toes pointed out is the Charlie Chaplin pose of the Andean staff gods...if one assumes that pose, (Update: DON'T--sore back risk!), this is silly, like doing yoga, one's pelvis and chest arc upwards...that might be a help when giving birth...I dunno!...and it might be a help offering ones heart to the sacrificial knife!...a grim thought...Heaney gets out of it...to bottom of 6th...the Olmecs have a lot of figurines with yoga poses...there might be something to the poses of figures in all the America's artistries...I've gone on that there might have been a universal hand sign language...noting the hand positions in figures...and maybe the body poses included in this...I've come to call this one, the 'frog' pose...it looks like a frog!...hard hit ball results in double play...home run for Pujols!...Angels 3-3...

that pose/motif must have a name...it looks like the tocapus....
from yesterday...new pitcher for Dodgers...Calhoun up...and the Inca polygon...
image sourced in yesterday's post...
now, I don't know where I am in this reach..."Tlaltecuhtli side by side with Pachamama"...the frog pose without a name, or curator captions, same with the church Pachamama...and the gold female figurine...or for that matter, the polygons...keep reaching to see if I can nail this down...for sometime...meanwhile, in those gold museum browses, all kinds of things...

forgot that one...looks to be a stylized tumi knife/ax...the ones used for sacrifices...this next one has the curls with curls of the Moche mural...
lead off K...oh!...I found it again...this is so cool...
In the mid-sixth century, an unusually tall young man was laid to rest on Peru's north coast at a site now known as Dos Cabezas. His face was covered with a striking copper burial mask... ... ...Underneath the mask, the young man was wearing a rectangular gold nose ornament with a silver step-design border. He had three other nose ornaments, including one that masterfully captures the salient features of an owl in hammered gold sheet and strip that was intentionally compressed from the sides and placed in the mouth of the deceased.
