X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>High in the Bolivian Andes\, on the shores
  of Lake Titicaca\, lies Tiwanaku &mdash\; often called the Stonehenge of 
 the Americas. Around the end of the fourth century AD\, this remarkable se
 ttlement underwent a dramatic transformation\, becoming the first city in 
 the highlands of Andean South America. What triggered this sudden explosio
 n of political power\, economic innovation and artistic creativity?</p>\n<
 p>Drawing on 25 years of archaeological research\, this talk explores disc
 overies that are reshaping our understanding of Tiwanaku's origins\, the e
 nvironmental and social forces behind its rise and the factors that ultima
 tely led to its decline.<br /><br /><a href="https://experts.mcmaster.ca/p
