Archeologist stumbles upon something mysterious inside an underwater temple in lake titicaca

Remains

The shores had remains that were left behind by civilizations, like the Incas and many others like Andean, Tiwanaku and the Purakas. But little did people know that there is more than meets the eye and these artifacts were to tell us more than we already know.

Search Accelerated

But the years 1988, 1989 and 1992 were very crucial in the expedition. This is when this expedition was on full throttle, the divers were determined to find out all about the artifacts and the island that had been submerged years ago and what more secrets that island hid within itself.

How Many Of Them?

400 artifacts!

This is the number of artifacts that the divers had found during the search period, but they were still missing one and the most significant piece of the puzzle that was to uncover one of most intriguing fact about the Titicaca Lake and the lands that are surrounding it.

The Crucial Year

The year 2000 was the most important year for the discovery that was about to take place. In the year 2000, the divers found something underwater that was almost the size of a football ground. They could not believe their eyes when they came across that underwater architecture.

An Underwater Temple

The divers found an ancient ruin of a temple underwater which was so huge that the archeologists were relentless to find more about it. They were pretty sure that the temple might have many artifacts hidden inside it because of the ruins that were left behind. 

Mission Aborted

But due to the enormous size of the ruins, the divers were not able to recover anything from the bottom of the sea. The divers along with the archeologists tried a lot to get the artifacts out of the sea but they were unable to do the same and after many tries, they aborted the mission because they could not find what they were wishing to find and because the resources had started getting exhausted.
