A Costly Project
This project is turning out to be quite costly then what the Bolivian government had thought. But due to this project, the government will be able to protect the artifacts and structures that are on land as well as the ones which are underwater.
Shortage Of Funds
But the main problem that the Bolivian government was facing was the shortage of funds. At a certain point in time, the project had to be stopped because of the lack of resources. At that time the Bolivian government received help and grants from the Belgian government and UNESCO too.
Helping Hands
After allotment of the funds to the project, the project is started and that too with a pace higher than the usual one. With the help received from the Belgian government and UNESCO, the project is back on track and it is estimated that it would be done by 2020.
Multipurpose Museum
The museum that is to be built is to be separated into two parts, one will be the one where the artifacts that are bought to the surface by the divers will be put on display while the submerged ones are going to have glass walls that are going to be easy for watching the underwater ruins.
Isla del Sol
According to Incan Mythology, Isla del Sol is the time when people were created by God Viracocha brought the great flood, and he rose from the waters and it was at that time when he made the sun, the moon, and the stars. After that, he created the first human beings in Tiahuanaco and named them Mallku Capac and Mama Ocllo.
Made Of Stone
Inca mythology says that the first Adam and Eve were brought to life by the God who made them both first from stone and then after bringing them to life told them to populate the world. And now Titicaca is touted to be the place where the first of Incas were born, and it is also supposed to be the place where their spirits will return after their death.
