  • Lost Ancient Technology of Peru and Bolivia
    Lost Ancient Technology Of Peru And Bolivia Copyright Brien Foerster 2012 All photos in this book as well as text other than that of the author are assumed to be copyright free; obtained from internet free file sharing sites. Dedication To those that came before us and left a legacy in stone that we are trying to comprehend. Although many archaeologists don’t like people outside of their field “digging into the past” so to speak when conventional explanations don’t satisfy, I feel it is essential. If the engineering feats of the Ancient Ones cannot or indeed are not answered satisfactorily, if the age of these stone works don’t include consultation from geologists, and if the oral traditions of those that are supposedly descendants of the master builders are not taken into account, then the full story is not present. One of the best examples of this regards the great Sphinx of Egypt, dated by most Egyptologists at about 4500 years. It took the insight and questioning mind of John Anthony West, veteran student of the history of that great land to invite a geologist to study the weathering patterns of the Sphinx and make an estimate of when and how such degradation took place. In stepped Dr. Robert Schoch, PhD at Boston University, who claimed, and still holds to the theory that such an effect was the result of rain, which could have only occurred prior to the time when the Pharaoh, the presumed builders, had existed. And it has taken the keen observations of an engineer, Christopher Dunn, to look at the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau and develop a very potent theory that it was indeed not the tomb of an egotistical Egyptian ruler, as in Khufu, but an electrical power plant that functioned on a grand scale thousands of years before Khufu (also known as Cheops) was born.

  • Ten Years of Research on Bolivian Amphibians: Updated Checklist, Distribution, Taxonomic Problems, Literature and Iconography
    Rev. Esp. Herp. (2000) 14:19-164 19 Ten years of research on Bolivian amphibians: updated checklist, distribution, taxonomic problems, literature and iconography IGNACIO DE LA RIVA1, JÖRN KÖHLER2, STEFAN LÖTTERS2 & STEFFEN REICHLE2 1 Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, CSIC, C/ José Gutiérrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain 2 Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Adenauerallee 160, 53113 Bonn, Germany. Abstract: After ten years of intensive research, an updated checklist of the amphibians of Bolivia was compi- led. For each species, information on its general distribution within the Neotropics, its occurrence within Boli- vian departments and ecoregions, and habitat use is provided. Key literature and taxonomic remarks, if perti- nent, are added. The list contains 186 valid species recorded from Bolivian territory, 33 (17.7 %) of which are Bolivian endemisms. Two species reported recently (Hyla walfordi and Phrynopus peruvianus) are not included because those reports were based on wrong identifications. Nine species (Allobates femoralis, Epipedobates tri- vittatus, Hyla koechlini, H. sarayacuensis, Phrynohyas resinifictrix, Scinax squalirostris, Phyllomedusa tomop- terna, Eleutherodactylus ventrimarmoratus, and Ischnocnema quixensis) are recorded for the first time. More- over, 67 additional species are expected to occur in the country. Finally, we provide a comprehensive biblio- graphy on Bolivian amphibians and an iconography, figuring almost all Bolivian species in color. Keywords: Amphibia, Bolivia, checklist,

  • Samaipata: Bolivia’S Megalithic Mountain
    1 Samaipata: Bolivia’s Megalithic Mountain Brien Foerster 2017 Cover by Marcia K. Moore Introduction El Fuerte de Samaipata or Fort Samaipata, also known simply as "El Fuerte", is a Pre-Columbian archaeological site and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the high jungle of Florida Province, Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia. It is situated in the eastern foothills of the Bolivian Andes and is a popular tourist destination for Bolivians and foreigners alike and is served by the nearby town of Samaipata. The archaeological site at El Fuerte is 2 unique as it encompasses buildings of three different cultures: Chanè, Inca, and Spanish. Although called a fort, Samaipata had also a religious, ceremonial, and residential function. Most academics believe that its construction was probably begun by the Chané, a pre- Inca people of Arawak origin. The Chane, together with other Arawak groups, left Guyana approximately 2,500 years ago. They developed an agrarian culture, built densely populated villages, cultivated corn, peanuts, cotton and squash, and are famous for their ceramics and graphics which have been found mainly in the pampas surrounding the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, El Fuerte in Samaipata, and in Portachuelo, Valle Abajo, Okinawa, Cotoca, El Pari, Mataral and Warnes. They also craft wooden masks and 3 fabric clothing. However, whether or not they had any metal tool making skills is doubtful, and part of the reason that this book has been written. For academics to presume that the shaped surfaces in red sandstone, including several deep niches found at Samaipata were created by a rather primitive jungle people is a stretch.
