afternoon, October 12, we returned from a 10-day trip to Nasca, Ica, Paracas,
and ending in Ayacucho. We began at the Pacific coast, our low. As last year, the focus
was on the archaeology of Peru, both pre-Inca and Inca. But, I also flew over the
Nasca lines (yes, I know, this too was archaeology related), took a boat to the
Islas Ballestas (Ballestas Islands) sometimes nicknamed the ‘poor man’s
Galapagos,’ and we went to Huacachina, an oasis in the desert where we had an

Ica and in the desert is the Chauchilla Cemetery. What makes this site unique
is not just that the burials date back one thousand years, but you see 1000s of
holes dug by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">huaqueros, </i>grave robbers
digging for burial goods and scattering the bones of the formerly buried
individuals. The site is now protected, and you are able to see dozens of mummified
burial bundles; however, human bones continue to be scattered about this huge
site. If you watch for tracks, you will find that foxes continue to visit as
well. </span></div>

back up into the Andes and spent 3 complete days in Huamanga, better known to
us as Ayacucho. These last 3 days were dedicated to learning more about the
Wari and Inca cultures, and I was not disappointed (well, maybe a little bit,
but I explain below). South of Ayacucho, we visited one Inca site only recently
being excavated, and I truly believe that if the Inca could return, they would
reoccupy Pomacocha, a site without the 1000s of daily visitors as at Machu
Picchu. Even their ‘bano’ (bathing area) continues to function. </span></div>

Pomacocha is Vilcashuaman believed to have been a regional center for the Inca
once they expanded north from Cusco. It too does not have many visitors since
the dirt road and the numerous switchbacks entail an average of 15 mph for
several hours. This site is unique since it has a pyramid-shaped temple and the
nearby Catholic Church is built over a vast Inca platform.</span></div>

Ayacucho, we visited the Wari Capital city of “Wari” just a few miles north of
Ayacucho. Since we visited (and I reported on) Cerro Baul, the southern extent
of the Wari Empire, I wanted to come to their HQ. The museum was small but
informative, but the site itself was not visitor friendly. The extensive barbed
wire and even “no photography” signs on the site (?) told me that they really

museums and the staff at the various sites were cooperative once I explained
that I am an archaeologist researching the Wari, for example. I will credit
them on my future blogs. Without their cooperation, it would be very difficult to make
sense of the pre-Spanish cultures. I was able to photograph dozens of mummy
bundles, and dozens of skulls including the deformed ones that may have led to the
Indiana Jones movie number 4 with the crystal skulls—a very historically
inaccurate movie. (I have a better plot for Steven Spielberg.) In the museums I
was able to photograph dozens of ceramics from the various cultures. Ceramic
typology is a very important dating tool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Moquegua at 4731 feet. Moquegua is fairly close to Chile’s border and Peru’s
south Pacific coast. It is located in the Rio Torata river valley, and our goal
was to visit a Wari (or Huari) archaeological site that has been featured in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">National Geographic, Archaeology </b>magazine,
the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">PNAS* </b>journal, and other
archaeological publications. Moquegua is well worth a visit for things other
than archaeology. Check it out. The site, Cerro Baul, is located 20km from our
hotel so we hired a taxi to take us there, wait there at least 3 hours and then
bring us back. Since he (Socrates) had not been there before, he stated that he
wanted to climb up with us. We bought him a bottle of water and we were on our
way.</span></span></div>

compared to Ancient Israel’s Masada of 2000 years ago (the co-director, Patrick

different and does not begin until approximately AD 600. The mesa is isolated
on all sides, as at Masada, and the Snake Path up Cerro Baul compares in part
to Masada’s Snake Path. Cerro Baul had no defensive walls and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all </i>water had to be carried up since
there was no water channel carrying water to the site or to cisterns. All
supplies, other than rock used for building construction, had to be carried to

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></span>It appears that the
Wari were in Northern Peru in the Ayacucho valley already by AD 500 and then
expanded their influence developing an empire in the high Andes north and south
to Lake Titicaca, which was controlled by the Tiwanaku. The Tiwanaku, who lived
south of the lake already in 200 BC (or earlier), spread their empire south
from Lake Titicaca in what is now Bolivia. According to the Tiwanaku, it was
from Lake Titicaca where the creator emerged to create the first people. The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">National Geographic </b>(Jun 2002, p.109)
makes what I consider to be an innocuous statement that “Both the Wari and
Tiwanaku used the power of religion to control their realm.” Duh! Using religion
to control people happened before and after the Wari and Tiwanaku AND into the
present (eg US 2003 invasion of Iraq, ISIL today, etc.). “For God and country
(and his son,) the King” is an ancient concept. Remember Egypt or Ancient
Israel? That this concept was used by the Wari or Tiwanaku, or the Inca is
nothing new.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Both the Wari and the Tiwanaku were
at their peak of power and influence from AD 600 -1000. The Wari expanded
approximately 800-1000 miles north to south but remained centered in the Ayacucho
area in Wari just seven miles distant from Ayacucho and 600km north of Cerro
Baul. Wari, at its height, may have had a population of 70,000. Tiwanaku, as
its capital city is known, at its height may have had a population of 60,000.
In contrast, the population of Cerro Baul was less than 1000. The much later
Inca claimed a “spiritual” relatedness with the Tiwanaku and that they, the
Inca, had moved from Lake Titicaca around AD 1200 to Cusco. Extensive drought
in the 12<sup>th</sup> century may have ended both the Tiwanaku and Wari
empires. In the north, the Chimu succeeded the Wari, and four centuries later,
the Inca succeeded the Chimu to grow an empire spreading out from the Sacred
Valley due to its sufficient water resources succeeding also both the Wari and
Tiwanaku empires. Note that neither the Wari nor the Tiwanaku nor the Inca (4
centuries later) had a writing system, so how did they administer their empire
and keep records? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
One clue is the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">khipu. </i>It is a stringed device (few Wari
examples exist) that may have been used to keep records involving numbers. It
has a primary string from which other cords dangle. Some of these cords have
supplementary cords in different colors dangling from them. The example I
studied actually did not come from an excavation but is in someone’s private
collection (owner unnamed); therefore I’m cautious of saying more until I check
out additional sources for Wari examples. So, a future date to continue talk of
the khipu. The Incas also used the khipu and there are excavated Inca examples
that I plan to use in the near future. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Based on
the recovered artifacts, the excavators suggest that Cerro Baul was where the
Wari and the Tiwanaku did meet and gather in peace. No artifacts or skeletal
remains relating to battles, and with only one exception, no structures were
destroyed or fired. The one exception will be explained below. The site is some
distance west of Lake Titicaca (HQ for the Tiwanaku) in southern Peru, a 4-hour
bus ride south from Arequipa. According to co-director Williams and his
colleagues, Cerro Baul was the southern extent of the Wari Empire. As mentioned
above, Cerro Baul, had no defensive walls. It was not constructed as a fortress
nor did they have a water source or canal on the mesa top. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
excavators believe that Cerro Baul was <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">an agrarian reclamation project utilizing the upper river valley. To give
credit where credit is due (the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">PNAS </b>and
the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Archaeology </b>articles), it is
clear that they carefully excavated the site and conducted surveys and
additional excavation in the surrounding area utilizing several scientific
aspects. Besides utilizing radiocarbon dating, the Cerro Baul Project conducted
an extensive hydrological examination of the Rio Torata and Rio Moquegua area
and were able to differentiate between the shorter and lower in elevation
canals of the Tiwanaku to the longer and higher in elevation (above 8600 feet)
canals of the Wari whereby they were able to reclaim more land for agrarian
pursuits. The Wari water channel was 20km in length and was able to handle the
flow of 400 liters of water per second. They grew maize and potatoes, and other
products including <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Schinus molle,</i>
small seeds of a Peruvian pepper tree used in brewing chicha.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The taxi driver Socrates took us from
Moquegua’s Plaza, 1425m (4731 feet) up to the base of Cerro Baul, 2222m (7377
feet). As we started up, I looked at the switchbacks and knew that this was
going to be a challenge at about the halfway point. The ascent was not too
difficult taking one hour. The descent, with switchbacks, the loose gravel, often
on the cliff side, included some butt slides. The descent also took one
hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

offerings left on the trail. Most common were cigarettes, coca leaves, and candy.
Then at 2500m (8300 feet), there was a small cave, whose walls were blackened
with soot and candle wax. On the flattened cave floor (and outside the cave on
the trail) were numerous offerings, again coca leaves and the usual assortment.
In addition, there were large sums of money both soles (paper and coin) and Ben
Franklin US $100 bills. I have included pictures of some of these offerings.
According to the Cerro Baul book I purchased at the museum in Moquegua, these
offerings are called “pagos” a payment to the gods, in this case the mountain
god (apu) of the distant Mt. Picchu Picchu (meaning Summit Summit or Peak Peak)
here in Arequipa. These offerings continue a 1500-year tradition at this site. Shamans
and others come up here regularly, and this was quite clear once we reached the
summit. </span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">When you finally reach the summit at 2576m (8552 feet) and glance around,
you will not only see signs that people camp up here but 100s of rock-built
niches or offering tables on which offerings (pagos) were made. Some of the
rectangular scratches in the dirt surrounding the votive offerings are said to
indicate fields, houses or farms. Evidently, the more recent suppliants have
prayed to the Picchu Picchu god (apu) for preservation of their fields, house,
or farm. Some were quite elaborate stone constructions, but usually they were
simple as the “Juan” example shown. The Juan example utilized a modern ceramic
incense offering form. I saw numerous broken examples of these as soon as I
reached the summit and the crosses. I realized immediately that these were
modern ceramic sherds and not the ancient Wari sherds. (All too often I saw
glass liquor and wine bottles left behind at the offering sites. Too many
guests/worshippers are not packing out what they carried up.) At the summit, it
is impossible to miss the two crosses and once you reach the crosses you notice
that they are surrounded with numerous “pagos.” Religious syncretism is the
word for this.</span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">I used the book, entitled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cerro
Baul,</i> purchased at the museum in Moquegua to find the temples, brewery, and
other structures. At the summit, I noticed that this was a one-period site
dominated by ruined building walls with bedrock close below. According to the
excavators, it was a long single-period dating approximately to AD 600-1000
+/-. Archaeological work here in Peru is fairly recent, since the 1980s
primarily. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">I remember at one site in the Middle East where I supervised, the
ceramicist “expert” (of the Roman Period) was officially dating all of our
earlier Iron II Period pottery (10<sup>th</sup> -7<sup>th</sup> c. BC), which
my crews were excavating, to a 400-hundred year period. Yet, my colleague and I
were able to date the sherds easily to a specific century. This well-seasoned
colleague and I protested. When the excavation ended, the director announced
that he would not be digging for the following season in order to re-examine
all the excavated pottery to refine its dates. The two of us were not invited
back, but it is an important site, and we were confident that we had sufficient
ceramics to tighten its chronology to specific centuries. Such is not the case
yet in Peru. More excavation needs to happen for a better pottery typology and
chronology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The museum’s book allowed me to find the brewery, which is highlighted in
every published article. My name is “Bierling,” and “bier” is the Dutch and
German word for beer. My son operates the Bier Barrel Distillery (he brews beer
before distilling it), so while on the summit I hunted for the Wari brewery. It
is no longer preserved as in the published photos. Sometimes after we clean and
photograph an area, we backfill somewhat to preserve the ruins, which may have
happened in the brewery. One picture in the museum’s book shows the excavation
in its beginning stages, and my pictures years later look similar to that
excavation stage. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The brewery complex (approximately 2500 sq. feet) has a milling room, a
fermentation room (a 3 to 5 day process), and a boiling room. The milling room
contained grinders to break up the kernels of corn. The clean published shots
of the boiling room show obvious signs of fire to bring the brew in the large
ceramic vats (pithoi, large jars) to a boil. There are twelve burned spots for
twelve large jars, each one holding about 150 liters (39.5 gallons), which
totals 1800 liters or 474 gallons of brew per batch. That’s a lot of Wari
pints. The clean published shots show quantities of sherds littering the floor.
Every jar and drinking cup was shattered. The mugs are called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">keros </i>where the smaller ones held 12 oz.
of brew and the largest ones held 64 oz. of the Wari Apu Special (my name for
the brew) in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">keros </i>with their deity
depicted on its side. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The archaeologists believe that the potent chicha was used to placate the
area leaders, including the Tiwanaku. Invite them all up to sample the latest
apu brew accompanied with some coca perhaps or other, and everyone becomes
relaxed and when you go home (5-7 days later?) you go home with happy thoughts
about the Wari leaders. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">From excavations at various Wari sites around Ayacucho, archaeologists
had posited a different perspective of the Wari as a warlike people not unknown
to use ritual executions and keeping the heads as trophies. Even the
“Front-Faced” god on the large keros drinking mugs when pictured on other
ceramic forms sometimes show a fierce god with a head or a prisoner in his
hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">According to Williams and his wife Nash, a different picture emerges at
Cerro Baul (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Arch. </i>Jan/Feb 2010,
42-43). They have examined the skeletal remains of 1000s of Tiwanaku in the
surrounding area, none of whom died a violent death. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">So, here is their scenario for the final party held at the Cerro Baul
Brewery. It is posited that each leader had his own distinctive keros drinking
mug so there were at least 28 leaders and 474 gallons of a fresh brew. Once
they finished, perhaps a week later, they toasted perhaps each other, Picchu
Picchu (the apu), and then smashed the keros on the brewery floor. They burned
the brewery and abandoned Cerro Baul. At least 28 distinctive keros vessels
were recovered in the brewery and conserved; therefore, the mention of 28
leaders. The empires, both the Tiwanaku and the Wari, faded from history and
four centuries later the Inca arrived to fill the void and to build a new
empire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">I was able to find the D-shaped temples, the other temples, the palace,
the plazas, but it is the D-shaped ones that are rare outside the Ayacucho-Wari
area. Again, they were in poor shape when compared to the published clean pictures,
but the doorway and the low walls remain visible. The former plazas quite often
were filled with stones used to construct the pagos of the shamans and others. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Since the archaeological team did not just excavate the mesa top of Cerro
Baul, but the slopes and the settlements in the surrounding area, they believe,
based on the quantity and quality of the recovered artifacts, that it was the
elite Wari who lived up on site. The empire support staff, the farmers, and the
others lived below. The 20km Wari water canal supplied three of these
settlements. Downstream, the Tiwanaku also had a brewery, but smaller in size
than the Wari one up on Cerro Baul. </span></span></div>

excavating and to see and to handle the artifacts of both cultures and how the
elite Wari lived up on the site and how their lives differed from the empire

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Once we
arrived back in Puno from the 9-hour boat ride on Lago Titicaca, we went to the
Plaza de Armas where the students were informed to meet at the restaurant at
7:30 pm. All of us gathered at 7:30 pm for cena (supper) and a local musical
group sang and played pan flute (and other instruments) for us informing that
music brings the cultures together. We enjoyed the group and thanked them as
they departed. Last year, I purchased their CD/DVD. Later, we hopped back onto
the bus and returned to our hotel. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></b>Now, back at our hotel in
Chucuito, Profe allowed us to sleep in on Domingo (Sunday), but we needed to
gather outside the hotel near the lago for 9 am devotions. Once we finished
reading scripture and singing songs accompanied by guitar, we were given free
time until noon. Profe encouraged the students to explore the local village,
and the two of us headed first for the fish farm since Profe missed it last
year (I went there alone then). All of sudden, the Colombia and Mexico students
were above us on the trail singing “Feliz Cumpleanos” for me. Gracias amigas. </div>

since the six of us were the first visitors, as he unlocked the gate, he took
us to the “incubation” room where the students fed the fingerlings. What
especially surprised Profe and myself was that the fish were Rainbow Trout,
initially from Colorado USA decades ago. I did not know that last year during
my brief visit. The adult trout are huge and beautiful. Other students joined
us soon after. This fish farm is popular with the locals for Sunday picnics,

fancy-cut bushes, a quartz sundial, and a good number of locals communing
together on Sunday. The transit vans kept on coming into the plaza where the
area locals gather for food and fellowship. Profe Bierling wanted the students to
come here because as the stones laid out on the hillside state, “Cajas Reales”
or Royal boxes. During the Spanish Conquest times of the Inca King Atahualpa,
the Spanish placed boxes here before a cross (also shown in a picture), and the
local Incas had to fill them with gold and silver to save the life of their
king, but the Spanish killed him in spite of all the gathered
gold/silver. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The main Cathedral, the Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion is
missing its original roof now replaced with tin, and the church shows its wear.
No services are held here due to no priest for this village of 1100
inhabitants. Near the front and off to one side was a painting of a bridge linking
this village and church with Rome. In the back was a well-worn painting showing
the Circumcision of Jesus with the rabbi in the foreground, Baby Jesus held by
Mary and Joseph on the left in back. Last year we were the only visitors, and
only a few other tourists entered while we were there this year. Some of the 2014 students also entered. Profe and I
were happy to be able to spend some time inside the church filled with so many
ghosts of the past but were unable to tell us their history.</span></div>

Evidently a wedding reception had
occurred as we approached the Cathedral and the guests were now below the steps.
Other than the bride and groom, the guests were wearing traditional dress, as
the pictures show. The pictures also show (discretely) the cases of beer the
guests had in front of them. I re-photographed the plaza as combi after combi
(transit vans) were bringing in the surrounding locals to relax and visit
together in the plaza on Sunday (Domingo). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>By noon, we
gathered back at the hotel for “almuerzo” or lunch and we sang “Happy Birthday”
to me (Sept 21) and to three other students whose birthdays were either on
September 22 or soon after. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We left the
village and hotel (wise choice) and headed for Puno and the Mirador (Lookout)
where we were able to see a statue of Manco Capac, the first Inca (King, ca. AD
1200) pointing to Lago Titicaca and their spiritual homeland before the Inca
moved to Cusco (already blogged). </div>

Today we leave Lago Titicaca after
spending nine hours yesterday on a boat visiting the Islas de los Uros and Isla
Taquile. While on the islands, we learned about the cultures here past and
especially the present. But now we are on our way to visit an intriguing
archaeological site above Lago Titicaca.</div>

Sillustani is an ancient site
dating back to the Tiwanaku Empire days (and other earlier cultures), but the
focus on site is on the later Colla and Inca funerary towers “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chullpas</i>.” I would like to return here a
third time to spend much more time since the funerary practices of the Inca
here and the earlier cultures resemble very much the funerary practices of BC
cultures in the Sinai (now part of Egypt) and in Syria. Similar needs-similar
responses? </div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On our way
back to and through Puno, we stopped at the Mirador, which was interesting for
me since the statue provides me with a second image of Inca Manco Capac. The
statue makes more sense to me now that I researched the Inca (Kings). Our final
stop was at Sillustani, a pre-Inca site of the Colla Aymara tribe who later allied
with the Inca and became part of their southeastern group. However, this site
was occupied by another tribe before the Inca and the Colla, the Pukara who
lived here from 800 BC to 500 AD. The Tiwanaku followed them from approximately
AD 600 - 1100. The Tiwanaku formed an empire during those centuries controlling
Lago Titicaca south through what is now Bolivia. More about them in a later
blog. Sillustani is located on a peninsula of Lago Umayo, the summit is near
13,000 in elevation. </div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On
our way up to the summit, we stopped at one of the few remaining stone
monoliths (or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">huacas</i>) representing a
person. The monoliths lost their heads during Spanish times since the Spanish
viewed them as idolatrous. Evidently some of them were carved with a
decapitated head in one hand and a weapon in the other hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nearby and further up on the way up to the summit
are the remains of distinctive and circular Inca temples (sun is the larger one
and moon the smaller) either not completely excavated or recovered up to
preserve it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The unanswered question for
me is when was the latest year when the circles were sectioned to clearly
define its dimensions, including its depth. I would love to do it and then
recover the sectioning to protect it. According to on-site signage the sun
temple circle was intact back in 1864 and had two huacas within where one was
falling. Was that the last year this was examined?</div>

The distinctive features of this site are the funerary
towers (“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chullpas</i>”), in which the
Colla/Qolla people (AD 1100 – 1450) and the Inca (1450-1532) buried its
nobility up on the summit (at 12,950 feet). No doubt the Colla/Inca would
gather here periodically to conduct feasts and/or libations for the dead. The
tallest chullpa is 40-feet in height. Most of these tombs on the summit though
are much shorter (and no longer towers) and especially the ones down below remind
me of the Nawamis in the Sinai Desert where 9000 years ago the Neolithic
peoples buried their dead. Both the tombs below and the ones in the Sinai are
constructed of field stone and cylindrical with the opening facing east. In
both cases, long stone slabs compose the roof. The dead, along with some
possessions, were placed on the floor with some possessions. The shorter and
fieldstone round ‘towers’ may date to the Tiwanaku. </div>

For me, the distinctive feature of the Colla/Inca funerary
towers on the summit was that the massive blocks were cut and shaped smooth to
compose a cylinder (think soup can), however, the diameter is greater at the
top than at the base. As we walked, I pointed out to some of the students that
some of the fallen blocks were now used to line our walkway. We did the same
thing at Petra (Jordan) using some of the fallen temple and Byzantine church
blocks to compose a walkway for tourists. In 2013, I had no problem convincing
some of the students to enter a funerary tower on the summit for pictures. Surprisingly,
they remained in the tomb talking for at least 20 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some mummies have been recovered here and are
pictured on the on-site signage. Check out the shorter chullpas here to note
how they were constructed and what they look like inside.</div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In 1971 as
they were excavating one of the larger chullpas<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, </i>the funerary tower known as the Lizard Chullpa, they recovered a
gold jewelry horde (501 pieces) plus other metals and stones (silver, copper,
lapis, for examples), a total of 1280 objects. Many of the pieces are believed
to have been part of what the elite Colla/Inca was wearing. Neither this year
nor last did we have time to tour the onsite museum. And we definitely did not
have time to visit the museum in Puno where this horde is on display (It was on
my list, but we returned to Puno’s harbor too late.). This funerary tower was
built over Tiwanaku remains, a pre-Inca culture mentioned above. The diameter
of the base is more than 7 meters (23 feet) and its height is 12.2m (40 feet).
At least some of these chullpas were covered with dome-shaped stones. The Inca
continued the Colla funerary tradition at least until 1532.</div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>From
Islas de los Uros we boated to another island, one that has a firm foundation,
Isla Taquile (about 35km/22 miles) east of Puno. It is small, only 7-sq-km, with
perhaps two thousand residents, who speak Quechua. After getting off the boat,
we hiked a gradual slope up to the top (13,164 feet in elevation) to the
village. I noticed that a mudbrick structure under construction back in 2013 is
now set up as a restaurant. If you have traveled to or lived on the Greek
islands as I have, life on this island is similar. In fact, I told some
students about the comparison recognizing that the cultures are different.
Remember too, that this day was sunny and warm, even at 13,000 feet. After
spending some time in the village square checking out the local textiles, and
now that it was late afternoon, most of us put on warmer clothing due to the
now cold breeze. It would be easy for me to relax on this island, and some
people do overnight here—confirmed by Profe. The floating Uro Island overnight
would be quite the experience<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(especially if you walk in your sleep), but here you actually have
enough room to hike around and explore. </div>

While in the village square, we were taught about the
local clothing traditions. For example, the women weave colorful and wide
waistbands for their men. The men also carry a woven bag containing their coca
supply. When the men meet each other they may swap coca leaves. When I heard
this, I took out my coca bag from my vest and swapped some coca with a local
resident. The pictures will also show him wearing a woven wool red cap. Red
meaning that he is married, and other young men wear a red and white cap,
meaning that they are available. They tried to get me to wear a red cap last
year, but it was way too small, and I was unable to get it onto my head. It is

Our boat had moved to a different port. This way we
were able to experience more of the island as we descended to the dock on
another side of the island. Profe mentioned that back in her visit here in 2000
she had ascended and descended on this path. This island opened up to tourism
around 1998. This is a steeper path and our earlier and easier ascent was a
more recent construction. </div>

lake making for bigger swells. For a while, we were up to 11-12 mph; sometimes
some water came over the stern; sometimes the boat slid sideways in the swell,
so the pilot slowed down. One of the students asked if there was a problem, but
I responded ‘no pasa nada.’ The pilot had slowed due to the swells, but then we
did not arrive back to the Puno harbor until after sunset at 6 pm. Nine hours
on Lago Titicaca. Wow! I have never spent that many hours on a boat on Lake
Michigan. What a treat. The students had plenty of time to bond and to share. And
now, some had enough time to do shopping before meeting in the restaurant for
supper at 7:30 pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

left for our trip to Puno and Lake Titicaca Friday afternoon around 4 pm, so we
were able to see Misti, Chachani, and snow-covered Ampato as we left Arequipa
and ascended. Profe had advised us to take cold-weather gear along since we
would be boating and hiking above 12,500 feet. In addition, we ascended above
15,000 feet with the bus. Saturday morning was sunny and a few of us wore
t-shirts for at least part of the day. </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">This year we arrived here with 24 students from the US, Columbia, and

hop on board a boat to travel on Lago Titicaca. It took at least two hours to
arrive at Islas Flotantes (Floating islands) inhabited by the Uros people. The
man-made islands float on reeds approximately 7 km east of the Puno harbor. I
had my GPS and noted that the fastest our boat went was 9.5 mph. But we were on
the lake for 9 hours covering about 75 km (approx. 40 miles) roundtrip. I
remember reading about this lake and these islands decades ago in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">National Geographic, </b>but I never
dreamed about coming here since for the past 40 years (1972-2012) my life was
devoted to archaeological work in the Middle East. And now, here I am for a
second time. What a treat. </span></div>

disembarked from the boat onto the reed surface of the island, we were
presented with a talk on the island construction and many of us ate pieces of
the totora reed, the hearts of, which add fiber to the diet. The reeds are used
to construct the homes and boats, and the students were treated to a reed-boat ride
(Profe paid). The roots of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">totora</i>
reeds are buoyant. They tie clumps of it together and then pile the reed tops
in a crossway fashion on top. The islands are anchored, so we tied the boat to
the island and stepped on the soft and springy reeds. </div>

These particular islands are geared for and survive
solely from tourist dollars and are fairly new. But, originally, the small Uro
tribe fled to the lake and constructed the islands to escape the more
aggressive on-shore tribes. The Uros speak Aymara language. The families live,
fish, and use the tourist dollars to buy other staples. The children, who you
will see in the pictures, are boated to school. These islands have solar panels
to provide light in the evening. Some of the pictures will show some of us gathered
around the small homes. </div>

It is possible to overnight here, which Profe and I
could do at some point in the future since we have additional questions about
life on the islands. It was interesting to watch the little children go right
to the water’s edge to play. When the students boarded a reed boat, they needed
to be careful to not step into the water. Since the reeds do rot, newly cut
reeds are constantly piled on top, but in some places I noticed water seeping
up onto my shoes—more reeds here please.<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></div>

Last night I received a call from
Quechua Tours about guiding a group down Chachani on bikes. I said “Si” and
asked no questions other than what time are you picking me and my bike up
Thursday AM?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, 8:30 AM I was ready; we
loaded my bike on the rack and headed up by 9 AM. It was a Dutch couple, just
married and on their honeymoon to Arequipa and to other places in Peru. Ana was
from my hometown in the Netherlands, Den Haag, and Pieter was from Delft. I was
able to practice my Dutch again. This day was super and would continue to be
so. The weather was cool and sunny, and it got colder as we ascended to 15,787
feet (4755m), slightly higher than the last time I was up here. On our way up,
Misti, just under 20,000 feet, was on our right and Chachani on our left. Chachani is just over 20,000
feet, but the only road goes up to the towers at 16,000 feet. </div>

It took 2 hours to reach this point
since this vehicle was not as fast as the previous one (90 minutes). We dressed
up, put on our knee and elbow pads, drank some water, took pictures of us at
near 16,000 with Misti behind us, and it was all downhill from there. As
before, on previous trips, it is a jarring ride. The exceptions were when we
took the loose volcanic dust shortcuts. There was no one out here this time—no
other bikers—or vehicles carrying trekkers up to Chachani or Misti. We were
alone in the vastness of this terrain. We saw numerous tracks belonging to
llamas, alpacas, and vicunas, but we saw none. The numerous bird tracks were of
grouse (I heard later the Peruvian word, but I did not write it down). These we
did see. I saw other animal scats, but I did not bother this time to cut them
apart to determine the animal. </div>

Finally, we hit pavement once again
(2 hours later) and then had another exhilarating but now fast ride down to
10,000 feet where we loaded the bikes and descended down to 8000 feet in
Arequipa. It was only a 35K downhill ride, but remember the jarring and the
likelihood of falling in the loose volcanic sand or slipping off a rock onto
the road. But, that’s what the pads and helmet are for, correct?</div>

Arequipa, Peru (estudiantes, profe, y yo) a las ocho (8 AM) on Saturday, August
30 for Canon de Colca, which not only has a deep canyon but also the soaring
condors (Cruz Del Condor). It was a 4-hour bus ride to Chivay but well before
there we stopped for and photographed several times llamas, alpacas, and
vicunas. At times we were able to get up close and personal with them before
they jogged away. </div>

We stopped a rest stop restaurant for coca tea just in case
of problems with the elevation. We reached an elevation of 16,222 feet (4886m)
at the Mirador de los Volcanes where we stopped to take pictures. (Some people
asked me if I was not too cold in just a tee shirt. My response was—I’m from
Michigan, el norte in EE.UU.) Here we were surrounded by sometimes active
volcanoes.</div>

Once over the pass we stopped for our boxed lunch before continuing
on to Chivay, the entry point into the Canon del Colca. Here we stopped for
perhaps 30 minutes before continuing on to thermal baths where we had a
relaxing 60-minute soak (La Calera Hot Springs). Actually 60 minutes without
leaving the pool is too much, but I left too totally relaxed and then had to
climb back up above the river to the bus. </div>

the evening (elev. After an excellent supper and a birthday cake to celebrate
Jenna’s birthday before Sunday (since we would be hiking), we separated to
spend the evening talking with our travel companions or walking through the
town’s Plaza. In the morning several students mentioned waking up early due to
the roosters and donkeys; therefore, I added a picture that donkeys were

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On Sunday,
we just had to travel a few miles for breakfast and the first Mirador (lookout
point at 12,200 feet) for the condors. We later went to another Mirador (at
12,600 feet) for the condor where we also had Sunday devotions (I hope to add
video) and additional time to watch for the condors. At each stopping point the
students aided the economy of Peru by purchasing alpaca sweaters etc. (for
family members).</div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I first
came to hear of this (for me back then) unpronounceable site back in 2013 while
in Cusco and at Machu Picchu. It didn’t mean much to me then. This was my first
time to Peru, to Cusco, and now Machu Picchu. Sometime later it came back to
me---what, Machu Picchu has a sister city? As a boy I remember looking at the
pictures of Machu Picchu (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">National Geographic</b>)
wishing I could go there, and now here I am, and I find out that there is
another one? Then I asked a friend here in Arequipa about this site that I
could not pronounce. Katia knew what I was talking about and fed me some
information. Now that I had the spelling of the site, I then went to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lonely Planet, Peru, </b>which I discovered
only had one small paragraph of info, and so I went to Google Earth and wow! It
exists. Now I begin to wonder if I can go to this site in 2014. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I then
began to gather information on Choquequirao, which included rereading Hiram
Bingham’s account of his visit in his book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lost
City of the Inca </i>(2011 ed). Actually, as he writes, he was in Peru NOT to
“discover” Inca sites but was researching Bolivar’s Wars of Independence and
was on his way to Ayacucho. But, in 1909, while passing through Cusco and Abancay,
the Prefect invited him to go on a treasure hunt at Choquequirao. Its name
means “Cradle of Gold.” I want to believe that Bingham did not agree with the
premise for the visit, but agreed to go along and the visit led to a change of
careers for him—he wanted to become expert on the Incas and to “discover” or
visit their cities.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Like Machu
Picchu, the road to Choquequirao begins in Cusco. On the road out of Cusco, the
group Bingham joined pass by Sacsaywaman (Bingham used a different spelling) a
“Cyclopean fortress” (p. 115) with its mega-ton polygonal blocks. In 2013 in my
first visit to Sacsaywaman, I heard this word “cyclopean” used and it sent
chills up and down my back, since this is a Middle Eastern archaeological term
(not “Greek myth” but story passed down) going back to wall or tomb construction
at sites dating back to more than 3200 years ago. Uncovering, measuring, and
photographing “cyclopean” blocks was part of my job in the Middle East. And
then when I returned to my teaching job in the states, I got to tell stories
and to challenge my students, how did the ancients construct these walls or
tombs? That was another fun part of my teaching job. However, due to wars,
climatic change, and movement of peoples 3200 years ago, knowledge was lost how
these walls or tombs were constructed with these huge blocks weighing 100 tons
and more. The answer back then was that only the ancient Cyclops could have
built such walls/tombs with these massive blocks. And here in Cusco, this word
was used to define the fortress walls of Sacsaywaman. This was another defining
and serendipitous moment for me. Now that I have returned to Sacsaywaman in
2014 and plan to do so one or more times this year, I do plan to do more
research on the site and blog it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Soon
Bingham describes the extreme hardship to get to Choquequirao; the slog
downhill; the attempt to cross the Apurimac River, which at that time of year
(Feb), he says was “a raging torrent 250 feet wide … , over 80 feet deep.” (p.
120). Once they succeeded in crossing the river, the slog uphill began, which
he points out that “the trail was so steep that it was easier to go on all
fours that to attempt to walk erect.” (p. 123) I enjoy reading Bingham’s
account because I too now plan to do the 2-day hike to the site carrying my
backpack accompanied by mules carrying our food, tents, and other supplies. Two
days in, one day at the site (Bingham spent 4 days on site), and then another
two days back out to Cusco. I plan to read other firsthand accounts to better
prep myself for the trek. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Once
Bingham gets to Choquequirao, he makes reference to recommendations by the
Royal Geographical Society (RGS): “take careful measurements and plenty of
photographs and describe as accurately as possible all finds.” (p. 125) Since
he implements these guidelines at all sites, he clearly accepts this as a
mandate, and this is much to his credit and for our benefit. It was
Choquequirao that led Bingham to return to Peru the following year to search
for the “Lost City of the Inca.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Mark Adams,
an editor for a US travel magazine decided a few years ago to follow in the
footsteps of Hiram Bingham one hundred years after Hiram and entitles his book,
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Turn Right at Machu Picchu, Rediscovering
the Lost City One Step at a Time</i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">, </b>2011<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. </b>Mark Adams’ book is both an
informative and an interesting read, and of course, as Bingham did, from Cusco,
Adams determines to head for Choquequirao, and as Bingham did, Adams hires a
guide (John Leivers), mules, a crew, and starts walking.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Adams
devotes chapters to the family history of Hiram Bingham, which provided me with
another serendipitous moment since Hiram’s grandfather, Hiram I was Abner Hale
in James A. Michener’s book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hawaii. </i>Hiram
I was an inflexible missionary sent to Hawaii in the 1800s. I loved that book
and almost went to Hawaii to study archaeology there, in spite of Abner Hale.
However, it was a road not taken (My Dad forced me to cancel my air ticket). Soon
thereafter and in the Middle East, archaeologist Trude Dothan became my boss and
friend at the excavation Tel Miqne-Ekron for more than a dozen years. Before
she became my boss, she had been interviewed extensively by James A. Michener
and his staff, and Trude became the female Israeli archaeologist in Michener’s
book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Source.</i> That book was my
road taken. And now I am here in Arequipa, Peru prepping to follow in the
footsteps of Hiram Bingham III to Choquequirao. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>While on
the road to Cachora, the town too where I plan to begin the hike, Adams mentions
about the difficulty in getting at Inca history. The Incas had no written
language so archaeologists try to get at their history through the artifacts,
but from my experience, this is extremely difficult. (Yes, it is true that some
written sources come through Spanish historians, but, in a way, that may be
like trying to learn about Iraq and its people by reading an account of the US
2003 invasion of Iraq written by Dick Cheney. Adams also references Dick Cheney
in an analogy.)<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
People have always asked me what
was the most exciting or important artifact I/we uncovered. I remember a find of
gold jewelry (from around 1500 BC) and shouting out “gold” and everybody came
running. I remember a silver jewelry cache (found by my oldest daughter who was
17 at the time), carved ivory, or other gold objects all of which are now on
display in museums. However, the most important artifact (and also in a museum)
and which I had the privilege of filming its uncovering was the cornerstone of
a Philistine temple which, once translated, basically announced to us welcome
to Ekron, listing their kings, and their goddess. Most names had been unknown
to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That inscription was uncovered 14
years after myself and others began excavating the site, and we did not even
know if the site/city was Ekron until the inscribed stone was recovered. Therefore,
the fact that the Inca had no written language makes it extremely unlikely that
we will get to know the Inca culture well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Adams points out how much the
Choquequirao site is similar to Machu Picchu. It is in the Sacred Valley and
connects to Machu Picchu by a complex system of “Inca Trails.” Choquequirao, as
Machu Picchu, was built up on a high ridge with a sacred river below and
surrounded by higher peaks, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">apus, </i>the
mountain gods. Machu Picchu is at 2430m (8068 feet) and Choquequirao is at
3030m (10,060 feet). Choquequirao also has upper and lower terraces with a
central plaza and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">usnu </i>platforms
where the religious rites were conducted, and as Machu Picchu has a winter
solstice line passing through, so did Choquequirao. As in ancient Egypt, the
Inca king was a son of the sun god, Inti, so the solstice line would be
important for the Inca (king) to reinforce to his people that the sun god was
with him.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
So, the above presents some of what
I know of Choquequirao thus far. Neither Bingham nor Adams’ accounts change my
mind of trekking there. I’m confident that I will learn a lot more while on the
trek and while at the site. I plan, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ojala,</i>
to get back to you about Machu Picchu’s Sister City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

A Note: Now in
August 2014 I am encouraging this year’s students from EE.UU. to climb Misti as
did the 2013 students; therefore, I am revising and the blogging again our 2013
climb, our rafting trip, and biking down Mt. Chachani, on which I am hoping the
2014 students will also join me. </div>

We did it (2013). We successfully climbed the 19,339-foot mountain, but not without
problems. All of us have been seeing that mountain on a daily basis since the
beginning of August and some of the students also wanted to climb it (A few
others had been sick and were unable to go up with us.). We left for the
mountain Saturday around 8:30 AM in 3-4 x 4s. There were 13 of us plus three
German-Swiss on vacation who asked to join the group. Even though the mountain
looms in front of us, it took a while to drive on bad dirt roads to get to the
drop off point on the back side of the volcanic mountain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

had spent a bit of time researching which way up would be the best for me and
the students. I may have put myself first since I did not want to slow the
students down in our assault of Misti. Even though this route was a bit more
expensive (the 4 x 4s would have to take us to the other side of the mountain),
I chose the assault on Misti which would require that the students carry all
their gear, tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, snacks, and 5 liters of water
for 3 hours rather than 6 hours on the other routes up (Quechua Exploring gave
us a very good group rate.). The 4 x 4s dropped us off at 13,600 feet and we
needed to hike up to 15, 969 feet to base camp. I was glad that I made this
decision after watching a few students come into base camp quite exhausted.
When Misti last blew, it shot rocks, volcanic sand, and ash in avalanche
fashion on our side of the mountain. The volcanic sand that we hiked up with
our packs was like Michigan’s sand dune sand. We arrived at base camp at 3 PM,
a 2 ½ hour slog not 3 hours, and the students went to work immediately on
setting up their tents. The wind was fierce but still warm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

4 PM supper was ready, and we had supper early since the sun was on the other
side of the mountain, and it would get dark and cold here soon. We had one
excellent guide (Ignacio) and two very good assistants (Gaston and Angel—so we
had a guardian angel watching over us whom we appreciated). We had hot veggie
soup and tea plus spaghetti with tuna sauce (our two vegetarians got theirs
before the tuna was added). It was not surprising that everybody retired
(including the German-Swiss three) to their tents by 6 PM since the wind was
fierce and it got cold. Talking continued in the tents at least in the tents
near me.</span></div>

were woken up at 1 AM for coca tea, squeaky cheese, jam and bread. I had also
made two and one-half liters of coca tea (and took along coca leaves) at our
house for this trip, but I have no idea if this was why I was one of the few
(other than our guides and they too were using forms of coca) with no altitude
sickness. At 2 AM Sunday, we continued our assault up Misti. At base camp the
temperature was just above freezing, the sleeping bag and tent were so warm and
now my fingers and toes were beginning to go numb. Therefore, I had no desire
to recheck the temperature as we ascended (It was 3 degrees C as we began),
even though my temp gauge was attached to my backpack. Well, it was dark as well. </span></div>

was dismayed to discover that we would be hiking up the entire 6 hours on
“scree.” When Misti blew its top, it sent an avalanche of rock fragments, and
volcanic sand over the top—all of this is loose material. So, for six hours it
was switchback after switchback after switchback over this scree. Gaston gave
me a walking stick to help me keep my balance. However, until the sun came out,
my fingers were too numb to use it correctly. So, from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">15,969</b> feet to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">19,339</b>
(plus) feet this was what we hiked up on. It was funny, that at the beginning
of the hike up all of us, except for the German-Swiss, were chatting
constantly. But as the elevation increased and the amount of oxygen decreased,
our chatting ended. </span></div>

the night before, students were asking me for high-altitude sickness medication
(at the 15,969-foot base camp). Profe had told the students where to buy it,
but Profe was compassionate and gave me some in case the students had not
purchased any. Now, at our breaks going up (first after 1 ½ hours, then every
45 minutes), a student or two would be asking me for the medication—or, I was
resupplying last night’s requests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

did not have high-altitude head pains other than not getting enough oxygen into
my lungs. I was slowing down drastically and wondering whether or not I should
just quit. Students who noted my lethargy shouted down encouragement as did the
guide Ignacio (the two assistants were helping others behind me), but I was
just tired and a bit discouraged to acknowledge. </span></div>

six hours later, at 8 AM, the guide and several students made it to the top. I
dragged myself to the peak perhaps five minutes later and a few others dragged
in after me. We spent an hour on the top, resting, taking pictures of Arequipa,
the volcanic crater (still sending up plumbs of smoke), the exhausted students,
and then finally we took group shots. It took us just 90 minutes to return to
base camp because we slid down the scree. It took us less than an hour to go
from the base camp to the 4 x 4s since we were sliding down dunes of volcanic
sand to the vehicles. We had 3- 4 x 4s, but mine got stuck in the volcanic sand
when attempting to return to Arequipa so another one of our 4 x 4s towed us
out. </span></div>

all made it back and several students told me that all of them had thoughts
like mine, that he/she would not make it to the top. Plus, several of us had a
similar problem; as we tried to take a deep breathe, our throats hurt. We all
agreed that it was a great but exhausting experience (Misti is there), and that
they (and me) would not do it again. “But, please Neal, do set it up for next
year, except, no details of the scree.” In fact, Megan made the comment, “This
is the best miserable thing I’ve ever done.” Carmen DB mentioned, as did the
others, that this was worth the effort but never again. </span></div>

we were sliding down the scree on the descent, I saw the tents below and did
NOT realize that this was our base camp. It looked so barren, so like nothing

our camp? We camped in scree covered by a few rocks? However, we made it. We
did it; it was there and we did. Praise the Lord.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

five months for intensive language study. We do trips together and there is
much to experience here in southern Peru. I am encouraging them to have three
additional experiences, two of which the 2013 students and I did together last
year, and a third, biking down Mt Chachani. Therefore, I am reposting the three
blogs—one on biking [done], this one on rafting the Rio Chili, and in the near future climbing
Mt Misti.</span></div>

for us through Quechua Exploring on Arequipa’s Rio Chili (Cold). This is the
river that flows through Arequipa, which the students and I see on a daily
basis. As you will see from the pictures, the company provided us with wet
suits, boots, jackets, life vests, and helmets. We took 4 x 4s upstream to the
drop off point. The rafts were accompanied by kayaks as a safety factor, and
there were other kayakers on the river, one of whom slammed into rocks, fell out,
and had to be taken off the river. As it turned out, our raft saved his kayak
and paddle, which could have gone downstream to the Pacific Ocean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

even though most of my blogs and two volumes focus on Archaeological Adventures

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I have seen
(and photographed) these gold and silver objects in Spanish cathedrals and here
in Arequipa there are two of them. When I’ve seen these in Spain, I wondered if
the gold and silver came from the Aztec or Inca gold and silver artifacts.
Reading the dates of when they were made, the odds were that the answer
was—yes. This one pictured here is on display in Arequipa’s Monasterio de Santa
Catalina. Again, when I saw this one last year and now again this year, I
wondered if the gold and silver came from the Incas. In Arequipa’s Santa
Catalina’s Monastery and for the other example, the answer is no. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
A monstrance (more than 6-feet in
height) is a gold covered silver liturgical object with numerous religious
symbols. The silver came from the Caylloma silver mines discovered in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">1626</b> and even in 2013 the mine produced
2.1 million ozs of silver and 2,012 ozs of gold. The mine is located a bit more
than 100 miles northwest of Arequipa. However, here back in the 17<sup>th</sup>
century, the Spanish system of forced labor was used at the mines and llamas
were used to transport. The abundance of silver led the development of the
silversmith craft and making of the monstrance and other objects used in the
Catholic churches. This one and the monstrance at the St. Teresa Monastery were
crafted by master silversmith Pedro Jose Zegarra. It was presented to the
monastery in 1852. Some of the silver and the gold for the gold plate came from
the older monstrance, the main altar, old ornaments, and contributions from lay
people and nuns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

group of students is here in Arequipa for five months for intensive language
study. We do a lot together and there is much to experience here in southern
Peru. I am encouraging them to do three additional experiences, two of which we
did together last year, but here is a third, biking down Mt Chachani.
Therefore, I have revised this one on biking since I biked Chachani in July
again, and I plan to repost rafting the Rio Chili, and climbing Misti.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Arequipa was to bike down Mt Chachani. I finally got the call late Monday
afternoon that a group was going up Tuesday morning. Could I join them? I said,
yes, and I walked down to their office to pay them and to ask questions. </span></div>

AM, they came early to pick me up. I was ready for the experience. It was mostly
a sunny day. I have my own bike, so they fastened it to the roof rack and off
we went in the direction of Chachani. We live at about 8000 feet, and unless
you are heading into town, the road goes up and up and up. We went along the
ridge of the canyon with the Rio Chili below, which was pretty. Soon we reached
the level of the Pueblos Jovenes. People from miles away have come to Arequipa
to better their lives but have no money to rent a house or an apartment, so
they build a small “house” with whatever material is available on the
mountainside. As we continue climbing, we reach the area where the electricity
ends, but the little houses continue to march up the mountain. Finally, we
reach the elevation where all habitation ends and it is just the scrub brush
and us. The switchbacks continue and finally end at the elevation of 15,737

is no snow on Misti and no snow at our level, but above us, the multiple peaks
of Chachani do have snow. We get our bikes off the roof of our Jeep, we snack
and drink water, put on elbow and knee pads in case we fall, and finally we
begin the ride. The group takes off leaving me behind in the loose volcanic
dust. I do not appreciate my wheels swaying in the loose dust and I went poco-poco
(slow-slow). The group waits for me at the bottom of this loose dust and then I
follow the guide. </span></div>

of the ride down was on rocks so it was a very jarring ride. I have been back
now for four hours, and my back is beginning to ache. You are unable to look
around as you ride since you might hit a boulder and utilize the pads. But we
did stop on occasion to regroup, to take pictures, or to eat a snack. There
were several flat tires, but not on my personal bike, so I took off to stay
ahead. It was a beautiful 30-mile ride from 15,737 feet back to my place at around
8000 feet. Would I do it again? Yes, but it would be more fun with family and
friends. </span></div>

and one-half weeks from now (Nov 2013), I plan to climb Mt Misti (just under 20,000 feet)
with a dozen of the Calvin students. This too was one of my goals. This too
should be a special treat. First though, in the near future we leave for Cuzco
and Machu Picchu with the students. After this, we conquer Misti, Lord Willing
(Ojala) on November 16 and 17, 2013. And we did!</span></div>
