Sun Gate

 

The most hidden and intriguing monument of Tiahuanako (Tiwanaku), carved from a single 10-ton piece of Rock, 3 m. tall, 3.75 m. the nearest Is The Sun Gate.

At the top, 48 figures are lined up around a God flying in the middle. There are crowned Cougars , vultures, winged creatures, people and shapes who kneel before God or turn their backs on him and walk away. The identity of the God found in the Middle Place is not known with certainty. The Sun God may be the Creator God Viracocha (Virakosha). According to ancient Inca legends, gods lived here before people with an advanced civilization settled here. Despite all these explanations, Posnansky can't say who built this place. Who knows, maybe we need to sit down and rewrite history. Despite its antiquated appearance, the stalagmite, with its windows and corners, seems to have been made with modern tools. Even today, the notches that are difficult to make on such a Hard Rock were made on this stalagmite with great skill.

The Sun Gate consists of a single piece of hard andesite. Houses, temples and other structures were also built with this type of rock.The Sun Gate has a weight of about 10 to 15 tons. According to archaeologists, the ancient ruins of Tiahuanaco at an altitude of 4000 meters in the Anden region of Bolivia were built by the Anden Indians 2000-3000 years ago! Historians, on the other hand, laugh at this claim and suggest that according to Aymara historical records, these ruins were founded by the gods. The 48 Figures on the” gate of the Sun " are interpreted as a calendar. In the relief paintings on the door, stylized machines, astronomers dressed in special dresses, snake-shaped rockets with feedback and calendars of the planets Venus and Merih were processed. Historians note that the city of Tiahuanaco, set at an altitude of 4,000 meters, was left to the Aymara Indians after it was built by the gods. The reason historians make this claim, mixed with a joke, is that they do not have information about how the city was formed. It is believed that 48 statues located at the gate of the sun were used as calendars. Traditional commentators have stated that the gate of the sun symbolizes a cosmogonic system based on Mythos. The gate may be a calendar indicating the scientific formation of the tiahuanako civilization. It may even be the oldest calendar in the world. The God motif in the middle of the door is repeated in 11 different forms, that is, it shows the movements of the sun in a year, the twelve moons. However, it is not just the sun, but the planet Venus within an extremely complex system. The three calendar stones that stand side by side have three separate calendar accounts. The first calendar is the Holy Year account. In this, one year is calculated as 260 days. In the second stone, the calendar of the Solar year was processed and the year was calculated as 365.2422 days. The calendar in the third Stone shows the Year of Venus. Here a year is shown as 225 days. In the reliefs showing the state of the sky 27 thousand years ago, the Moon is not there, although all the planets are processed. Dr. Bellamy and Dr. According to Allan, the moon appears in the solar Gate symbols at a time between 11,500 and 13,000 years in Earth's orbit. According to calculations in the calendar, the moon's rotation around the earth 13,000 years ago was 425 rounds per year. Today, the number of such tours is 365.

The stone calendar carved into the Sun Gate is divided into four sections. Each episode shows the four seasons that are Earthly in astronomical terms, and each of these four episodes is divided into 3 to show the 12 months of the year. Tiahuanako astronomers, who counted the year as 290 days, also counted the months from 24 days, while they showed in detail the state of the moon for each day. Although modern astronomers have known since time immemorial that the apparent motion of the Moon is not its true motion, even today most of our calendars show only the apparent motion of the Moon. The figure of God, or creator Viracocha, carved on the threshold between the two columns, is surrounded by reliefs featuring small figures running to God. It is believed that this parade style, which is common in South America, originated here. The Kalasasaya platform is high and wide, entered from a sunken courtyard. It is believed that several wide streets intersect here. Large stone blocks meet the walls of this platform. Some are thought to have inspired Teotihuacan workers in Mexico. On the Kalasasaya platform there are one-piece stone sculptures with large eyes. The stone Warriors in Tula, Mexico, and the similarity between them are notable.

In his book “the planet without time”, Peter Kolosimo focuses on the age of the gate of the Sun. In his book, he notes that anthropologist and engineer Arthur Posnansky conducted detailed research on this region. Accordingly, the residential area has been rebuilt many times at various times. Last time 16,000 years ago. Posnansky believes the solar gate is 18,000 years old.
