Bolivia is full of wonderful og mysterious archaeological sites. In the late afternoon July 2002, I was determinded to explore one of Bolivia`s greatest wonders near Puno, the Sillustani. Inspired from exploring another prehistoric site on my tour called Tiwanaku, I went out in the Bolivian highland and arrived just in time to experience the sunset. It gave the mysterious site an even more strange atmosphere. Viewing the ruines from the old Chullpas culture, with the clear blue Lake Umayo in the background, was an unforgettable moment that really turned me on.

What is hiding below the surface of Lake Titicaca? The AKAKOR team has searched in this expedition for traces after the dawn of civilization in the Andes. They wanted to prove the Akakor theory about that Lake Titicaca for 5,000 and 8,000 years ago was shallower, and also in some areas was dry and habitable. Already on an expedition in 2000 the AKAKOR team made some discoveries backing up their theory. Due to the more incredible finds the history has to be rewritten about pre-Incas civilizations.

Another question is the preservers of the Dead Sea Scrolls hiding the truth about the content because some parts of it are different from the Bible? And will there be more to find on the shores along the Dead Sea?
