IMO, we'll eventually have some (big) surprises in this region.

The lines on the face of the figure indicate ceremonial disfiguring. It would have been intereting to see the ear plugs. It sure is in great condition.

And the difference between the looting Spaniards or the depleting, unscrupulous raiders of Tiwanaku treasures and the archeologists is?

Vintage Skulls"The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas."
"Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans."

The corpse was found in a niche carved inside the 15-yard-high (15-metre-high) Akapana pyramid... Actually, 15 yards is 13.7 meters. Or, 15 meters is 16.4 yards. Which is it? I doubt a Bolivian archeologist would use yards in his description.
Then again, it is Reuters reporting. Anything from them within 10 per cent of the truth should be celebrated.

Obviously signs of an ancient and highly intelligent form of life.
And look at the size of that nose. Take a lot of marching powder to fill that bad-boy up.
