In the Andes Mountains of Central Peru, a team of researchers, led by Dr. Robert M. Schoch, has uncovered mysterious statues at 12,500 feet. The figures, which include recognizable animals and icons from around the world, have puzzled scientists. The team's examination of the statues suggests that they may have been created by an unknown ancient civilization, rather than simply being the result of erosion. The discovery of lichen on the rock surfaces, which takes thousands of years to accumulate, adds to the mystery, implying that a sophisticated culture may have left its mark on Markawasi in the distant past.
