There is a lot missing in this article. In terms of Bolivian research, what about Arturo Poznansky and, perhaps more importantly in terms of ceremonial architecture, Carlos Ponce Sangines? In terms of foreign research, where is Wendell Bennett? Also, scholars are recently beginning to question some of Kolata's conclutions. Here we need to decenter our understanding from Kolata, not discuss him more. What about the recent scholarship of Juan Albarracin-Jordan, etc? Also, can anybody point me towards a source where they discuss the reconstruction of Kalasasaya? I have heard much about its flawed/biased reconstruction, but have yet to see a source. Thanks much!

An interesting and potentially useful paper about Arthur Posnansky that includes discussion about his research at Tiwanaku is:

Marsh, E.J., 2019. Arthur Posnansky, the Czar of Tiwanaku Archaeology. Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, 29(1), p.1. DOI: http://doi.org/10.5334/bha-605

Hi, there is a back and forth discussion about various aspects of the Tiwanaku Site occurring in the talk section of the article about Arthur Posnansky. Commentary with numerous links to web pages and citations to reliable references have been posted. Paul H. (talk) 17:03, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article says some of the stonework at the site suggests (without citation) "the existence of aliens" - I assume that's not really Wikipedia approved language? 64.92.51.254 (talk) 23:07, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
