Mysterious Megalithic Quenuani Near Lake Titicaca In Peru: Who Made It?

So here we are. My first view of the site of Kenuwani. I've seen photographs of it for about 10 years, but nobody I knew, including experts in the Cusco area and in Bolivia, had any idea where it was or that it even existed. In fact, when we were within a mile of it, our friend Gustavo, who is our Bolivian tour guide, asked a local policeman in the police station where Kenuwani was, and he had absolutely no idea. Meanwhile, the bus was sitting parked near the police station, and when I looked out the right hand side of the bus, in the distance, I saw it. So we immediately drove there, and luckily there is a road that takes us to this location. And as you can see, it looks quite a bit like some kind of quarry. I originally thought that it may be the quarry for Puma Punku and Tiwanaku in Bolivia, which are quite close by, but the stone, though it's the same color, and the stone for Puma Punku does come from this area, it isn't the right consistency. This is, in fact, compressed and hardened volcanic ash, whereas the material of Tiwanaku and Puma Punku are andesite, which is much denser and is quite magnetic. The location of that quarry is likely within five miles of Kenuwani, so that will have to take a future exploration to find out. Now, of course, the very little literature that's available about Kenuwani is that it was an Inca work. However, there's no actual proof of that, but it's unknown as to what culture could have made it. It is possible that it was done by the Tiwanaku culture, since they were a very extensive and large culture of the area, but again, it's not known for sure. What I did find, though, are many, many staircases, some curved, some straight, what appear to be benches. The whole site seems to face towards the Tiwanaku and Puma Punku area, but whether or not these two sites are connected directly is unknown. You can see we're right at the edge of Lake Titicaca, and I'm proceeding down, again, one of the staircases. The stone is relatively soft, as you've seen the wear and tear based on people walking up and down it, but it is definitely not a known tourist location. Was it an ancient stadium? Unknown. Was it a quarry? Again, unknown. We'll have to go back several times to see what else we can find out about it, but curiously, there are tool marks, and from what I can see, the tool marks were done by steel tools, not bronze ones, because the steel left residue, like pointed chisels seem to have been used to create this. Now, steel didn't appear in Peru until the time of the Spanish in the 16th century, but it's unlikely that the Spanish created this either. Truly, one of those enigmas that I've waited long to see, and finally, I was able to find it and document it here for you. It will be in all of our future major tours of the Lake Titicaca area. Very strange place, but it's not alone. It's likely that there are other sites in this area and possibly even in the lake itself. That is what we are going to search for in the and if you check it out on Google Earth, you can see that there seem to be stone terraces in the lake itself, right next to this location.
