Stone Heads - Tiahuanaco
Were these heads carved on earlier protuberances of the wall
by people who settled in the abandoned city, and called it their own?
Whether they are the likenesses of their ancestors, elders or priests
perhaps they are also spiritual sentinels, placed there to protect them,
should the gods of the sky wish to return, one day, to reclaim their outpost.
