ARCHEOLOGY
Colombia is an ideal place to visit the remote past before the Spanish Conquerors arrived. The cultural history of the country is largely the result of its great pre-Hispanic past. Over twelve cultures inhabited list territory that left vestiges of a surprising level of development. Towns and stone paths, enigmatic statues, burial urns and impressive gold and potter objects teach the visitor an inheritance of beliefs and ways of life. In the southern foothills of the country the culture of San Agustin, developed several millennia before the discovery of America, left monumental statues and burial temples scalped in volcanic rock as vestiges of their rites. Tierradentro, also situated in a large 500 square kilometer archeological area, large underground tombs are preserved and funeral urns are lodged. These tombs symbolize the magical-religious systems that governed the lives of the Paez Indians. The Tayrona culture is one of the most advanced of pre-Hispanic times which developed in the foothills of the Santa Marta Sierra Nevada. Cobbled paths, bridges, canals, tiled terraces, and ceramics reflect the high level of development achieved by the vanished culture. The Lost City is a large pre-Hispanic city that can only be reached by foot and requires a special visitors permit issued by the INDERENA and ICAN, government agencies dedicated to the preservation of this unique archeological site. |
