Lake Titicaca

Lake Titicaca lies on the border of Peru and Bolivia. The lake is known for its still and brightly reflective waters. Often called the ‘highest navigatable lake’, the Lake Titicaca has a surface elevation of 3812 meters. Spread across an area of 58,000 square km which makes it the largest lake in South America, although the claim of the highest navigatable lake is usually regarding the commercial craft that surfaces on it.

Myths And Legends

Not only is it the highest navigatable lake but is also famous for myths and legends related to it. The lake is also known for its natural beauty and for its mysterious nature. Due to its beauty, the Andeans call it the birthplace of the Sun. But no one would have fathomed the mystery this lake hid inside it.

But who in the seven hells would have thought that an amateur diver is going to find something that is going to change the perception of people towards that lake!

An Unexpected Finding

It was in the late 1970s, 1977 to be precise when an amateur diver discovered something that he did not expect to. While exploring the lake the diver came across an amazing reef in the Lake Titicaca by the Island of Sun. But when he took a closer look, he did not expect that he was going to stumble across something that mysterious.

Shocked!

Upon inspection of the supposed to be a reef, the diver found that it was never a reef, to begin with. Instead, he found out that what he thought was thinking of as a reef was a bunch of artifacts. Everyone thought of them to be some normal artifacts but they had no idea how the next few events were going to unfold the mysteries that were related to those artifacts.
