- 1) Aborigeno: "who traveled through the Altiplano with the apparent intent of destroying all the objects, inscriptions and sculptures which had any connection with the ancient cult and religious beliefs of the aborigines" | "It is from a terra cotta depicting the head of a priest... Even today one can see this form of nose among the aborigines of the Kholla race" | Arcaico: "this building belongs chronologically to the building in the interior of Kalasasaya described in the previous chapter" | "Kalasasaya, in the archaic Aymara tongue, means 'standing stones' and this is the first impression that one gets upon observing the ruins of this immense, thick wall" | Elementare: "These are the product of a very inferior period of culture, in which the most elementary ideas of art were unknown. The pillars of Tihuanacu are carefully worked rock, having formed in past times an integral part of the gigantic walls" | Etnico: "He can be seen on two different animals together, and on the edge of the piece of ceramic work... at present in the Ethnographic Museum of Berlin, Bolivar Section" | "Also in Chap. IV there was a discussion of ethnic customs and there was recorded the probable end of this civilization doubtless brought about by a glaciation" | Folklorico: "Eurasia, for example, recalls the dragons of folkloric tradition which are nothing more than the recollection of the existence of the saurians" | "Indians of the Altiplano a folkloric tradition which attributes the power of soothsaying... based on folkloric recollection of the existence of an animal which in remote times lived on the Altiplano" | Indigeno: "The great temple of the sun, called by the indigenous populace, 'Kalasasaya,' and by those of Spanish speech, 'Gran Templo.' The panoramic plate, Pl. V, Fig. b, which shows the location of this work in the valley of Tihuanacu" | Nativo: "The natives of the country, after the Conquest, became dissolute and indolent and would not have taken the trouble to transport this monument from a great distance" | "which was used by the natives of Tihuanacu as a means for increasing artificially the height of the hill of Akapana" | Naturale: "revealing with great precision how these prehistoric peoples translated their ideas by means of ideograms. Such a way of thinking is the most natural thing among primitive peoples" | "it is natural to presume that the prehistoric inhabitant of the Altiplano had an idea that the earth began and ended at some point" | Popolare: "judging not only by their bad state of preservation and the discoloration which their rocky material... the images of men and animals became popular" | "But the very vague popular tradition has it that they were located at the eastern entrance of the temple of the First Period" | Precolombiano: "as far as Arizona, in the stages of pre-Columbian culture of the Moqui Indians" | "found it scattered through South America, through Central America, in Mexico... in pre-Columbian ornamentation and in that of the aborigines of the United States of North America" | Preistorico: "forever depriving American historical science of irrefutable prehistoric documents which would have shed a clear light in the investigations related to this subject" | "It is natural to presume that the prehistoric inhabitant of the Altiplano had an idea that the earth began and ended at some point" | Primitivo: "genesis of ornamental ideographic writing. Such a way of thinking is the most natural thing among primitive peoples" | "The rocky material of the primitive period which is made up of soft, red sandstone, is a stratified material of sedimentary origin" | "most ancient evidence of the artistic awakening of primitive man in America" | Primordiale: "There are also other variations of these signs, which originally express this idea in all its reality but in combination with anthropomorphic and zoomorphic ideographs" | "En las mejores colecciones sudamericanas... expresan primordialmente esta idea en toda su realidad" | Totemico: "one may each have its own different meaning. However, all of them coincide in the ideas of hierarchy... as will be seen later on, an expression of hierarchy and a totem" | "played a more or less important rôle in the theogonies and in the zoolatric and totemic customs of Tihuanacu" | Tradizionale: "A tradition of the present Indians tells of an animal hachalakko ('huge snake') which lives in the interior of the earth" | "Indians of the Altiplano a folkloric tradition which attributes the power of soothsaying to the 'Sojtallos' ('men with six fingers')"
