[ link to www.andina.com.pe] Marine fossils found in southern Peru Chivay, Dec. 19 (ANDINA). Marine fossils were found 4,000 meters above sea level in the province of Caylloma, in Peru’s southern region of Arequipa, Mayor Elmer Caceres said. Forty fossils, such as winkles, shells, limpets and turtle shells were found. Caceres urged Arequipa's Regional Directorate to do some research in the area to determine scientifically the fossils' age. The exact location has not been announced yet to prevent looting. The fossils, which were discovered by a group of farmers from Caylloma, remain in the town hall and authorities expect to find a museum to display these pieces. (END) RMC/JOT/RZZ/MOC Once the ages of the fossils is known, we can then know that the moutains were under the sea at that time Plenty of marine fossils were also found in the area of Tiahuanaco, the ancien city in the vicinity of lake Titicaca. This shows the city was once situated at a sea border and must be much, much older than mainstream science wants to admit (archaeologists are often at odds with historians). Edmund Kiss, an archaeologist during the Third Reich era, researched about Tiahuanaco and wrote a book about the ancient history of our planet. The altiplano (between the two Andes ranges (east and Pacific) is a perfectly flat plain which has been left after the water drained away during the course of likely millennia. It is surrounded by the peaks of the Andes and at its perimeter, the beach line of the ancient sea is still visible (according to Edmund Kiss).
