I only knew 2 them (from my University Pre-Columbian Art History Class way back when): Teotihuacan and Puma Punku.
Thanks for sharing...I learn so much. I really love your blog.
Akrotiri (on the island of Santorini) ain't half bad. Constructed somewhere before 2500 BC; destroyed u a volcanic eruption around 1700 BC. Still in good enough shape to be a major tourist attraction.
