Near Lake Titicaca at high elevation, a mysterious T-shaped stone doorway called Aramu Muru (the "Gate of the Gods") is carved into a cliff face. The overall structure measures roughly 23 feet square, with a T-shaped alcove about 6 feet 6 inches tall—large enough for a person to stand in. Linked to pre-Inca traditions, yet the carving style doesn't match known methods—and no tools, pottery, or bones have ever been found.
