La Representación de los Seres Voladores en tejidos ceremoniales Tiwanaku

A transdisciplinary analysis reveals that the Tiwanaku culture's depiction of 'flying beings' in ceremonial textiles, ceramic rituals, and litho-sculptures symbolized shamans in a trance state, mediating between humans and deities. These anthropo-zoomorphic figures, combining attributes of birds, felinos, cervids, and llamas, were believed to embody magical-religious experiences facilitated by psychoactive substances. The study highlights the sacred value attributed to these representations through precise artistic-sacred norms, demonstrating their role in Tiwanaku's worldview and societal structure.
