"The 1,500-year-old Pumapunku temple in western Bolivia is considered a crowning achievement of Andean architecture, yet no one knows what the original structure actually looked like. Until now.

Archaeologists have studied the site for over 150 years, but it wasn't immediately obvious how all the broken and scattered pieces belonged together.
