Detail of rock paintings on left hand panel at Waylla Ph’uyu site, thought to show the indigenous soldiers, near Yaricoa Alto, La Paz Department, Bolivia
The unusual rock art site at Waylla Ph’uyu is thought to show a battle between indigenous and Spanish / colonial armies. It most likely refers to the indigenous uprisings of 1781-2, but could also possibly be of a later rebellion in the 19th century Republican period. The site consists of 2 main panels with groups of human and animal figures facing each other. This image shows part of the left hand panel, thought to be the indigenous rebels (both on horseback and on foot). The figures on horseback appear to be holding slings (hondas), which were commonly used on the altiplano then and still are sometimes today. I have more detail images of this site, please message if you are interested in seeing more!
