Colombia, San Agustin, Parque Arqueologico de San Agustin or the San Agustin Archaeological Park has many monolithic statues, sarcophagi and tobs. These were made to serve as a link between the living and the dead. The statues from vulcanic rock are 20 cm to 7 meters in size, carved with anthropomorphic figures representing a pantheon of gods and creatures to frighten. Also snakes, frogs and birds are used as figures. Photo: A midwife with a baby in the middle and to guards for protection with 9 lines carved on the left guard and 10 line on the works of art display the creativity and imagination of a northern Andean culture that flourished from the 1st to the 8th century.
