By the end of the 1880s, the village had grown up around a railway station built at an altitude of almost 3,700 meters for the transport of minerals. The desert had taken over the abandoned buildings, and the village looked almost dead. However, first impressions were deceiving, as the tracks were still in use. The village had a shop and a bar, and the houses were inhabited. There was even an election advertisement painted on the wall.

HUMAN TIME – A journey to the origins of stories

The earliest signs of human activity are probably stone tools, arrowheads, and clothing made from leather and animal and plant fibers. The oldest structures, on the other hand, are simple shelters or monuments to the sun, ancestors, or gods. Every upright stone, mound, and wall tells us about the people who lived thousands of years before us, their adversities, and their hopes. They are not just ruins, but fragments of a shared story.
