The main objection against Alcobaza seems to be that he speaks of the Lake as bathing one side of the buildings or Courts. It would lead to suppose that they stood in the vicinity of Puma-puncu. The seated figures of which Alcobaza speaks are not inventions of his, since the two statues now in front of the church of Tiahuanaco represent squatting Indians.
