1. Read the passage given below. Ay an altitude of some 1800 m in the northem Andes in South America is one of most important afchaeological finds--the Valley of Statues. So far 500 statues scattered across 20 sides have been discovered here. The river Magdalena flows through the Valley and statues are found on densely forested slopes formed by the river. Amid profuse deep green vegetation, abundant waterfalls and hosts of orchids, lie crudely carved stone figures of man, animals and gods. All the figures carry a rather stern look. These figures are the mysterious remains of a lost culture about which nothing can be said with certainty. The Valley of Statues was discovered by a Spanish monk in the mid eighteenth century. So far archaeologists have failed to agree on the statues date of origin'. some trace their origin to 6th century B. C while others suggest that they were erected much later. Many statues are placed next to underground tombs. Probably the Valley was a ceremonial centre where the dead were burred after elaborate funeral rights. Some of the statues have been identified as sacred animals such as the jaguar, the frog and the eagle. The statues vary in height, the largest being about 7 m tall. While there may be no agreement on the origin of the statues, a close study of their facial expressions suggests that human beings have not changed much with respect to their basic beliefs in the supreme power, in the worship of powerful god and goddess, in life after death, etc. And feelings of love hatred, joy, grief, anger, contentment, dejection, fulfilment moved the primitive man with the same intensity as is felt by the modern man. It is the sameness of feelings that links the past with the present. A.
