The PERUVIAN impact---a closer look.

The recent asteroid impact in Peru, near Lake Titicaca had me thinking about the area moreso than the incident. I've read plenty of things on Lake Titicaca, mostly as an archaeology enthusiast, and what I have found, I feel can add to the folklore of the area and can perhaps explain why such an impact is getting so much press, as well as a conspiratorial reception from certain people.
