3000-Year-Old Pyramid and Geoglyph Unearthed at Peru's Caral Site

Peru's Ministry of Culture announced the discovery of a pyramid and a large geoglyph at the Caral archaeological site. Hidden beneath vegetation, the pyramid features at least three overlapping platforms and characteristic Caral architectural elements like vertical stones and a central staircase. A nearby geoglyph depicting a profile head, reminiscent of the Sechín culture, suggests early cultural exchange between Caral and other Andean civilizations. This discovery enhances understanding of Caral's urban planning and offers new tourism potential, further illustrating the complexity and peaceful development of the oldest civilization in the Americas.
