CARAL , THE OLDEST CIVILIZATION IN AMERICA

DESCRIPTION:

Caral, located 182kms north of Lima, is an ancient site approximately 5000 years old! This scientifically proven fact has given Caral the title of “The oldest civilization in America” as well as “The Sacred city” since there were many fireplaces found in different sections excavated. These “stoves” are considered signs of rituals performed not only in temples but also in people´s shelters! According to archaeologists, food and other objetcs were burned as offerings which indicates the first examples of using religion as a confirmation of the new state and central government.
