About Sacred City of Caral-Supe

In a dry valley north of Lima, Caral is astonishing: a monumental city of earthen pyramids, plazas and sunken circular courts built some 5,000 years ago, making it the oldest known urban centre in the Americas — contemporary with ancient Egypt. Peaceful and little-visited, its scale and antiquity are humbling.
