Pyramid structure discovered near Caral Peru
Archaeologists discover a pyramidal structure and geoglyph in Chupacigarro, near Caral, expanding the understanding of Andean civilization.
According to an announcement by Peru’s Ministry of Culture, the find consists of a pyramidal structure uncovered by the Caral Archaeological Zone under the direction of renowned archaeologist Ruth Shady. Next to the pyramid, archaeologists discovered a large geoglyph (62.1 by 30.3 meters) depicting a profile head in the distinctive style of the Sechín culture from Peru’s northern coast. This geoglyph discovery is particularly significant as it establishes a connection between Caral and other ancient Andean civilizations, suggesting cultural and symbolic exchanges much earlier than previously believed.
