The Sacred City of Caral, where the oldest civilization in America lived
danhimira 2022. 12. 27. 05:18This archaeological site is located in the Supe valley, in the Barranca province, Lima region. The Sacred City of Caral is the most prominent manifestation of the Caral Civilization, the oldest in America, due to its 5,000 years old (3000 - 1900 BC), monumental architecture and development achieved by the society that built it.
Cultural relevance
The research work in the Sacred City of Caral, carried out since 1994 by the archaeologist Ruth Shady Solís, director of the Caral Archaeological Zone (ZAC), intensified, managing to identify, between the Supe and Huaura valley, 25 settlements that they would have made up the Caral Civilization. The archaeological site occupies an approximate space of 68 hectares and is made up of a nuclear zone with 32 public buildings and several residential complexes, and two peripheral areas: one of them borders the Supe valley.
Architectural value
The Sacred City draws attention for the monumentality of its pyramidal buildings, such as the Greater Pyramid Building, which is more than 29 meters high, occupies more than 25 square meters and has a sunken circular plaza.
Likewise, in all the construction deposits they put "shicras", bags made of vegetable fiber filled with stones of different sizes, which gave earthquake resistance to all their buildings. Large stones were placed vertically on the walls of the main façade, at the corners of the platforms, and on the stairs of the circular plaza.
