The lost Pyramids of Caral are older than suspected, construction began in 3000 B.C (300-400 years before the people of Kemet, Egypt began the Pyramid of Djoser). These cities flourished peacefully for more than 1,200 years. Something very different from all other civilizations is that this people lived without fears, in peace. No traces of warfare have been found, a finding that had to make archaeologists in the world to re-invent their thinking and theories about why tribal people built and moved into large cities.





The Andean Center for Archaeological Research, CIARA, has made an extraordinary discovery in the Huaca Rosada Urban Center, located in the district of Ventanilla, Callao and which dates from 4500 years.The pyramid Huaca Pink belongs to the architectural tradition of Caral , which shows that the nation state of Caral is one of the oldest civilizations to be discovered. Caral was located in the Peruvian Barrranca provinces covering Huaura, Huaral, Lima, Callao, Huarmey and Casma, as well as the Central Coast area and north-central Peru and influencing the Midwest of our country.

This finding confirms that Peru is the oldest civilization in America and one of the four oldest high cultures of the world, according to historian Victor Colan Ormeño as we can see in the table below:

3.Egypt 3000 BC

4.China 3000 BC

5.India 2600 BC

6.Crete 2000 BC

Moreover, Peru is one of the two oldest agricultural civilizations of the world, as we seen in the following table: 2.Perú 3200 BC3.Egypt 3000 BC4.China 3000 BC5.India 2600 BC6.Crete 2000 BC7.México 1200 BCMoreover, Peru is one of the two oldest agricultural civilizations of the world, as we seen in the following table: WORLD FIRST agricultural civilizations.

Furthermore, we note that Caral, Peru was the most important city of the third millennium BC, in Peru and America and the first capital of the nation state of our country. It is also one of the first cities in the world as we can see in the table below: OLD TOWN COUNTRY 1. 3200 BC Uruk Iraq

This new reality is the result of sacrifice and exemplary work of Peruvian and foreign archaeologists including Ruth Shady Solis, Robert Feldman, Moseley, Thomas Pozorski, Richard Burger, Carlos Williams, Paul Kosok, Friedrich Engel, Roxana Gomez Cesar Cornejo, Alex Zuniga, Alejandro Chu, Alberto Bueno, Luis Guillermo Lumbreras, among others.

The fame of Caral as the oldest pyramid complex might be shortlived, accoring to Philip Coppens . He says, ”Archaeologists have found a 5,500-year-old ceremonial plaza at Sechin Bajo, in Casma, 229 miles north of Lima, the capital.”

Sechin Bajo is an ancient stone plaza in Casma in the Andes foothills, 330 kilometers (210 mi) northwest of Lima, Peru

Detail from Sechin Bajo

The structure is one of the oldest surviving man-made buildings ever discovered in the Americas, dating to about 3500BC based on carbon dating. It may be one of the oldest buildings in the world.

The discovery was made by a team of the Latin American Institute at the Freie University in Berlin, under the auspices of Prof. Dr. Peter Fuchs. It contained a platform pyramid that was originally possibly up to 100 metres tall. Carbon dating shows it is one of the oldest structures ever found in the Americas.

Sechin Bajo

Nearly 2,000 years later, another structure measuring 180 by 120 metres was added onto it. The discovery at Sechin Bajo means this pyramid complex is now even older than Caral.” See more f;rom Pilip Coppen here
