Archaeologists unveil 3,500-year-old city in Peru

Archaeologists have uncovered a 3,500-year-old city named Peñico in Peru's Barranca province, shedding light on the Caral civilization, the oldest in the Americas. The city served as a key trading hub connecting early Pacific coast communities with those living in the Andes mountains and Amazon basin. The discovery, led by archaeologist Dr. Ruth Shady, offers insights into the fate of Caral after it was impacted by climate change and highlights Peru's rich history of significant archaeological finds like Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines.
