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

Description:

Archaeologists have discovered a 3,500-year-old city named Peñico in northern Peru’s Barranca province, believed to be a major trading hub linking Pacific coast, Andes, and Amazon communities. Founded between 1800-1500 BC, Peñico offers new insights into the fate of the Americas’ oldest civilization, Caral. The site features 18 structures, including temples and homes, with artifacts like clay sculptures and seashell necklaces, the BBC has reported. Peñico’s strategic location suggests it was a continuation of Caral society, which thrived 5,000 years ago but declined due to climate change. read more: 👍 Like this video to explore incredible archaeological discoveries from around the world. 💬 Comment below—what fascinates you most about Peru’s ancient civilizations? 🔗 Share this video to help others learn about these remarkable finds and ancient trade networks 💰 Support the channel by donating via the YouTube Thanks button—your help keeps history alive 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe for more news on archaeology, history, and culture Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
