Description

Archeologists in Peru have unearthed a 4,000-year-old temple on the country's northern coast, making it one of the oldest discoveries of its kind in the Americas. Archeologist Walter Alva, discoverer of the Tombs of the Lords of Sipan, said the temple is located inside a larger complex in the Lambayeque Valley, 760 kilometres north of Lima, near the city of Chiclayo. The temple, named Ventarron by the team of scientists that uncovered it, includes murals and a staircase that leads up to an altar, likely used for fire worship. Ventarron is unique because of its plethora of murals as well as its construction methods and design. Excavations are going on and visits to the site are not yet allowed. We shall keep you informed of new developments on this.
