Description

For generations, the mounds in Peru's Supe Valley were thought to be nothing more than natural hills. But underneath the sand lay the oldest city in the Americas. Caral changed everything we knew about the timeline of civilization. Archaeologist Ruth Shady fought to prove that this site was a massive, organized city with pyramids and plazas, built thousands of years before the Inca Empire. Discover the story of how this ancient center was forgotten and the relentless work that brought it back to light. If you love history that rewrites the textbooks, this one is for you.
