5000-Year-Old Sacred City of Caral is the Oldest Civilization in the Americas

The sacred city of Caral is a 5000-year-old archaeological site on a desert terrace in Lima, Peru. Dating back to the Late Archaic Period of the Central Andes, the site is the oldest urban center of civilization in the Americas. Additionally, the Caral culture is 1500 years earlier than the Olmec civilization, the first complex Mesoamerican society. The site has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009.
