The #Lost #Pyramids of #Tucume, #Peru

One of the #250 #pyramids #built by an #unknown #culture. Legend tells that in ancient times, a great float of balsa rafts arrived at the beaches of the existing San José cove. Formed by a brilliant cortege of nine foreign warriors, this float was led by a man of great talent and courage, named #Naymlap, the mythical founder of the first northwest civilization.

The pyramids complex at Caral was built a millennium after Sumer in Mesopotamia and contemporaneous with the building of the Egyptian Pyramids. Caral predates the Olmec culture by two millennia and is also only one of six places in the ancient world where civilization originated separately. Meaning there was no prior contact and all these civilizations just happened to rise up out of nowhere on their own.
