The Sacred City of Caral-Supe in Peru
Like many of the other wonders UNESCO added in 2009, the Scared City of Carnal-Supe is far from new. In fact, it is the oldest center of civilization in the Americas and third-oldest civilization in the world. With six immense pyramids, surviving mud sculptures and ceremonial stages, continuing excavations of Caral-Supe are a window into lives lived so long ago.
