Archaeologists in Peru have made an exciting discovery at the Chavin de Huantar archaeological site.
They have uncovered a sealed corridor that has been named “the condor’s passageway,” believed to lead to other chambers within the ancient temple complex of the Chavin culture, which dates back 3,000 years.
The Chavin de Huantar site, located approximately 190 miles (306 km) northeast of Lima, was a significant center for the Chavin culture between 1,500-550 B.C.
Chavín de Huantar is one of the oldest and best-known pre-Columbian sites, predating the rise of the Inca Empire by more than 2,000 years.
Known for their advanced artistry featuring bird and feline depictions, the Chavin were among the earliest sedentary farming communities in the Peruvian Andes, existing over 2,000 years before the Inca Empire.
In recognition of its cultural importance, Chavín de Huantar was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.
