Don’t “archeologists” imagine that it had a wooden roof?

Sort of, “cerimonial” coming in out of the rain.

I’m surprised they didn’t say it was a ‘calendar’.................

When I saw the title I thought it said

Ancient megalithic pizza found in the Andes

Then to add to the confusion,

According to the researchers, the plaza dates from around 4,750 years ago and is one of the earliest examples of a circular plaza construction

It turns out that

“It was probably a gathering place and ceremonial location for some of the earliest people living in this part of the Cajamarca Valley,” Toohey adds. “These people were living a primarily hunting-and-gathering lifestyle and probably had only recently begun growing crops and domesticating animals.”

Add long as it wasn't a pineapple crop, all's well that ends well.

(I love pineapple on pizza, so that admission probably won't end well around here.)

Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there?
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round, and did it have, a motor?
Or was it something different?

I initially read “plaza” as “pizza” and was very confused.

I was like, man, that’s a big pizza. How did it survive? Was it really a pizza without Italians?

I must be hungry. I read your headline fast and thought it said “Ancient megalithic pizza found in the Andes”. :0)

A fine place to view the world and to watch for distant armies or game. Reminds me a little of the setting of Zapotec cultural artifacts in the hills above Oaxaca, Mexico. Very different from the Mixtec villege constructed down in the valley there.
