Caral is very exciting, I can’t wait to see what they find. And the main site I posted from google earth is not all of it. Off to the west there is another valley with six more temples and many more outbuildings still yet to be excavated.
Upriver to the east, and downriver all the way to the sea west there are numerous clusters of housing communities also still not yet excavated . Still unexplored is what looks like several more temple complexes next to the sea at Caleta Vidal. There are generations of work to be done there in that area.
Something I found interesting is that whole area and up to the mountains around Caral looks like it was hit by a tsunami at one point and probably what covered it all with silt. There appears to be evidence of this all along that area for hundreds of miles along the coast.
Caral and area has the most intriguing possibilities of all south American sites so far. :)
I always wondered if that "tsunami" was the result of the earth tilting for some cosmic reason, ending the Ice Age, creating the legends of the Flood, and maybe even creating the salt water Lake Titicaca and the upheavaled structures at Tiahuanaco
