Pyramid Huaca Ualyamarka, Peru

From series “Top Survived Pyramids from Previous Civilizations”
Year: 4th century.

One of the main attractions of the Peruvian city of Limas is the pyramid Huaca Ualyamarka. The scientists have found that it was relatively recent, built in the 4th century. The locals held the truncated pyramid, hidden under the earth layer, for an ordinary stone plateau until the end of the 20th century. The researchers who arrived in Lima in the 80s of the last century have excavated the pyramid, which was recognized as a distinctive historical monument.

For the pyramid construction one has used the unfired bricks. Presumably the building was used for the execution of the sacred rituals. The well-preserved floor of the pyramid became an unexpected discovery for archaeologists. Probably only a few people from the elite could visit the sacred place. In the pyramid, a few graves were discovered. The 'burial treasures' found were very unexpected.

Instead of gold and jewelery, archaeologists have found the everyday objects, the children's toys and the management instruments in the pyramid. Perhaps the noble women were buried in the pyramid. Not far from Huaca Ualyamarka was the museum, where all the artefacts discovered in the ancient building are presented today. In researching the territory, the traces of other ancient buildings have been found. Today, the archaeological zone of Huaca Ualyamarka is open for visitors and is very popular among tourists.
