Peru - Prehistoric Culture
Peru is made of three zones -
The Desert coast - with the wealth of the Pacific Ocean
The Andes - both black and white - with soaring sheer sided mountains
The Amazon - with its rich and diverse jungle
Some of the earliest temples – such as Sechin (Casma) ~1290 BC and the temple complexes in Marka Wasi– have a threefold structure.
The ground floor is dedicated to the whale or fish
The middle layer is dedicated to the jaguar
And the top to the Condor
Some links to these temple complexes are:-
