AncientPages.com - An ancient wall relief in Peru, belonging to the oldest civilizations in the Americas, had been unearthed at the ancient Caral site of Vichama in Peru’s central coastal region, reports DW News.
The wall is approximately 3,800 years old and depicts snakes and human heads carved into an adobe wall. One meter (3.2 feet) high and 2.8 meters long, the wall relief was discovered in the sea-side archaeological site of Vichama, 110 kilometers (68 miles) north of Peru's capital, Lima.
Archaeologist Ruth Shady SolÃs, director of the Caral excavations, informed the relief was most probably created towards the end of a drought and famine that the Caral civilization experienced.
Other reliefs discovered nearby showed emaciated humans.
