A visit to the 5000 year old ancient city of Caral, which makes the the second or third oldest civilization in the world after ancient Mesopotamia (that we know about).
As some amazing youtube personalities suggest, like Jimmy from Bright Insight - (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsIlJ9eYylZQcyfMOPNUz9w) it is very likely human civilization dates back far more than our history books tell us in school.
Caral has been proven to be around the same age as Ancient Egypt. This complex housed nearly 3,000 people and unique to the ancient world that it was a center of trade and commerce and the exchange of ideas. No weapons have been found here. This was a ancient center of commercial exchange and most likely spiritual worship. How the ancient people of the area built it and managed to exchange goods from as far from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes and Amazon remains a mystery.
