Ancient temple discovered in Ayacucho

A section of an ancient structure, probably 3,000 years old, was recently unearthed in a hill near Vilcashuaman in the region of Ayacucho. The design of the structure is similar to the temple of Chavin de Huantar, which is located far North in the region of Ancash. The site was built with stones and includes platforms and what could be a plaza or main square. Due to the materials found in the site, it is possible that the population may have had a link with the Paracas culture located West on the Pacific shores in the region of Ica.
