Caral, located in Peru, is an ancient archaeological site considered one of the oldest cities in the Americas. Dating back to around 5,000 years ago, it was a bustling metropolis with no signs of warfare, suggesting a peaceful society focused on commerce and pleasure. The site includes impressive temple complexes, residential buildings, and even musical instruments like flutes made of deer and llama bones. With its unique layout divided into an "Upper Half" for elites and a "Lower Half" for laborers, Caral offers insights into the early urban development of Andean civilizations.
