[Aztlan] Archaeologists find ancient citadel in the Peruvian jungle

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

It has been announced that a team of archaeologists have discovered a  
fortified citadel in Amazonian northeast Peru from the pre-Inca era.  
The site covers 12 acres sitting atop a chasm that may have been a  
lookout point. There are rock paintings on some of the fortifications  
and large platforms for grinding seeds and wild plants for medicine  
and food.
The site is likely a Chachapoyas civilization outpost.

I am sure we will hear more about this in coming days and hopefully  
some photos.
