5000-year-old anthropomorphic figures found in Huaura, Lima
5000-year-old anthropomorphic figures found in Huaura, Lima
Lima, Jun. 08 (ANDINA).- In the last days, a team of archaeologists headed by Ruth Shady has discovered a number of anthropomorphic figures believed to be some five thousand years old near the district of Vegueta in the province of Huaura on the coast north of Lima.
These relics have been unearthed in the archeological site of Vichama, or "hidden city", a place that belongs to the same civilization of Caral and which is located 159 kilometers north of Lima. Caral is considered the oldest city of America with around 5000 years old.
The figures represent a woman nursing and a person of high social status. It was reported that Carbon 14 dating will soon determine how old these relics are.
This discovery occurs almost a year after the start of archaeological works on this site headed by Dr. Ruth Shady.
These objects, along with others found at the scene, will be exhibited at the Communitarian Museum of Vegueta starting this weekend.
Cool I’ll be in Lima in the morning. May have to go check this out.
I'm so focused on anthropomorphic global warming (AGW) that for a moment - and just for a moment - I thought that the “anthropomorphic figures “ being referred to was a new “data set” that the IPCC and other AGW proponents are going to use to try to bolster their case.
Excellent.
Tell Ruth I said hi and that I'll have a word with Jonathan Haas and Winifred Creamer if she'd like.
I have some good photos from an old Inca ruin that I took yesterday not far from Baracca, an hour or so from Lima
If it’s workable and safe for you . . .
please inquire of the well connected and alert locals . . . if you can and have some you trust . . .
what their assessment is of globalism . . .
—how positive/negative do they see how many of the ruling elites see it?
—how many of the better educated and more authentically Christian in life-style are alert to the horrors of globalism?
—What do they see or sense ahead the next 3-12 months?
Would appreciate a FREEPMAIL if you are able to get any such impressions or responses.
blessings, safety and God’s protection and guidance on your trip.
I am going to Lima to fly home. I have been here for over a week. I had the opportunity to meet with a 94 year old priest, several Nuns, and the mayor of Huacho. Just today I met the Mayor of Baracca.
That sounds really exciting...what have you been doing there?
Medical treatment, rebuilding some schools, bio-med repair, assessing the area for return trips. (Hearts and Minds)
congrats for your accomplishments there.

Looks like Manbearpig to me. I wonder what it’s doing with/to that child in its arms?
This is practically current events. 5000 years? Don’t know when to stop laughing.
As opposed to anthropogenic?
Thanks.
