Ancient Burials Unearthed at Pre-Incan Temple in Peru

Discovery of four remains at a water cult site offers new insights into early South American civilizations.

Archaeologists found burials of two children, a teenager, and an adult in Peru's Viru Valley.
The site, dating back 3,800 years, includes symbolic offerings like stone pendants and snail shells.
The burials were positioned facing the Andean mountains, indicating possible religious significance.
Excavation covered only 1% of the site, suggesting more remains may be uncovered.
Researchers emphasize the need to protect the site from agricultural encroachment.
