*Ancient City Unearthed!*

In a remarkable archaeological discovery, researchers have unearthed a 3,500-year-old city named Penico in Peru, linked to one of the world's oldest civilizations. Approximately 200 miles north of Lima, this ancient trade hub connected coastal communities, the Andes, and the Amazon. The site, similar to the ancient city of Caral, reveals a strategic center for trade. With impressive structures, ceremonial artifacts, and evidence of extensive trade networks, Penico showcases the complexity and integration of early South American societies.
