Listeros,
New remote sensing technology has revealed an ancient adobe pyramid in
Peru's Cahuachi desert a mile from the Cahuachi site. Nicola Masinsi
and Rosa Lasaponara announced the discovery at a satellite imagery
conference in Rome. Cahuachi is a Nazca site from 100 BCE-500 CE. The
Nazca sealed all of their monuments and buried then under desert sand
at Cahuachi when they abandoned the site. The new pyramid is 300 by
328 feet at the base and has four terraces and seven levels. Other
buried structures nearby are now being investigated.
Discovery has the story and a video here;
