How many more amazing discoveries do our scientists and archaeologists have to make about civilizations that previously existed on Earth? The history of our planet is full of secrets and mysteries, and we collect this information bit by bit, and I, in turn, try to publish the most interesting materials on this topic.
Peru is an amazing country, where many amazing buildings of antiquity are found and the remains of the Chachapoya civilization were also found there. The name is translated as "people of clouds" or "warriors of the fog", which most accurately conveys the meaning of these ancient people who chose hard-to-reach places and high mountains for their habitats. Archaeologists were surprised by the strange postures of the mummies that were found and the large number of burials. It was these mummies that confirmed the hypothesis of the existence of this civilization, previously there were only guesses about such a possibility.
Surprisingly, it is believed that this civilization is older than the Inca civilization and arose around the heyday of the Mayan civilization. The Incas mentioned chachapoya in their texts, but it was previously believed that these texts are nothing more than beautiful legends. The Incas described these people as very beautiful, tall and fair-skinned, and this is very strange given the area of residence. About one and a half thousand ruins and well-preserved buildings have been discovered, and it is assumed that the civilization occupied an area of about 30 thousand square kilometers. The people inhabiting these places were engaged in agriculture, they had an excellent drainage system, were engaged in the processing of stone and iron, weaved and were engaged in various types of crafts.
Locals who live near the remains of an ancient civilization tell stories about the ghosts of tall and fair-skinned people and consider these places cursed. Those who decide to enter the ancient land are waiting for a snake that turns into stone, people say. Found mummies are in unnatural positions and often they cover their face with their hands, as if in horror from something unknown. There are many places with secrets on our planet and this is just such a place. Will we ever be able to figure out what happened to this civilization or will it remain a mystery?
