    Built by an Unknown Culture, This Is The Oldest Sun Observatory in The Americas
    CARLY CASSELLA
    29 MARCH 2022
    Long before the Incas rose to power in Peru and began to celebrate their sun god, a little known civilization was building the earliest known astronomical observatory in the Americas.


    While not quite as old as sites like Stonehenge, these ancient ruins, known as Chankillo, are considered a "masterpiece of human creative genius", holding unique features not seen anywhere else in the world.

    Based in the coastal desert of Peru, the archaeological site famously contains a row of 13 stone towers, which together trace the horizon of a hill, north to south, like a toothy bottom grin.

    Apart from this remarkable structure, known as the Thirteen Towers, the ruins of the observatory also include a triple-walled hilltop complex called the Fortified Temple and two building complexes called the Observatory and the Administrative Center.

    Completed over 2,300 years ago and abandoned in the first century of the common era, the site has remained a mystery to travelers for centuries.

    situated at 9S33 latitude
    white OPIUCHUS star SABIK, was at declination 9S33, 340BC..meaning that the star SABIK, passed exactly vertically overhead this site during time of construction
    ..this is in keeping with virtually all ancient sites, from mesopatamia, egypt, the americas and more(including greek temples, gothic cathedrals, scythian kurgans and much more)..
    from my perspective on examination of location and timing of hundreds of sites worldwide, they were all built using keen awareness/knowledge and attunement of the stars...i think the 'priests/shamans/architects' traveled worldwide to the places where key stars were moving into influence for that location(again and again and again)

    I believe an older site that used astronomical measurements in the western hemisphere was puma punku of Bolivia. It is extremely old, with giant blocks made out of very hard stone. I believe that the original archeologist on the site many decades ago concluded that the structures in the site aligned with astronomical configurations dating back 25000 years. Puma punku is fascinating evidence of the antdeluvian advanced civilization.
