more lost and found

An ancient stone plaza unearthed in Peru dates back more than five millennia and is the oldest known urban settlement in the Americas, according to experts here.

archeologists had previously believed that caral, also in peru, had the oldest structure---one of the articles also noted that caral was one of six places in the world -- along with Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India and Mesoamerica -- where humans started living in cities about 5,000 years ago.

they all got the same directive from god, i guess----
