The Sacred City of Caral-Supe, one of the most important and little-known cultures of the American continent, is located in the province of Barranca, Lima Region, Peru.

“It constitutes the oldest manifestation of civilization in Peru and on the American continent due to its 5,000 years of age. It is made up of 32 monumental buildings, included in a complex system of settlements that show a strong religious ideology, among which are distinguished ceremonial buildings, residential sectors for people of different social rank, a set of minor temples and production workshops. Caral led a settlement system that brought together 17 similar, although smaller, sites located in the Supe Valley.

“It expresses the complexity and development of an early socio-political and economic organization model during the Late Archaic Period (5000-3800 BP) originated independently by the Andean societies that inhabited this small fertile valley on the central Peruvian coast.”

Did you know that if you visit the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran in Rome, you will pass through magnificent bronze doors that are the originals of the Curia of the Roman Senate that was in the Forum. They are dated to the reign of Emperor Domitian (81-96).

The Roman Forum was the area in which public life took place in ancient Rome and the Curia (“meeting house”) was the building where the Senate met to make administrative and government decisions in ancient Rome.

Pope Honorius I converted the Curia building into a church in the year 630, consecrating it to Saint Hadrian, and in 1660 Pope Alexander VII moved the doors to the archbasilica.

They are very well preserved, decorated with stars, caskets, and garlands, they are incredibly beautiful and remind you that emperors passed through them.

Colossal statue of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (ruled from 1407 BC to 1376 BC 9th Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty), his Great Royal Wife Tiy or Tiye and three of his daughters. Saying that he was the father of Akhenaten, the “heretic” pharaoh.

It measures more than 4.4 m wide and 7 m high and was originally polychrome.

It belonged to the funerary temple of Amenhotep III, the largest built in Thebes, even surpassing the great temple of Karnak in dimensions. There are hardly any remains; today the statue is in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
