Archaeologists find stone engraved with 3,500-year-old astronomical symbols in Peru b4in.org/d6UU Archaeologists in Peru made a remarkable discovery when they found what they believe is a stone altar containing ancient petroglyphs dating back to 3,500 to 4,000 years ago, according to a news report in Andina. Researchers said the engravings were used to track stars and therefore to forecast rain fall. The discovery was made at the archaeological complex of Licurnique, located four hours from Olmos district in Peru’s northern region of Lambayeque. The Lambayeque region is known for its archaeological finds and rich Moche and Chimú historical past. The name Lambayeque is a Spanish derivation of the god Yampellec, said to have been worshipped by the first Lambayeque king, Naymlap. More b4in.org/d6UU
