Peruvian Stonehedge?

I found the following interesting, and did not note any details on the site (ATS) in respects to this.

And this from an Unknown, but yet advanced people, centuries before what we previously understood.

The people who built the observatory - three millenniums before the emergence of the Incas - are a mystery, but they achieved a level of art and science that archaeologists say they did not know existed in the region until at least 800 years later.

The find adds strong evidence to support the recent idea that a sophisticated civilisation developed in South America in the pre-ceramic era, before the development of fired pottery sometime after 1500BC.

Nice to see we do not know everything yet!
