Ancient Temple in Lambayeque state, Peru.An adobe brick temple is one of three in the Lambayeque valley and may indicate that the area was a capital for worship. Collud was found and partially excavated in 2008, and appears to have been built by people of the Cupisnique culture, ca. 1500 to 1000 B.C. A colored mural features an image of a spider god, frequent in Peru's Early Formative Period, 1200 to 400 B.C.
Archaeologist Walter Alva, director of the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum, led the dig. His son and co-worker, Ignacio Alva, has posted photos of the site and the mural on Panoramio.
Note: 3000 year old temple in Peru holds clue to a little understood culture. See comment.
