Video of the Day: “The Pyramids of Capal”

Below is a BBC documentary on the ancient pyramids of Capal, Peru. Scientists believe that Capal was the earliest known urban settlement in the Americas. Moreover, archeologists think that Capal was one of a series of “cities” in the Supe Valley whose population may have been roughly 20,000 people.

The film is about 50 minutes long but definitely a must see.
