Archaeologists in Peru have discovered ancient temple ruins that could predate the Inca empire. The 11 room, 2,700 sq ft stone and adobe temple had 11 rooms that held mummies and idols. The temple predates Incas in the region, but has Incan history, as changes were made to the structure following Incan incursion in the area.
"It's from both the Inca and pre-Inca cultures, it has a sequence," Washington Camacho, director of the Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park, told AP news agency.
"The Incas entered and changed the form of the temple, as it initially had a more rustic architecture."
