Kind of humbling to realize that while Mesopotamia and Egypt were building empires, folks in Peru were constructing circular temples, making seashell jewelry, and setting up complex trade networks completely independently

In fact, when this Peruvian city was built, Egypt had been an empire for 2,000 years and the first pyramid was around 1,000 years old.
