In this photo provided by Caral Project, appears a panoramic view of Caral ruins on Sept. 2006. Ruth Shady, a Peruvian archaeologist from San Marcos University, discovered Caral in 1994, and was stunned by its size and complexity. 'Caral combined size with construction volume, but also it was a planned city,' she says. Shady and her team continue working at Caral but she also dedicates her time to promoting the project with Peru's National Culture Institute as a tourist and educational destination.
