Comments

KOTOSH is a pre-ceramic archaeological site in the Huánuco region, in the highlands of Peru's central Andes, where 10 superimposed buildings have been identified.
While clearing a terraced temple, the "Relief of the Crossed Hands", a bas-relief made of dried mud and thought to date back more than 4,200 years, was uncovered, making the site one of the oldest on the American continent in terms of religious architecture and sculpture.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

KOTOSH est un site archéologique précéramique de la région de Huánuco, sur les hauts plateaux des Andes centrales du Pérou. 10 édifices superposés y ont été repérés.
En déblayant un temple en terrasse, le "Relief des mains croisées", un bas-relief réalisé en boue séchée et dont l'existence remonterait à plus de 4 200 ans a été mis à jour, ce qui ferait du site l'un des plus anciens du continent américain en matière d’architecture et de sculpture religieuse.
