"It is the oldest Quipu and showed us a social life ... Mark has also had a system for" Writing "which will continue until the Inca empire and ended 4,500 years of" Shady said.
He has spoken before the opening of the "LimaTuesday" in the exhibition goods result from on Caral, which she called as a country with an ancient civilization.
Quipu well, made of brown yarn wrapped around thin sticks, also has found a series of offerings including mysterious fiber balls of different sizes wrapped in "nets" and pristine reed baskets.
"We believe it is a tool corresponds to the period of Caral because it was found in public buildings," Shady said. There is a place offering on top of a ladder, when they decided to bury it and put a floor to build another arrangement on it. "
Pyramid-shaped public buildings were built at Caral, a planned coastal city 115 Miles north of Lima, at the same time the Pyramid of Saqqara, Egypt, was built. They have changed when the Ancient Egyptian Pyramid of Keops (or Khufu) in repair, Shady said.

Caral is an arid region with an altitude of 11,500 feet which have helped to protect his assets, such as piles of coarse cotton-uncombed and separated the seeds, though turned back into a brown and dirty with age and a roll of cotton yarn.
The exhibition also exhibited 25 large whale bones found at a place, also sandals made of cotton and flutes and pipes made of animal horns, pelican or condor bones or reeds.
