The circular plaza lies around 10,000 feet above sea level near the summit of a peak in the Andes Mountains of Peru.
A century or so before the pyramids graced the Egyptian horizon, around the same time as the erection of Stonehenge, hunters and gatherers half a world away were building megalithic stone structures to rival those of farmers.
