Just to the north of the city of Lima, Peru are the ruins of an ancient city known as Caral, which is located in the Supe Valley.
After excavations of this site began in 2001 archaeologists revealed this almost forgotten complex as the home of the earliest known settlement in the New World, dating it to well before 2600 B.C.
Just a half-mile to the south west of the main city complex of mounds and half-buried pyramids is an immense half-faced set into the surface of this once sacred ground.
Notice the D-shaped head with its large gaping mouth and raked hair. The facial features include a sliced in half nose and a sagging, almond-shaped eye.
I contend that this terrestrial half-face geoglyph can be seen as an analogue for the review of half-face geoglyphs observed on Mars.
