Caral, Peru, had 6 pyramids. The largest of these mounds, "Piramide Mayor," is 60-feet high and 450-by-500 feet at the base, and they have been carbon-dated at 2627 B.C. - which is the same time as when King Djoser was building the Egypt's first pyramid, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara.

"Dr. Ruth Shady believes Caral was a sacred city and administrative center for a civilization that built 17 other sites, most still buried in the Supe Valley and on the nearby Pacific coast."
