=Huaca Juliana=

The Huaca Juliana is a large clay and adobe structure built in Ancient Peru. It is located in the center of Lima, Peru, with the highest point reaching almost 75 feet into the air. It is believed this building was used and built from 200 A.D. to 700 A.D. The large pyramid-like structure is thought to be a religious structure run by a group of priests. There are even sacrifice pits for marine creatures to put the gods in their favor.

Today, Huaca Juliana has a gift shop, a restaurant, and a museum. It became a historical and cultural site in 1991 thanks to the Peruvian Cultural Institute and the Municipality of Miraflores. Archaeologists have found several examples of art, animal bones, and human bones. They have found tools that give them clues as to how the inhabitants of this large complex lived their day-to-day lives.

This structure is important and has a large history with several different tribes and civilizations. There is still some speculation about what specifically it was used for but it is still a beautiful site. Overall, it is mysterious, interesting, and amazing.
