The world scientific community is still stunned with advanced knowledge in agronomy, climatology, engineering, medicine and other sciences that had 5,000 years ago that populated the Peruvian Caral, said the researcher Ruth Shady.
He stressed that to develop agricultural calendars and predict weather events laboratories that allowed them to determine the beginning and end of the sowing and harvesting campaigns, as well as changes that nature has to adapt to them were installed.
"In the field of energy efficiency and fluid mechanics, in Caral force wind took advantage, now known as Venturi principle, channeling it through underground pipes to have very high temperatures in furnaces," he said.
Shady said that when this knowledge was analyzed by physicists from the United States, they are asked how this civilization knew this 5,000 years ago, when Europe was discovered recently in 1740.
"In the field of pharmacology, in Caral We have found that for ailments such as headaches sauce packets containing the active ingredient of aspirin was applied. This ancestral knowledge survives until today," he said.
The researcher of the Caral civilization stressed that other knowledge that continues to surprise has to do with civil engineering, since the earthquake resistance of buildings 5,000 years ago with bases and applied seismic structures.
"A Belgian engineer who saw it said that knowledge that the ancient Peruvians were developed in at least six centuries to Europe and the rest of Latin knowledge of hydraulic engineering, civil, structural and agricultural" he said.
