Interpretation related to the Sacred City of Caral

Miraya urban center has cultural components, similar to those of Caral civilization, particularly since the middle of the Initial Formative period. Economic and religious activities that characterized the Sacred City of Caral were also similar.

During the Early Formative period, the settlement’s population was reduced, and there were less new buildings than those built by the people of Piedra Parada and Vichama, at the coastline, with whom they shared cultural styles and elements.

Miraya was part of the interactive network of resources and knowledge formed by the settlements in the coastline, the valley and other regions of the north-central area of Peru.
