Today we will open our minds to the maximum in our visit to the Chavin de Huántar archaeological complex (3180 m.as.l). We will have the explanation of the mystic guide in the archaeological site that was the most crowded pilgrimage and religious center of the pre-Inca Andean world (1200 BC). It seems that the place was carefully chosen under strict magic-religious criteria, because of its location between very productive valleys. The temple has narrow galleries and rooms inside. In one of them is the Lanzon, a 4.53 meter monolithic sculpture in the form of a giant carved knife that represents an anthropomorphic image with feline, bird and snake motifs. Its dimensions in height, length and width are similar to those of the Temple of Solomon (Jerusalem), and its entrance also faces the East, towards the sunrise.
