CEMETERY fossil dates back some 120 million years

not the Peruvian Andes only been the cradle of great pre-Inca cultures, but also a large cemetery of the remains of dinosaurs and similar species that inhabited more than 4,600 meters above sea level about 120 million years.

A recent discovery of fossilized footprints shows that at least 12 species of these reptiles lived in what is today our mountains.

Such species would bipedal carnivores (theropods) of various sizes, from giant to small and herbivores semibípedos (ornithopods).

He was buried in what is now the department of Ancash and were found when performing construction work on the road that links the camp Yanacancha, Antamina mining company, with crossing Conococha at kilometer 80 of the track.

The Department of Environment of the company to carefully explore the area and found footprints in other places as well as large quantities of bones.

Among them, fossils of other animals of the Jurassic era, such as marine reptiles known as sauropterigios, of which there are entire skeletons, reptiles ichthyosaurs type (fish-shaped) and extinct crocodiles branches, as well as pterosaurs (flying reptiles ) and turtles. Also, ancient remains of fish and invertebrates impressive amounts of well preserved, refers Antamina.

According to the company, the latter findings imply a new altitude record because the fossils are found at 5,000 meters above sea level.

ORIGIN. The explanation for this presence would be in the early Cretaceous period, 120 million years ago, herds of these animals have crossed a muddy beach on the shores of a sea now disappeared, leaving the mark of his footsteps, which were quickly dried and hardened by the tropical sun.

Then, it is estimated that these footprints were covered by more sand and mud, which were preserved through geological time pitiless, until the machines were again exposed, this time the cold air of the jalcas.

Journalist Lord for these lands the chiefs Copiz, Cutivalú, Chirimasa Maizavilca and in the years of 1528, in time of arrival of first conquering expedition led by Captain Bartholomew Ruiz to cove of Puerto Pizarro in the city now known as Tumbes.

flourished in these lands Tallan cultures, and to a lesser extent Tumpis cultures of Guayacundos, Huancapampas and Vicus in pre-Hispanic times, and the first female government curacas known as Las Capullana, on the north coast Piura.

regard, the northern scholar Genaro Vera Mace in his book "Culture Tallan" refers to the chronicler Fray Reginaldo Lizárraga notes: "By the River Motupe I found a people ruled by women who were Capullana, named for the English because of their dress that had a way of hoods, with which they cover the throat to feet, tightening the waist band. " Tallan

Ethnicity was an agricultural town and became the valleys of Tumbes, Piura and Chira in areas rich and fertile, which assured them a great food productivity, while causing the surprise of the first conquerors.

In his "Chronicle of Peru," says Cieza de Leon: "This Tumbes valley used to be heavily populated and styled, full of beautiful and fresh trenches, taken from the river, which watered everything they wanted, and caught much corn and other things necessary to human sustenance, and many very tasty fruit. "

However, it would have to characterize the tallanes be his dominion over the sea by sailing. The chronicler Cieza de León describes the encounter between Bartolomé Ruiz and rafters tallanes:

But long before, was the Inca ruler Tupac Yupanqui, come to this land in rapidly expanding the rule of Tahuantinsuyo, who was pleasantly surprised with wisdom and ability of the Fishermen Tallan and the strength of large ponds which were used to conquer the sea.

Tallan's ability and strength to dominate the sea is what drives the young Inca Tupac Yupanqui to start their maritime expeditions, which, according to José Antonio del Busto, historian and seasoned sailor, it brings out in Polynesia and Oceania "27 years before Columbus discovered America and 55 years before Magellan rediscovered Oceania."

Regarding its geographical domain, historical notes indicate that Tallan was encamped in the "geographical area comprising the areas Manta in Ecuador, to the north, and south to Olmos, and 20 miles inland. "

His tongue was the ZEC, and were characterized by a warlike people, unlike the Vicus, the people they represented through their pottery a homosexual inclination, always subject to the domination of the day, first under the Moche, then under the influence Chimu and later under the aegis of the Inca empire.
