REAL estate developers using heavy machinery tore down a 6-meter-tall pyramid at the oldest archaeological site near Peru's capital, cultural officials said on Wednesday.
Rafael Varon, deputy minister of cultural patrimony, said the destruction occurred over the weekend at the ruins of El Paraiso, which is a few kilometers north of Lima.
He said his agency has lodged criminal complaints against the two companies, identified as the Alisol and Provelanz, and has moved to seize the equipment used. El Paraiso was built some 4,000 years ago as a religious and administrative center long before the rise of the Inca culture.
