The magnificent ancient city of pyramids at Caral in Peru hit the headlines in 2001. The site is a thousand years older than the earliest known civilisation in the Americas and, at 2,627 BC, is as old as the pyramids of Egypt. Many now believe it is the fabled missing link of archaeology - a 'mother city'. If so, then these extraordinary findings could finally answer one of the great questions of archaeology: why did humans become civilised?
A lot has been discussed since this was put out.
From Seattle Times (December 23, 2004):
"A Peruvian site previously reported as the oldest city in the Americas actually is a much larger complex of as many as 20 cities with huge pyramids and sunken plazas sprawled over three river valleys, researchers report."
Construction began in 3000 B.C (300-400 years before the people of Kemet/Egypt began the Pyramid of Djoser). These cities flourished peacefully for more than 1,200 years.

The Lost Pyramids Of Caral
Archaeology vs. The Bible
If you're looking for hard evidence for the biblical stories, the archaeologists have it - or more accurately, they don't have it. This video features Anne, a real working archaeologist who explains what archaeologists do and how they do it and what they find. And they find very
little of significance to support the Bible stories. King David existed, but he was only a two-bit chieftain, and the Exodus did not happen, and Joshua did not level the walls of Jericho. As for early Christianity, it was far from being a community united in one belief and spread by love, as
the Bible claims. (video produced by http://www.atheistsforhumanrights.org/ - used with permission)
Even the few allegedly sustained elements within the Bible are easily called into question by noting that the various historical murals and inscriptions attesting to similar events may well have been the source for the legends found in the Bible.

Waco The Big Lie II
Linda Thompson is an Indianapolis based attorney who took it upon herself to gather all available evidence of the WACO disaster. For the first time you are able to see film footage not shown on the news-casts. You will see that even what was shown on the nightly news was "doctored" to make you believe what the Government wanted you to believe, instead of the Truth.
