What is Kotosh: Temple of the Crossed Hands about?
The Temple of the Crossed Hands in Kotosh, Peru dates back 4000 years, making it one of the oldest structures in South America, and it features prominent carvings of crossed human forearms that represent an early Andean concept of duality. Archaeologists excavated the site in the 1950s and discovered structures and sculptures showing both technical and artistic complexity from the Kotosh Waira-Jirca culture concentrated in the area over 1800-1300 BC. The crossed-arm symbol is also featured on Peru
