At 14,000 feet in Peru's Ancash region, archaeologists discovered Sapo Rumi — a megalithic site featuring stone boxes perfectly carved into the rock. The site includes symmetrical elements that fit together precisely, and some boxes have lids that were deliberately removed. Researchers suggest local communities may have been concealing something at this remote ridge-top location. The site is situated on high elevations above Cosma, with Craig Dengel documented conducting research at the location.
