Archaeologists working in the Andes Mountains recently excavated a buried 4, 000-year-old temple containing structures that align with a stone carving on a distant hill to indicate the direction of the rising sun at the summer solstice  Alignments in the temple were also found to point toward the position, at the summer solstice, of a constellation known in Andean culture as the Fox
Since the local mythology represents the fox as teaching people how to cultivate and irrigate plants, the ancient Andeans may have built the temple as a religious representation of the fox
The temple was protected from looters by dirt and debris built up over thousands of years.
