The Unique History Different From the Rest of the World
The development of metallurgy in the New World occurred completely independently from the Old World. In the Andes, the first evidence of metalworking dates from 1500 BC, with the discovery of sheets of native gold at the burial site of Waywaka in Andahuaylas in the southern highlands of Peru. As a comparison, let us remember that the first evidence of metallurgy in Mesoamerica (México) dates from 600 AD, and its introduction was influenced by the technologies developed by South American cultures (Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru).
