Less visible are those that are helping out in the restaurant next door - Wallqa - who, along with professional chefs, offer us the opportunity to try Peruvian dishes elaborated with French techniques, which can be enjoyed in an elegant setting and at a reasonable price.

How can we explain elongated skulls that are thousands of years old that contain genetic material "unknown in any human, primate or animal known so far"? For months, many of us have been eagerly awaiting the results of the first DNA tests to ever be performed on the famous Paracas skulls. The results for one of the skulls are now in, and the scientist that did the testing is declaring that this skull represents a "new human-like creature" unlike anything that has ever been discovered before. So are these actually Nephilim skulls? Do they come from a time when the world more closely resembled "the Lord of the Rings" than most people living today would ever dare to imagine? There are those who believe that extremely bizarre hybrid races once roamed the planet.
