I’m not sure where this recent find was in Peru, but a spider god is not uncommon. Ai Apaec, also known as the Decapitator God, is a Moche god often depicted with a tumi knife, sometimes taking the form of a spider or a mountain. He was their chief deity and the Moche held state-sponsored blood sport and sacrifice in his honor. The Moche were a pre-Inca culture in northern Peru.

I have some experience reading cuneiform, specifically pre-Sargonite ones. Sadly the books are unobtainium now, and you do really need them because it doesn't work like letters in the same way we have them now, it is more like Chinese or Japanese where a series of strokes together form a part of a phrase. As I recall later cuneiform is a bit less like that but as it often borrows from the old system you'd have to know both to read it.
