The Chimu Culture flourished in northern Peru from around 900 to 1470 AD. Known for their advanced agricultural techniques, the Chimu developed extensive irrigation systems that supported large-scale farming. Their capital, Chan Chan, was one of the largest pre-Columbian cities in the Americas, showcasing impressive adobe architecture and urban planning. Chimu artisans were skilled in metalwork, textiles, and pottery, often using intricate designs and vibrant colors. They worshipped a variety of deities, with a strong emphasis on the moon and sea, reflecting their reliance on marine resources. The culture eventually fell to the Inca Empire in the late 15th century.
