The Moche Culture thrived in northern Peru from around 100 to 800 AD. Known for their advanced irrigation systems, the Moche people cultivated crops like maize and beans. They built impressive adobe pyramids, such as the Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna, which served as ceremonial centers and burial sites.
Moche artisans were skilled in pottery, metalwork, and textiles, creating intricate designs that often depicted daily life, mythology, and rituals. Their famous ceramic vessels featured detailed scenes and figures, showcasing their artistic talent and cultural beliefs. The Moche civilization left a lasting legacy in Andean history.
