Moche tomb
The Moche tomb refers to burial sites associated with the Moche civilization, which thrived in northern Peru from around 100 to 800 AD. These tombs are often elaborate, containing rich offerings such as pottery, jewelry, and tools, reflecting the social status of the deceased. The Moche people believed in an afterlife, and their burial practices included intricate rituals.
Many Moche tombs are found in the Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna, two significant archaeological sites. Excavations have revealed detailed murals and artifacts that provide insight into Moche culture, including their art, religion, and social hierarchy.
