Sican Culture
The Sican Culture thrived in northern Peru from around 750 to 1375 AD. Known for their advanced metalworking, the Sican people created intricate gold and silver artifacts, often used in religious ceremonies and burials. Their society was organized around powerful elite classes, and they built impressive structures, including large pyramids.
The Sican are also recognized for their unique pottery and textiles, which featured vibrant colors and intricate designs. They worshipped a variety of deities, with a strong emphasis on nature and fertility. The decline of the Sican Culture is believed to be linked to environmental changes and the rise of the Inca Empire.
