Chimú Culture

Biography:

The Chimú culture was an important pre-Columbian civilization that flourished on the northern coast of Peru between the 12th and 15th centuries CE. They were known for their distinctive monochromatic pottery, fine metalworking skills, and extensive irrigation systems. The Chimú people worshipped the moon and believed in offering valuable objects such as Spondylus shells to appease their gods. Their capital was at Chan Chan, a large city built from adobe bricks that is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
