The Moche (Peoples of America)

The Moche civilization was created by people living in the arid coastal regions of Northern Peru from around 100 to 700 CE. This civilization had long been known for the great mud-brick pyramids that tower over the river valleys, and for the splendor of its art and agricultural prowess. However, the social organization and political history underlying these achievements remained generally obscure. At the end of the 1980s, however, our vision of Moche society was suddenly and irrevocably altered by a series of discoveries on the north coast of Peru. The discoveries revealed stunning artistic and technological achievements resulting in a dramatic revision of views regarding the sophistication and power of Moche society. This is the first book to describe this ancient civilization in the light of the new evidence.
