The Moche civilization was a pre-Columbian civilization in northern Peru that existed between the 1st and 8th centuries AD. They were known for their sophisticated artistic and architectural achievements, including pottery, metalwork, textiles, and monumental constructions.
The Moche civilization was divided into various social classes, with priests and rulers holding the highest positions. They were skilled farmers who used irrigation systems to cultivate crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They also practiced fishing and trade, and were known for their exquisite gold ornaments.
The Moche were polytheistic, and their religion was centered around human sacrifice and rituals involving bloodletting. They worshipped a variety of deities, including the god of the moon and the goddess of fertility.
The Moche civilization collapsed around AD 800, possibly due to natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, as well as internal conflicts and invasions by neighboring tribes. Their legacy lives on through their impressive art and architecture, which provides insight into their complex society and beliefs.
