Peruvian ancient native
1000-1300AD
Peru
The ancient Peruvian culture is one of the richest and most diverse in the world. Between the years 1000 and 1300 AD, several civilizations developed on the coast, the highlands and the jungle of Peru, such as the Chimu, the Chachapoyas, the Wari and the Incas. These cultures stood out for their art, their architecture, their religion, their social and political organization, and their adaptation to the environment. A possible ancestor of yours could have been the Inca Pachacutec, the ninth ruler of the Tahuantinsuyo, who expanded his empire over much of South America and built the citadel of Machu Picchu2. Pachacutec was a great leader, a visionary and a reformer, who transformed the ancient Peruvian culture.
