Aztecs. Maya. The Story of Mankind. Inca, Maya, Aztec. The Lost Civilisation Of Peru (BBC) by RosesFlowering 44,121 views Two thousand years ago a mysterious and little known civilization ruled the northern coast of Peru.
Its people were called the Moche. They built huge and bizarre pyramids that still dominate the surrounding countryside; some well over a hundred feet tall. Many are so heavily eroded they look like natural hills; only close up can you see they are made up of millions of mud bricks. Several of the pyramids, known as 'huacas', meaning sacred site in the local Indian dialect, contain rich collections of murals depicting both secular and sacred scenes from the Moche world. Out in the desert, archaeologists have also found the 2,000-year-old remains of an extensive system of mud brick aqueducts which enabled the Moche to tame their desert environment. But who were the Moche? Today, after 1,500 years, the Moche, and their legacy are beginning to take their place in world history. Mayan, Incan, and Aztec Cultures. 1.
