Moche

Pre-Inca civilization on the coast of Peru AD 100–800. Remains include cities, massive platform tombs (adobe), and pottery that details daily and ceremonial life.

In 1988 the burial of one of their warrior-priest rulers was discovered. He was nicknamed the ‘Great Lord of Sipán’ after the village near the site of his pyramid tomb (huaca). It contained a priceless treasure hoard, including a gold mask and ear pendants.
