The Moche culture is a pre-Columbian South American culture that existed off the coast of Peru in the 1st to 8th centuries AD. The center of this culture was the present city of Trujillo. These people lived mainly in valleys separated by the deserts of Peru’s arid coastline. The beginning of civilization takes from the valley of the Moche River of the same name, where these people lived. They then extended their influence to the neighboring Chicama Valley and after that, relying on the resources of the two valleys, they defeated their neighbors.
B.C. Excavations were carried out in the Panyamarca architectural complex, which was built between 550-800 BC. In AD, frescoed walls were discovered in the Nepenya River valley. They depict two-faced figures, one holding a fan and goblet, and the other holding a fan and scepter. Other frescoes mostly show single figures, there is one that shows a group of people standing next to an anthropomorphic snake.
Lisa Trever of Columbia University said: “Panyamarca has been a site of remarkable creative innovation and creativity, where artists have developed their knowledge of artistic canons in a creative and meaningful way, as the people of Nepeña solidified their position in the Moche’s far south world.”
The team hypothesized that the murals, along with mountain-style textiles and tropical feathers found alongside the local pottery and material culture during the excavations, were evidence of long-term multicultural relationships and economies.
