Chavin de Huantar
The Chavin didn´t conquer by warfare but by artistic and cultural development, and were much more stylized and cultist than the naturalistic style of the later Moche and Nasca. Corn was a staple diet along with squash, avocados and yucca. The Chavin through their art and religion of feline worshipping cults influenced a large part of el peru! Below the Castillo are underground tunnels, and at the heart of the complex a 4m high monolith, carved rock called Lanzon de Chavin.
